Razer Blade Stealth NVMe M.2 Upgrade
ID: 125483
Description: This is a very simple guide on...
Steps:
- Grab your NVMe ssd you want to add in. Note: There is only one slot so it is recommended you clone to your new ssd before continuing
- To do this, we recommend having a high quality kit on hand, like the ifixit one pictured
- Have a tray to ensure you don't loose track of screws. Remember, some screws inside can be of different lengths.
- TURN OFF THE LAPTOP and make sure you have grounded yourself. This is vital to ensure you don't damage the laptop (Or yourself)
- There are only 10 screws, use the T5 bit to remove them
- After removing the screw lift the bottom plate from the hinge, it will free easily
- Locate stock M.2 drive, read and take note of the yellow sticker
- Roll sticker back (left to right) and stick it to itself so it is out of our way
- Use PH0 driver to puncture sticker and remove SSD screw
- Verify one last time our new SSD has the same form factor as the stock one
- Insert M.2 into the slot at roughly a 30 degree angle in the depicted orientation, do not use force
- Gently press SSD flat against the mother board with a single finger and thread the SSD screw
- Boot into BIOS and verify drive presence
