This
article is about upgrading the solid-state drive of the Lenovo IdeaPad 730S.
The hardware of other Lenovo notebooks is similarly disassembled. The upgrade
interface of the hard disk needs to be determined according to the specific model.

other components to various notebooks.
Lenovo's
IdeaPad 730S features an aluminum alloy design that is slim and lightweight
with a 13.3-inch display. It's great for those who don't need a touch screen or convertible version. It
comes with an 8th generation Intel Core CPU, up to 16GB of DDR3 memory, and an
NVMe PCIe SSD of up to 256GB of M.2 form factor. You can remove the back panel
of your laptop and use a new SSD if it fits the M.2 form factor and is
compatible with the PCIe NVMe standard.
First,
you need to back up the data on the original hard disk. After you have cloned
the data from the old hard disk, you can continue with the following steps. Be
sure to turn off your notebook before removing the rear panel.
How to replace the IdeaPad 730S hard drive:
1. Use a
screwdriver to remove the nine fasteners on the back panel of the laptop.
2. Open
the bottom plate with a thumb or hoe tool. Start at the corner and carefully
slide along the edges to avoid damaging the panel.
3. Use a
Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the solid fastener, a single fastener of the
M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD.
4. Pull
the old M.2 SSD away from the bracket. It should be relatively easy to extract.
5. Insert
the new M.2 SSD into the slot with the plane facing down.
6.
Tighten the fasteners at the end of the new M.2 SSD section, taking care not to
apply too much force. This ensures that the SSD is in place.
7.
Replace the bottom case of the
IdeaPad 730S by applying pressure around the edges. When the seat is properly
seated, you should hear the panel spring back.
8. Screw
on the nine fasteners on the rear panel.
Here you
have completed the SSD upgrade of Lenovo laptop, if you clone
the old system then your hard disk can start windows and normal use. If not,
you will need to install an operating system for the new hard drive.
