https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/HT507154 Videos that show how to open the laptop. I used a guitar pick to seperate the back cover once I removed the screws. The one screw in the middle not below the air vents is the screw that holds the DVD and must be removed first. Be careful because the little plastic snaps break easily. I broke two but the 13 screws more than supports the laptop back. Put a solid state drive and max out the memory and the laptop is blazing fast. Sell the hard drive and memory pulled to break even. Voids warranty but at $200 bucks just buy another one.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This model is not user upgradable. A certified technician must do all of the work, so as to not void the warranty. This device ships with a standard SATA format hard drive. Your certified technician can replace the existing standard SATA hard drive with a compatible solid state hard drive. Check with your certified technician for your options.
