How to UPGRADE a Surface Laptop with a bigger SSD
I'll walk through the steps I've taken on my personal Microsoft Surface Laptop 7th Edition to increase its storage from 512GB to 2TB using an M.2 2230 GEN 4 SSD. If you're looking to do something like this and are a skilled technician, this should save you some time. The SSD upgrade along with the internal NPU will make this a formidable 4K video capture and editing machine with lots of file capacity, which is great as a creator or video editor.
This process works on Surface Laptop 6 and Surface Laptop 7th Edition. The approach is different on Surface Laptop 3, 4, and 5 to disassemble the device, but locating the recovery image and the USB preparation is the same. Surface Pro 7+ and newer devices have an SSD cover panel behind the kickstand and share the same process for locating recovery images and preparing the USB.
