Remove the 10 PH00 screws from the back of the laptop
Do not try to remove them, they are captive screws
To separate the backplate from the rest of the laptop, there are two options
1. Use an opening pick and insert it, and try to gently open the laptop with that
2. Use your fingernails (not recommeded, it tried it before)
Locate the battery connector and carefully disconnect it

Remove the PH00 screw locking the slot
Make sure the 4 pin side is on the left (in yellow), and the 5 pin side is on the right (in red)
If it isn't in the right side, you can damage your laptop and/or your SSD, so be carefull
Then insert the SSD, keep the orientation from before and don't forget to place the screw (2nd picture)
