Introdução
This is an M.2 SSD replacement guide for the HP ProBook x360 G3 EE, the model number is 6FB28LA#ACH. Your M.2 hard drive is basically the heart and soul to your laptop. It stores your operating system, programs, and files! Without this, we would all lose everything we program to our device for everyday use. This ensures you have long-lasting access to any changes that you've made to your personal device.
Some reasons you may need to replace the M.2 SSD are it's out of storage space, like 64GB or 128 GB that the laptop originally came with, or it could just be slow! As more updates occur and more apps and files get downloaded, these GB run out quickly, and can also effect the quickness of which these are saved. Follow these steps to quickly and efficiently switch your M.2 hard drive out.
Warning: Do not under any circumstance preform this replacement while connected to power, or without adult supervision.
