I changed mine last weekend! Turn off and unplug your PS4, slide off the HDD bay cover, remove the screw, swap the drives, and reassemble. Use a USB stick with the system file to reinstall the OS.

It’s simple – just slide off the bay cover, swap the drives, and put the cover back on. Remember to reformat the new drive.
