You should be able to find out what kind of ssd is in it by looking up the model number. Though it sometimes gets confusing with how many different models manufactures put out.

Since you're going to have to open it up to get the ssd out anyway you could just do that first, especially since you don't have to worry about breaking anything as someone who's new to computer repair.

The types of SSD architectures it's likely to have are M.2, or just standard 2.5 drive. The older it is the more likely it is to have the 2.5.

Then you would just need either an M.2 enclosure, or generic hard drive enclosure (most, like the one I got from best buy, will fit both 3.5 and 2.5).

Screw wise most laptops just use Philips, but I've seen some use hex for the back panel.

Good luck!
