Product: HP 15-bw032nr
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
Hello! I am trying to upgrade my ram on my laptop and I can’t figure out how to remove the back paneling. I’ve unscrewed everything I could visibly see and nothing feels any looser. I tried to pry it up with only a little force just in case it might break it and nothing happened. I don’t want to use a lot of force unless I know that is the way it is supposed to lift up. I’ve looked for online tutorials and forums and cannot find anything for my certain model or ones with similar paneling. It looks like it is all one big panel. If it isn’t supposed to be removable I wouldn’t understand why there would be screws but whatever. Anyone who responds with help is greatly apreaciated! Thank You!

It's hard isn't it ? There are few hidden screws. Please use page 43 of the following manual

Thank You Soooooo Much!!!! I knew there were at least two screws under the feet in the back from a video I watched but I didn’t think there was one under each foot. HP needs to make their computers more user friendly and accessible. Thank You Again!
