Product: HP ENVY x360 - 15-cn0001la (2020)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
Some time ago I asked if it was possible to add an SSD drive to my HP ENVY x360 - 15-cn0001la (2020) notebook... and the answer was yes and that the slot existed under the heat shield seen in the image (see red arrow) but now I need to know how to remove the heat shield... can anyone help me with this?
Thanks,
John

Hi:
The manual doesn't say how to do that, and this video shows a different arrangement...that the heatshield peels off the drive, and you put it on the new one.
