want you to do the same with your surface in any way, and I'm not
responsible if you try to do the same. </b></u></span><br />
<br />
Let me say first, that I live in México City, and my english is pretty bad, so, I recommend you go through all the photos first.<br />
<br />
If you prefer to read the whole history, lets start!<br />
<br />
I bought a Surface Pro 3 with i7 processor and 256 GB SSD on Amazon for 1,340 USD (before Microsoft cut 100 on original price), without keyboard neither pen, and plan to upgrade it to 1TB!!.<br />
<br />
I was looking for someone that has succesfully open a Surface Pro 3. Unfortunately I find no one, <a href="https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Microsoft+Surface+Pro+3+Teardown/26595" target="_blank">IFixIt can made it</a>, but with a big crack in the screen, <a href="http://www.cnet.com/news/surface-pro-3-teardown-reveals-fragile-glass-redesigned-interior/" target="_blank">CNET do the same</a>. I find a great idea in a <a href="http://gladreview.com/how-to-upgrade-surface-pro-3-storage-to-1t-msata-ssd/" target="_blank">little post</a>. At first it looks easy, but believe me, you must have the right tools and patience, a lot of patience.<br />
<br />
First I grab an image of the inside of the <a href="http://cnet2.cbsistatic.com/hub/i/r/2014/06/27/69829991-199b-4cfd-9311-af9b017042eb/resize/770x578/b85de941442f091cd4ff998b94535b86/surfacepro3teardown089.png%22%20class=%22%22%20alt=%22surfacepro3teardown089.png%22%20data-original=%22%20%20%20%20http://cnet2.cbsistatic.com/hub/i/r/2014/06/27/69829991-199b-4cfd-9311-af9b017042eb/resize/770x578/b85de941442f091cd4ff998b94535b86/surfacepro3teardown089.png" target="_blank">Surface Pro 3</a>, then, using Power Point, I print it closer to the real size, the image have a low resolution, but you can see very clear where is the msata SSD.<br />
<br />

<br />
And make the marks to cut a "window" to the SSD.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKp5VZVeSUYX9s4BixBszGJ_KtfRETyZPGOfrWNRjvjzWwd6x8noLOitA42KgWslIDT1I7VZN70G6UPU9Wv-3QxMh5Gr4CgAJHgqwTjgDFVulcdeV2IEul1qEkj7k4sR-OoQ-nqoFSuBR9/s1600/DSC08832.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKp5VZVeSUYX9s4BixBszGJ_KtfRETyZPGOfrWNRjvjzWwd6x8noLOitA42KgWslIDT1I7VZN70G6UPU9Wv-3QxMh5Gr4CgAJHgqwTjgDFVulcdeV2IEul1qEkj7k4sR-OoQ-nqoFSuBR9/s1600/DSC08832.JPG" height="425" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
From the beginning, I consider 3 things, first, it will be very dificult to make a perfect cut, second, surely the material of the "window" will end in the trash (or in a nice key chain), and third, I must consider to make a little square inside the "window" cut, in order to avoid the screw attached to the back of the Surface.<br />
<br />
My cut tool was a Dremel, with the stand to make it a drill.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2RS3Qewy12O761kX79xkH9kGBSEh2heTfOVPUTTgzjdKtKJwyPJbUy7L8MurHbZ7-rN63AQNVOj7QsN51njE7gGPsUvS9BZqaXau5R_xExBKuhZmYL1lOffXGjOAriki1mYl0cTcP-pZQ/s1600/DSC08833.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2RS3Qewy12O761kX79xkH9kGBSEh2heTfOVPUTTgzjdKtKJwyPJbUy7L8MurHbZ7-rN63AQNVOj7QsN51njE7gGPsUvS9BZqaXau5R_xExBKuhZmYL1lOffXGjOAriki1mYl0cTcP-pZQ/s1600/DSC08833.JPG" height="640" width="425" /></a></div>
<br />
I start to make the cut with a medium-hard tip, I have the wrong conception that VaporMG (the material of the Surface Pro case is made of) was metal over plastic, but is all metal!!<br />
<br />
The first cutting tip that I try, was only capable of make a medium scratch.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdwVGEX-mb-rPV26vsW9hJkyYUN6HQHrX-11IP2oqjCMNJJ9Euw9SzqxTuOIK5jQEvfUV_xyEAlsd5D1Q-4E0zflHzresWHsiP78ClBx7riwQk7T5Cp7cbfEdqg9mKDjDlsJwBZfYKRs3T/s1600/DSC08835.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdwVGEX-mb-rPV26vsW9hJkyYUN6HQHrX-11IP2oqjCMNJJ9Euw9SzqxTuOIK5jQEvfUV_xyEAlsd5D1Q-4E0zflHzresWHsiP78ClBx7riwQk7T5Cp7cbfEdqg9mKDjDlsJwBZfYKRs3T/s1600/DSC08835.JPG" height="425" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
So, I try another 2 tips, until realize that this metal need a really bad-ass cutting tip, a tungsten carbide cutter tip, its the first from right to left.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMj8rsFiR4HJbZxgRwt3BA5NqJ9hhz__Nr1kbteM3Aawx_hRXFbYS_FQApAHnCNahnFVj2WmKmIUUcf9f41wT3YLx8zxlY4E-gkssiBsTpCnTcwGVbv7aKCZ1cgxIMD3Q2hPABU-GNWkUw/s1600/DSC08836.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMj8rsFiR4HJbZxgRwt3BA5NqJ9hhz__Nr1kbteM3Aawx_hRXFbYS_FQApAHnCNahnFVj2WmKmIUUcf9f41wT3YLx8zxlY4E-gkssiBsTpCnTcwGVbv7aKCZ1cgxIMD3Q2hPABU-GNWkUw/s1600/DSC08836.JPG" height="425" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
This tungsten tip cut the VaporMG like if it was wood, it took me a little to control the cut.<br />

