You need to carefully pry the bottom cover with something thin like a plastic pryer.

My Y700 has two harddrives. Is this the instructions for the primary hard drive or the secondary?

klobpries - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

It’s possible that the second drive is a M.2 drive. Both can be either. It’s suggested to use the faster drive for the system and the slower one for storage.

Sebastian Szymański -

Would Samsung 1TB SSD 860 EVO work for the HDD replacement ?
