As we have properly understood your issue you want to replace your hard disk in your laptop for this please follow these steps:
- Turn the computer off and remove the back panel.
- Look for any screws securing your drive to the laptop.
- Lift the old drive up about 30 or 45 degrees and pull it out.
- In its place, install the SSD and put the back panel on.

Thank you for the quick answer, but the big question is with the HP Notebook – 17-Y006NG how do i get the back panel off.
I removed every screw on the back of the laptop. Then removed the DVD drive. But then the complete back does not even move and i dont want to break stuff. So i thought there must be a trick to get this thing open.
