Step 1: Shut down your system

Turn off your computer completely.

Step 2: Remove the power cable and battery

Now remove the power cable and battery. The battery removal step applies only to laptops when it’s possible to remove the battery. To see how to remove the battery, refer to your owner’s manual. 

Step 3: If your laptop has a removable battery, hold the power button for 5 seconds

If the battery has been removed, this will discharge any electricity left in the system.

Step 4: Open the case

How you do this will vary from system to system, so consult your owner’s manual for exact instructions.

Step 5: Ground yourself

Touch an unpainted metal surface to ground yourself. This protects your computer’s components from the static electricity that’s naturally present in your body – grounding is an extra safeguard.

Step 6: Locate the M.2 PCIe slot

This slot is usually easy to find in desktops, but in laptops the location will vary – it’s typically under the bottom panel, or under the keyboard. Refer to your owner’s manual for the exact location, as every system looks slightly different.

Step 7: Insert the SSD

Depending on your computer, there might be a heat sink or screw that needs to be removed prior to inserting your new NVMe PCIe SSD. To insert your Crucial NVMe PCIe SSD, hold the SSD carefully by the sides. Do not touch the gold connector pins. Align the notches in the SSD with the ridges in the PCIe slot, then insert at a 30-degree angle. Do not force the connection.

To secure the drive, it might be necessary to insert the screw into the provided mount on the motherboard. Do not overtighten the screw.

Step 8: Reassemble your system

Turn on your computer, but you’re still using your old drive.

Step 9: Turn on your computer

For laptop installations, reconnect the battery.
