Microsoft Surface Pro 8 SSD Replacement

ID: 218638

Description: Need to replace or swap the SSD in your Surface...

Steps:

1. Power down the Surface device fully before doing anything.
2. With the screen face down, move the kickstand as far back as it will go.
3. Look for the access cover, to the left of the Microsoft logo.
4. Use a SIM Tool to push in the pin. The cover will pop up, and then you can remove it.

5. Use a T3 Torx screwdriver and carefully remove the screw (highlighted in blue) holding the SSD into place. Put it somewhere safe for reuse.
6. Magnetic bits are your friend for this!

7. Once the screw is out, remove the SSD by gently pulling on it.
8. Do not push up on the SSD. This can cause the connector to break.
