The computer completely lacks the capacity of updating the OS. Hence, I need to upgrade the hard disk. I checked that this machine has a soldered hard drive (eMMC). Does anybody has the exact location and if there is any other possibility of upgrading the hard drive without soldering the new one?

Hi @greatpunit
Replacing eMMC flash memory may be difficult. The manual shows that the laptop has a micro SD card slot so perhaps a quicker, easier and cheaper option to consider rather than replacing the storage memory or even the motherboard (see Item #11 on p.10-11 of the maintenance and service guide taken from this support page for the laptop, although this will only give you 64GB of storage) is to permanently insert the largest capacity micro SD Card that you can afford or wish to have and configure it as the storage drive and use the onboard storage as the drive for the OS and programs only
Doing this has its advantages:
There is not too much of a speed differential when accessing the card or the onboard storage.
Your data is safe from board failures (or even OS failures that may need an OS reinstall) because the card is easily removed and your data can be accessed elsewhere if necessary.
It is reasonably secure as you can take it with you when leaving the laptop unattended in libraries for example - just don’t forget to unmount it first before removing if the laptop is still turned on.
You don’t have to constantly remember to perform regular backups if your data is not set to auto back up, although having a recent backup is always advisable as even SD cards can fail
It is unobtrusive so it can be left in there, without interfering with the laptop usage (handling) or storing, if in a bag or case etc i.e. sits flush and is not protruding.
The disadvantages are:
It can be argued that your data is not as safe from physical theft as it would be if stored in the laptop (easier to take the card than the laptop) but others would have to know about the card being there - so don't tell them ;-)
You can easily misplace or even damage a small SD card if you remove it and handle it too often
Another downside is if you regularly wish to use the slot for something else e.g. copy and transfer data to the laptop from a SD card (camera?) or to another device using another SD card, but then I suppose you could copy it to the same card and then insert it in a card reader or slot connected with another device etc.

thank you for the prompt response. i completely understand your suggestion. I still am unable to update the system since there is no space. Its 32gb version. If there is a provision to put OS on SD card, that will be the best option!
I'm not sure that you will be able to boot from an SD card. I don't think that's an option in BIOS. You may have to check this though.
You may be stuck with the OS version you have or replace the motherboard (part numbers in manual I linked) to the 64GB version. search online using the part number only of the board you may want, to find suppliers to get an idea of the cost of doing this.
This seem to be a solution. I will check if i cud source it. Meanwhile i might be interested in getting a solder job if possible with 128gb higher capacity eMMC. This might be very risky and will need a professional for it.
