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.

  7. Magnetic bits are your friend for this!
