How to remove the back case for a HP 24-DF0076

[Roadgeek]

I just bought an HP 24DF0076 All in One and discovered it has 8 GB RAM.   I am seeking to upgrade it to 16 GB of RAM.   That would entail getting the back case and screen separated from one another.   I got as far as removing the bottom metal stand from the unit but am at a loss to determine what to do next to successfully open the case.

Yes, that is the correct manual.   I admit that it was a bit difficult to decipher from the illustrations provided. 

However, I happened to come across a YouTube video featuring someone disassembling a very similar HP All in One model 24 F0010.

The speaker made an effort to clearly explain that one has to remove the front speaker panel to get at the screws holding down the monitor and then to lift from the edges of the frame around the monitor. 

Following his instructions, I was able to get the case opened.
