I need to remove or replace the ssd drive in my laptop. I bought a 1tb sata 2.5 drive for it but I don't know where the ssd drive is located. I have looked at some videos and none that I have seen so far have shown me anything that I am looking for. I have had three keyboard off and started to remove the. Main board but stopped cause I want to make sure I'm doing it right. Any help is appreciated.

Are the parts there to add a 2.5" SSD?
Normally they are not there unless the notebook came with a 2.5" drive from the factory.
The product specs for your notebook indicate that it comes with a M.2 NVMe SSD which is about the size of a stick of chewing gum.

You should have bought a 1 TB NVMe SSD like this, which is about 5x faster than a SATA SSD is.
See chapter 5, starting on page 45 for the M.2 SSD removal and replacement procedure.

Chapter 5 in the manual? I don't have a manual but I guess I can.look at the 1 on line. It has a spot in the case where the drive will fit and a plug for the cable to. I just need to know how to get the ssd out cause everything I start it up it tries to but then the blue screen will pop up. I let it start over and over and it's the blue screen everything. I.just need to remove the ssd drive.
