Grip the end of the SSD with the screw hole and slide it out of its socket.

Remove the SSD.

If you're installing a secondary M.2 2230 SSD, remove the 2 mm‑long screw next to the gray thermal pad and follow the same removal procedure.

During reassembly, insert the SSD at a shallow angle into its socket, and hold it flat to the laptop while you reinsert its screw.
