Hi Warren Hyland,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum. I understand how important it is to know the exact storage type on your Surface Laptop 4, and I’m here to help make this process as simple as possible.

While the About section in Windows Settings provides useful details like processor and memory, it doesn’t show the storage type. To find this information, please follow these steps:

1. Open Settings > System > Storage.
2. Scroll down and select Advanced storage settings > Disks & volumes.
3. Click your main drive (usually C:) and choose Properties.
4. If the model name includes “NVMe,” your device uses an NVMe SSD. Otherwise, it may be SATA.

Another way to check is by using Device Manager. Press Windows + X and select Device Manager. Expand Disk drives, and you’ll see the device name, which often includes the manufacturer and model of the SSD. This can help identify the type.

Hope this information helps. If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out. I'm here to help.
