Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

So I want to install a new m.2 ssd onto my laptop, but I can't open the laptop. I have unscrewed all screws and there are none under the rubber supports like in some other models. But when I try to open the casing, it still wont open and I don't want to force it and break something.

 

Is there a manual specifically for this model or does somebody know what's stopping me from opening the casing?

It is OK - After all the screws are removed, you do have to gently pry open the case.

Excerpt:

Remove the base enclosure:

1Position the computer upside down on a flat surface.

2Remove the two Phillips M2.5 × 6.0 screws (1) and the eight Phillips M2.0 × 5.0 screws (2) that secure the base enclosure to the computer.

3Slide a non-marking, non-conductive pry tool around the edge of the base enclosure to loosen it (1), taking care not to damage the internal clips, and then remove the base enclosure (2).
