Introduzione
The Surface Pro 4 comes equipped with an M.2 Samsung SSD. Here's how to replace it if it fails or if you want to upgrade.
-
-
If your display is cracked, cover it with strips of packing tape to contain any glass shards and prevent injury.
-
-
-
To remove the display, first soften the adhesive by applying heat. You can use a heat pad, heat gun, or iOpener. In a pinch, a hair dryer can also work.
-
Steadily and evenly heat the perimeter of the display until it's too hot to touch, and try to maintain that temperature for several minutes—but don't overheat it, or you may damage the display.
-
-
-
Use a suction cup or an iSclack to pull up on the glass and create a slight gap between the glass and the metal frame.
-
Insert an opening pick into the gap.
-
There are tabs on the upper right side and upper left side where it is easier to get a tool under the display.
-
Slide an opening pick around the sides and bottom of the display to cut the adhesive. Apply more heat as needed.
-
Separate the top edge last. There are antennas on both sides, so be careful not to damage them. If needed, you can use a bit of isopropyl alcohol to help weaken the adhesive.
-
-
-
The display should now be free of the body of the Surface Pro. Lift it up and away from the rest of the device.
-
-
-
Use a blue plastic opening tool to pry around the edges of the metal shield covering the SSD drive.
-
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Can you add more SSD to the SP4??
I would love to upgrade my storage while repairing my broken screen, does anyone know of which sdd would be compatible with my i7 8gb ram 256ssd right now? Does it have to be a samsung ssd or are there other options. Fairly new to computer repair here so would love some experienced advice thanks !
I would prefer a 1TB if possible but would settle for a 512 also.
@bthorne As long as it's the same connection (not sure, but maybe you should look for NVMe M.2 SSD) it should work without problems. You should run a quick search on the internet to check if anyone has found some sort of "blacklisted" parts (some vendors such as Lenovo used to place some code in their firmware which would prevent the computer from booting with a "unauthorized" wireless card for example.).
However I think this is not the case with the Surface Pro 4 or the world would be at rage right now. Just look for any size NVMe M.2 SSD you think it would be fit (if you can afford, look for performance models such as Samsung PRO, there's a huge difference from the cheaper ones.). Hope it helps!
