Hello everyone.
I own an ASUS Vivobook 14 Flip TP470EA with a 256gb SK hynix drive.
Storage space is becoming a challenge, and carrying the hard drive around has been difficult at work.
I’ve researched replacing the SSD and plan to upgrade it with a 970 Evo model.
I’m wondering if this action will void my warranty. I still have roughly three years left on it, and this will be my first time opening it up. If I need to file a claim, can I simply return the old Hynix and send it back?
Thank you for your assistance.
Note - I haven’t swapped the SSD yet.

It would be best to email them inquiring about this issue; their response will act as evidence should you require it later. Alternatively, if the SSD is handled by their own service center, the replacement will be covered under warranty.

This time take it big and aim for a 1TB drive, which is roughly around $100.
And as mentioned earlier, reach out to them.

If there is a trap door to change the ssd then it's a user serviceable part and warranty will remain, of course warranty doesn't cover you screwing something up but if you do everything correctly there will be no issue with warranty.

The warranty for the new drive should belong to the manufacturer, not Asus. All other issues should be covered. I recall MSI had a rule that opening it would cancel the warranty. They used tape seals, and if something was damaged, it would void the warranty.

The warranty stickers are confusing, but taking them off won't cancel your warranty.
Once again, if you cause an issue on your own, that's acceptable.
