Product: Envy 13t-ad100
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Upgrading SSD.. how to remove rear cover ?
It has 4 star like screws, one in each corner. 

Does anyone know the actual screw size to remove the 4 screws, they look like Torx/Star.. and are very tiny ?

A tool part number or suggestion of where to purchase the correct tool, would be helpful

The Service manual, c05638816, which is generic to the 13-adxxx laptops, (page 31) shows a different back cover with 2 phillips in the center near the than my actual laptop, and suggest. 

Instructions say:

(2) Four Phillips PM2.0×6.1 screws
(3) Two Torx5 M2.0×3.2 screws

 

The 13t-ad100 back cover is different , but has 4 Star like screws, perhaps Torx, one in each corner, but I cannot seem to find a Torx5 M2.0 tool.

OK Thanks.. that is the manual I have and use...

I think there is a bit of a mis-print. my laptop has only 4 screws one in each corner. plus two hiden under the rubber strip.

The (4) corner screws I have now the right tool.. it is in fact a Torx 5 screw.
