Friend, I tried to remove the cover after removing all the screws, but it seemed to be locked.

You need to carefully pry the bottom cover with something thin like a plastic pryer.

My Y700 has two harddrives. Is this the instructions for the primary hard drive or the secondary?

Sebastian Szymański - Jan 6, 2020

It’s possible that the second drive is a M.2 drive. Both can be either. It’s suggested to use the faster drive for the system and the slower one for storage.

Would Samsung 1TB SSD 860 EVO work for the HDD replacement ?
