Microsoft Surface Pro 8 SSD Replacement
ID: 218638
Description: Need to replace or swap the SSD in your Surface...
Steps:
- Power down the Surface device fully before doing anything.
- With the screen face down, move the kickstand as far back as it will go.
- Look for the access cover, to the left of the Microsoft logo.
- Use a SIM Tool to push in the pin. The cover will pop up, and then you can remove it.
- Use a T3 Torx screwdriver and carefully remove the screw (highlighted in blue) holding the SSD into place. Put it somewhere safe for reuse.
- Magnetic bits are your friend for this!
- Once the screw is out, remove the SSD by gently pulling on it.
- Do not push up on the SSD. This can cause the connector to break.
