As we have properly understood your issue you want to replace your hard disk in  your laptop for this please follow these steps:

 

  1. Turn the computer off and remove the back panel. 
  2. Look for any screws securing your drive to the laptop. 
  3. Lift the old drive up about 30 or 45 degrees and pull it out.
  4. In its place, install the SSD and put the back panel on.

Thank you for the quick answer, but the big question is with the HP Notebook – 17-Y006NG how do i get the back panel off.

I removed every screw on the back of the laptop. Then removed the DVD drive. But then the complete back does not even move and i dont want to break stuff. So i thought there must be a trick to get this thing open.
