Use this guide to remove/replace your M.2 SSD drive from your computer.

If you haven't bought a drive yet, and you're not sure whether to get a SATA or NVMe drive, NVMe drives are faster than SATA, but are not supported on all motherboards and are generally more expensive, so check that your motherboard supports your chosen drive.
