Follow this guide to remove and replace the Solid State Drive (SSD) in your ASUS TUF Gaming F15.

Before you perform this repair, back up your existing SSD if possible. If you’re replacing the SSD where your operating system is installed, familiarize yourself with a disk cloning utility so you’ll be ready to migrate your data to the new SSD.

    • For your safety, discharge the battery below 25% and power down your device before disassembly.

    • Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the 10 screws securing the back cover:

    • Seven 11.6 mm screws

    • Two 14.6 mm screws

    • One 6 mm screw

    • Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the captive screw.

    • Loosening this captive screw will pop up and separate the bottom-right corner of the back cover from the chassis.

    • During reassembly, tighten the captive screw before the rest of the screws.
