I just purchased the HP 15-g018dx for my daughter and also ordered an SSD drive to upgrade.

I looked at the bottom of the laptop and it seems like I have to take the entire bottom panel off/out.

Unlike my son's Dell laptop, which has an SSD/Memory bay, I only needed to remove 2 screws to upgrade the hard drive.

Does anyone know of an easier way to upgrade the hard drive on this HP 15-g018dx laptop? Or should I just return it and try to get a Dell?

I really don't want to mess with it too much if I have to remove the entire bottom cover, along with maybe other things.

Thanks much!
