MSI Adora24 All-In-One HDD replacement

[The_Traveller]

Guys, I am battling to get to the HDD and swap it to a SSD.

Theres clips all over holding the plate/cover in place. These clips dont easily move out. They lock in place as soon as i move it out with a flat. I dont want to damage anything.

Not a single video on the web to show me how to remove the plate/cover.

Any ideas ?

Does the back cover not slide down slightly releasing the clips like the ag220?

The cover easily comes off, but then theres another one protecting the entire board, and the HDD sits under it as well. There is no access to it any other way.
The memory slot is accessible funny enough, where i added 8GB of ram.

I did that with 2 of them, but then decided to leave it in case I end up damaging the bloody thing. I'll tackle this again when I see the PC going into grandpa mode.

thanks.
