I have a T460, very similar. A few points missing here… It’s imperative to take out the battery first. Most other tutorials mention disabling the internal battery in the BIOS before starting the process. Then screws don’t come out, they stay attached, which is very nice but better if you expect it. And one of them is right under the battery. The 460 has 2 memory slots, and they’re both functional. I had to swap my 4G card to the second slot, and put the 8G one in to replace it, I don’t know whether that’s mandatory or it was just bad seating initially.
