Open the back panel, remove the existing hard drive, and install the SSD. Reassemble the laptop and reinstall the operating system or clone your previous drive.
Ensure the laptop is placed on a hard, flat surface to allow proper ventilation. Clean the air vents and fan using compressed air to remove dust buildup.
