Product: HP Pavilion 15-dy1071wm
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I am trying to add some more RAM to my computer, but I can't seem to figure out how to open it up to be able to put the RAM sticks in the slots... I've tried looking up videos on how to do it, but they are for older versions of the HP Pavilion...

 

There are two screws on the bottom, but when I take them out, I see no way to remove the bottom panel or the top... I also don't want to try too hard, because this is a new laptop, and I don't want to break it...

 

Does anybody know of a video or a tutorial with pictures? Or can someone provide pictures and instructions on how to remove the panel to be able to do my RAM upgrades?

Thank you!

In addition to the 2 screws you can see, there are screws under the rubber strips. This guy in the video does a nice job.
