Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓This guide will show the steps required to replace the M.2 SSD on a Dell XPS 15 9500. The M.2 SSD is used to store data and the operating system on this laptop. You may want to follow this guide if you are having trouble with running out of storage space on your laptop, or if you noticed the storage speeds are getting slow and want to replace it. You may want to wear an anti-static strap but that is optional as it should be fine to do this process without one.
Before you begin this process make sure to completely shut down the laptop. It will require that you take off the bottom panel on the laptop, remove the screw holding the SSD in place, and lift the SSD out of its slot.
