Lift the M.2 SSD slightly, creating a 15-25 degree angle between the SSD and the rest of the motherboard.

Slowly pull the M.2 SSD out. Apply a gentle force that is in line with the orientation of the SSD.

Do not attempt to lift the M.2 SSD more than it will go. Applying too much pressure may harm the M.2 SSD or the socket for the SSD.
