How do I remove these things?

I'm trying to upgrade the storage for my laptop but these things have got me stumped. They look like rivets or some kind of stamped screws and I don't know how to remove them.

Kylemngh, those are just stickers covering the actual screws. Apparently they're glued down pretty well, so you either have to scrape them off or just puncture through them with what the video I saw claimed was a T5 screwdriver. The first couple of minutes of this video will show you about them.

Hopefully that'll get you going.
