Product: HP Envy 750-287c
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I am looking to upgrade my CPU cooler to the Hyper 212 Evo from Cooler Master, and I have found that a backplate needs to be installed on the back side of the motherboard. The back panel of my case has weird circular screws that I can't find a screwdriver for. I'm wondering if anyone knows if there is an easy way to remove this panel or if it cannot be removed. Any help would be great. Thanks!

while the screw may have a round head like (all screws do) the center should have what looks like a "star" pattern this is known as a torx,...... and in your case the correct bit size should be a torx # 10 bit
