I have seen a lot of users have gotten and upgraded the memory and SSD for their T490, here to share with you the experience of upgrading memory and SSD.
The first thing to do is unscrew the screws that secure the bottom cover, and then insert a thin plastic tool under the bottom cover. The bottom cover has many hidden latches fastening it to the palmrest. You need to move the thin plastic tool along the side and unfasten all latches.
With the bottom cover removed, you can get access to the battery, SSD, CMOS battery, RAM slot, cooling fan, heatsink, and motherboard.

Here’s the WWAN 2242 M.2 slot of the T490. I saw that someone installed a PCIe SSD to this slot, but the system does not recognize it. This is very regrettable.
Of course, this can be solved by updating BIOS. I hope Lenovo will update BIOS to make ThinkPad T490 support 2242 SSD.
