    In this video, I show how to replace the PCIe SSD inside my 2017 Dell XPS 13 (model 9360). I put in a new 500 GB WD Blue SSD, replacing a Hynix 120 GB SSD that the laptop came with.
    In the video, I highlight the most important part of the process to make sure you don't damage the back cover on your laptop-DON'T PRY FROM THE BACK!

    Thanks for the video. Notice however, that the 2018 XPS 13 (at least the developer edition) has two differences. First, it doesn't have the screw in the middle of the case, and second the SSD does not pop up when you remove the little screw. Actually, it's glued with a very weak and gummy glue, so you need to gently pry it up with a fingernail, or something.

      Yep! Still using it for my Windows testing and some light gaming to this day! It is a pretty good laptop, the best Windows-based laptop I've used. I still hate the placement of the webcam though, but newer models don't have that "up nose" problem anymore.

    I don’t recommend upgrading this system. I upgraded my SSD, but it caused a bit of damage opening it. The T5 skrews are very easy to strip. The board flexes a lot when prying it to open and the lid is very tight. I ended up warping a corner where my battery button is which ended up wrecking the device.
