Introduction

Before you perform this repair, if at all possible, back up your existing SSD. If you are replacing the SSD where your operating system is installed, familiarize yourself with a disk cloning utility so you’ll be ready to migrate your data to the new SSD.

Finally, be sure to completely power off and unplug your laptop. Make sure the laptop is not in standby, sleep, or hibernation mode.

              Remove the Phillips screws               

• Completely power off and unplug your EliteBook before you start. Close the display and flip the entire laptop upside-down.
