Introduction

This guide shows how to replace the SSD in a Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 1. The solid-state drive (SSD) stores your operating system, applications, and personal files. You may need to replace it if the drive fails or if you want more storage.

Note that the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 1 has a single M.2 2280 NVMe SSD slot, so it does not support installing multiple SSDs.

Before you begin, completely power off the computer and work on a clean, uncluttered surface. Keeping your workspace clear helps prevent accidental damage to internal components and reduces safety risks.

The popping sounds during this process is normal.
Gently remove the bottom panel.
Using too much force can break the plastic clips securing the bottom panel.
