INSTALLING AN 2.5" SATA SSD ON A LAPTOP PC

BEFORE INSTALLATION

Exterior view of a HP laptop with a small Sony brand card and cable (no visible text or symbols on the device body)

1. GATHER THE THINGS YOU'LL NEED

PC, Phillips screwdriver, and ADATA 2.5" SATA SSD

*Please use a standard Phillips screwdriver (3.5mm) for disassembling the case.

Make sure to backup the important data on your PC to an external device, such as an external HDD, before starting installation.

After backing up your data, power off your PC to avoid data loss or damage to other components during installation.

This action is necessary to discharge residual power that can damage your PC and its components.

*The battery removal step applies only to laptops when it's possible to remove the battery. To see how to remove the battery, refer to your user manual.
