"Sure there’s a way.

…except he should have (1) grounded himself, (2) disconnected the battery and discharged the capacitors before removing the RAM. (And, just to be complete, re-connected the battery after the install).

You will need a bigger nvme m.2 ssd (you didn’t state what size you have), like this

or this

You would also want to clone your existing system to an external USB-connected drive before beginning. I have an m.2 adapter that I use, to clone directly to the new nvme ssd (see below), but you can economize with an external USB enclosure and an old, larger spin drive, that you would then use to clone back to the new drive. If you only use MS Windows, you can use https://www.easeus.com/backup-software/t... to make the cloned image. If you want more flexibility, try clonezilla, but it requires an additional boot medium (like a usb stick) and has a learning curve. https://clonezilla.org/