<br />
At the end, the window was not perfect, but was in the right place.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLvJ2RrsTn6quQNYvKWxe_mOWDTu6IMfIEv8yvWEb6zqc2jR7lPDZoS-E7OeoeuH-JZy6ABf-_Z3VP1uQyyJR6ZAHj3_EPHjLERvcQORkOR2n13oM5kk5HMv0KatrCJi7R4YTXABBkC13y/s1600/DSC08856.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLvJ2RrsTn6quQNYvKWxe_mOWDTu6IMfIEv8yvWEb6zqc2jR7lPDZoS-E7OeoeuH-JZy6ABf-_Z3VP1uQyyJR6ZAHj3_EPHjLERvcQORkOR2n13oM5kk5HMv0KatrCJi7R4YTXABBkC13y/s1600/DSC08856.JPG" height="425" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
At this point, some of my worst fears of this upgrade come to me, so I check if the Surface still boot.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie-ocIwt4W4tPJNUtZR4PzW1YTfOCEiOHyrxSKB5JTCce1h_0hertcH84dwnihVTDeVjE_KA_zJCsvyLEkVDt4kQwxN4YI9llZbm9t8i9ezIi_jrtqL0oYrUnwNTxUSqFe5hAFL01TDL3b/s1600/DSC08859.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie-ocIwt4W4tPJNUtZR4PzW1YTfOCEiOHyrxSKB5JTCce1h_0hertcH84dwnihVTDeVjE_KA_zJCsvyLEkVDt4kQwxN4YI9llZbm9t8i9ezIi_jrtqL0oYrUnwNTxUSqFe5hAFL01TDL3b/s1600/DSC08859.JPG" height="425" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Ok, looks good, the next part is to take off the "window", using a wood tip, and a metal key from the dremel.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM_AlowebBafu73d_bZ6x-rQMmtLnr5l0KtVu8WAO8V1VemSUchHVi1A6bKwQgAFlzNS0YOBto6nIx-cyxxLfgaYnHFgJ_Nmwbf6jSpj7a3C0gGwPRPpAZhKYXQfWmy-BNWozqVTXvIefw/s1600/DSC08860.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM_AlowebBafu73d_bZ6x-rQMmtLnr5l0KtVu8WAO8V1VemSUchHVi1A6bKwQgAFlzNS0YOBto6nIx-cyxxLfgaYnHFgJ_Nmwbf6jSpj7a3C0gGwPRPpAZhKYXQfWmy-BNWozqVTXvIefw/s1600/DSC08860.JPG" height="425" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
After a little effort, I finally get the "window"off, except for the little square that was attached to me SSD with a screw. <br />

<br />
Taking off the little insulating tape, and using my dremel with a normal cutting tip, carefully separate the support of the second screw of the SSD.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixYc0zRgFy79GN7e3Oak4JEYJPhH2UvNLw5THz9uHGY_IAKQJgDiSqRG1gwK9IfGwqcNUwiC4kKFFsn-YPiowlwdnRwREK6-HlHOkYvGJBL63TGJfv-CiOIVF56f9Ck1XNKhQdavXArUGK/s1600/DSC08877.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixYc0zRgFy79GN7e3Oak4JEYJPhH2UvNLw5THz9uHGY_IAKQJgDiSqRG1gwK9IfGwqcNUwiC4kKFFsn-YPiowlwdnRwREK6-HlHOkYvGJBL63TGJfv-CiOIVF56f9Ck1XNKhQdavXArUGK/s1600/DSC08877.JPG" height="425" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
This cut was really easy, and fortunately I can take the SSD a little up, the black part in the "window" close to the windows logo is the battery, and I dont even have to move it, or touch it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And finally, the SSD is out, with the 2 screws untouched.<br />

I bought an Samsung 840 EVO 1TB msata SSD on ebay for 400 USD, the next step it´s clone the SSD. <br />

I use a msata to sata adapter in order to have a "common" interface for clone the SSD.<br />

Cloning windows 8 with UEFI is a little bit hard, I try 3 options but the one that works perfect was using a cloning station, I have to use a normal hard drive to make a temporary image, because I only have one msata to sata adapter. The path was 256SSD ---> 320HDD ---> 1024SSD. <br />

Finally I get windows working with the new SSD, expanding the windows partition with AOMEI Partition Asistant.<br />

The last step was cover the back of the surface, using cardboard, a little piece of foam and an avery decal, I made a simple decal, and now nobody see the "window", that remains there, ready to get a upgrade when 2TB SSD´s arrive to the market.<br />
