Product: HP 15-DB0081WM
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I'm trying to replace the hard drive on an older model laptop, model number HP-15-DB0081WM. I've gotten the three screws off of the bottom of the laptop, then I started slowly prying the bottom laptop off of its shell, but it didn't feel like I was doing it correctly. I've replaced hard drives on multiple laptops, but this one feels different. I can't find any tutorial videos online for this particular laptop and it's for a friend's business, so I don't want to go a ahead without knowing I'm doing everything correctly. I feel like I'm missing some screws somewhere, but this particular laptop doesn't have a removable battery, which is really strange, my guess is it's soldered onto the motherboard maybe. Anyways I need to get this done soon as he needs it by early this upcoming week and I'm puzzled as to how to remove the bottom of this thing. Thanks!
