Einleitung
Use this guide to upgrade or replace the M.2 solid-state drive (SSD) in a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 7th Gen laptop. This laptop is only compatible with NVME SSDs, and is therefore not compatible with SATA SSDs.
Before you perform this repair, back up your existing SSD if possible. If you are 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.
Finally, be sure to completely power off and unplug your laptop. Make sure the laptop is not in standby, sleep, or hibernation mode.
