One of the things you should do while you are in the machine, is also clean out the fans. Looks like there was a bunch of dirt buildup. This is just a way to increase the customer service for a very little amount of effort, and potentially prolong the life of the machine.

Thanks for the great video, simple and to the point! I've had this IdeaPad for over a year now and liking it so far, but slowly running out of Storage (512 GB, Intel i7 11th generation). Do you think that replacing the SSD with a Samsung 970 or 980 Evo with 1 TB of storage would work or could I end up with some compatibility issues?

If you change SSDs you will need to reinstall windows unless you clone the old drive to the new drive
