For someone with VERY little experience with electronics, but some minimal soldering/electrical experience how risky is it to try to replace the SSD myself. I have the 64gb and I desperately want to upgrade it to a 1TB. I have no one to help me and I’m terrified of breaking my SD. It looks like I can do it from videos and reading, but from life experience videos and such make things look perfect each step.

With black Friday upcoming I feel that if there’s a sale on the 1TB SSD I “NEED” to do it now or just keep on waiting.

The SD is the first of any PC I’ve used for gaming and doing any upgrades on a PC.

    Just watch as many videos as humanly possible on the process. Take the advice of the YouTubers that are showing you how to get those screws out.

    I would also recommend you watch mine because I don’t cut out the interesting parts. If I struggled with something? I show it and don’t cut it out to make a Goldilocks video. If you can get through these videos and not feel like you’re squirming around too much? I would recommend doing it.
