How to remove HDD from Medion notebook?

[Crazydre]

Hello, I've got a Notebook called Medion Erazer X7843 and wish to remove ist HDD (I have a 1TB SSD).

Could you please explain step-by step how to do it? What screws to remove for example?

Hey there, Crazydre.

From what it seems you just unscrew the screws from the sides (the ones securing the drive) and pull up the black tag so that the drive pops out. However, I'd strongly suggest that you check a video tutorial on how to do that, or even better go with the laptop's User Manual. You should be able to find detailed instructions on how to upgrade your drive, so that you don't damage anything.

Hope that helps.

The Manual sucks, nothing about removing the HDD or any other parts.

This is pretty unusual. In this case, you can either look it up on the web, to see if there's a video on how to upgrade/change the drive of that said model, or contact the laptop manufacturer's customer support for further instructions.

You could give it a try with what I've said. There should be 4 screws (2 on each side of the drive), unscrew them and pull the black tag. Make sure that you don't unscrew anything that's a part of the drive.
