where can I buy the back panel?

Remove the two 3mm Phillips #1 screws holding the battery to the laptop chassis.

Disconnect the battery from the IO board by holding the connector by the sides and gently pulling the connector out.
The left screw is hidden below a tamper-evident sticker.
There is a plastic channel along the right edge of the battery that has wires running through it to a different board. It works best if the other connector next to the battery connector is unclipped and those wires are taken out of that channel.

Carefully remove the battery from the laptop.
Along the right edge of the battery, there is a channel with wires running to a connector next to the battery connector. It works better to disconnect that connector too and fold the battery to the right.
Re: the above “fold the battery to the right” comment: If all you’re doing is replacing the touchpad, the “fold over” method works as it keeps the wires in the channel. If you’re replacing the battery or whatever those wires connect to, obviously that won’t work.

How to transfer the windows os to the newly install Crucial ssd?
how to transfer the windows OS to the newly install ssd?
Specification for the M.2 SSD: Make sure it’s a Type 2280 (22mm x 80mm) SATA M.2 with B and M key edge connector, not the B key used on NvMe M.2 for PCIe. It’s easy to confuse the two when ordering online.
Your list of t7 screwdriver costed me to order a wrong one.
it should be T5 but the ad listed T7!!!!!
it is frustrating.
