Product: Pavilion Notebook e078ea
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

hi. I'm trying to upgrade the hard drive of my old HP Pavillion laptop Notebook e078ea but I can't find any manual or videos online. the is one screw under the battery bay that won't come off. I'm unsure if it is holding the disk drive in place because I cant seem to get that out either. the screw seems to stop a certain distance out of the hole. Any manuals or help would be appreciated. Thanks
