For someone with VERY little experience with electronics, but some minimal soldering/electrical experience how risky is it to try to replace the SSD myself. I have the 64gb and I desperately want to upgrade it to a 1TB. I have no one to help me and I’m terrified of breaking my SD. It looks like I can do it from videos and reading, but from life experience videos and such make things look perfect each step.

With black Friday upcoming I feel that if there’s a sale on the 1TB SSD I “NEED” to do it now or just keep on waiting.

The SD is the first of any PC I’ve used for gaming and doing any upgrades on a PC.

    You could post on your local facebook group or Craigslist, shit, I bet a pc repair shop would even do it for $20. Even if they’ve never seen or heard of a deck before, they could see from a 5 minute video it’s a quick job

      I’ve called local places and they are unable to do to policy. I’m not willing to go to a strangers home while they do it for me 😅 or trust a stranger to meet me up and give it back. I like the idea of people helping each other out so much but people suck too much.
