How to eject 2.5" SSD with caddy from Optical CD-DVD ROM from my hp pavilion 15ac-033tx?

Hello,

          I have hp Pavilion 15-ac033tx notebook. The notebook has 5400 RPM HDD and it was performing slower as it gets newer version of Windows 10. Hence in January 2020, I took the help of a technician to let install a 2.5" SSD in the laptop. And it happened. The performance was quite improved though it was a standard SSD, so not the fastest. As the notebook was purchased in 2015, it has been performing slower on a 5400 RPM HDD while getting upgraded to newer versions of Windows 10 every year.

          The Optical CD-DVD ROM was replaced with SSD with a caddy. Now I want to replace the Optical CD-DVD ROM at its original position by ejecting the SSD with Caddy out. And I want to install the same SSD in my desktop PC. So, here is the question how I can eject the SSD which has been installed in the Optical CD-DVD ROM.

You said you had a technician install the SSD -- then clearly, WE can not tell you how to remove the SSD.  You will need to contact the technician to have that done.

Also, you can not MOVE Windows from one PC to another and expect it to work.  So, while you could connect the SSD to your desktop PC, you can not use the Windows copy on it on that PC.
