Introduction
Use this guide to replace the SSD on your Lenovo ThinkPad T15 Gen 2.
Before you perform this repair, if at all possible, back up your existing SSD. If you are replacing the SSD where your operating system is installed, familiarize yourself with a disk cloning utility so you’ll be ready to migrate your data to the new SSD.
Be sure to completely power off and unplug your laptop. Make sure the laptop is not in standby, sleep, or hibernation mode.
