Einleitung

If you are running out of storage space on your laptop, you can either transfer files to an external storage device or follow this guide to replace and upgrade your solid-state drive. Before you do so, check how much storage space you have on your laptop, which will help you decide if you need to upgrade the SSD or not. The Lenovo X1 ThinkPad Yoga 2nd Generation comes with a 256 GB SSD, so you have the option to upgrade to a 512 GB or 1 TB SSD.

Additionally, back up your SSD before you replace it so you do not lose any data. These instructions can also be followed to simply transfer files to an external storage device.

    • Ensure the laptop is powered off and the charging cable is disconnected before opening the back cover.

    • Use a Phillips #0 screwdriver to remove the eight 8 mm screws.

    More pricesely, screws need to be unscrewed, but not removed, since they stay attached to the back cover. Trying to remove them may damage the small gaskets around the screw shaft.

    Good solution, but where do I find the battery?
