thanks for putting up this video, really appreciate it, I've been in IT for 25 yrs but I like to research information before I go taking electronics apart :) and for the record Samsung support is hopeless for anyone wanting to call or chat with them. I would also like to say that this video was very well done, excellent job :)
Good idea, maybe I'll do that when will have free time :) Basically, if you need a 1:1 clone, you can use the auto settings of Acronis. It's pretty straightforward, you need to choose the source disk(your old disk) and then the destination disk (new disk). ua-cam.com/video/ZXYBtu_SGs4/v-deo.html Subscribe, thank you :)
Nice tutorial! i have the same laptop as well and wondering how many Gigs of Ram does this laptop support?

I have the same laptop, and..... it's running windows 10. since I game on it. it sometimes slows down...….R.I.P The FPS is 30-50. I tried to increase it, it helped...…well kind of. it boosted it up to 80-90 FPS. later it dropped down to it original FPS rate. hope I get a fully gaming desktop PC. Merry Christmas!!🎄🎄✨

Thank you for an amazing video. I have two questions: 1. Is there a specific SSD that is supported or any would be fine for the Samsung laptop? 2. I did installed windows 10 on this laptop but couldn't find graphic drivers, which one did you use? I own NP 300 E5Z S02IN
Thank you. 1. Yes you can use any 2.5" SSD 2. It was a long time ago, but I think that I used just windows update drivers. (check windows update sometimes there are additional drivers that won't install automatically). Maybe your laptop has a discrete GPU? Sub, thx :)
@@MindaugasJocionis Thank you. Also how do you suggest me to have my data transferred from HDD to SSD.. also i might need to have windows installed again..?
@@raunaqt90 1. Buy a SATA to USB adapter (check links in the video description) and clone your HDD to SSD (with "Acronis" app). 2. If you don't need a DVD you can use its space for an HDD bracket. In that case, all your files will be in the old HDD in the bracket. And you will have to install win 10 from scratch to SSD Or you can mix those options.
Thank you. I assume that you have windows 10 installed with a fast startup enabled. Check this video and you will enter bios from windows 10. ua-cam.com/video/HQXFd0CN4s8/v-deo.html Or disable fast startup ua-cam.com/video/si63YGTHHU4/v-deo.html Then reboot the laptop and at the bottom of the screen will be written what key to press, I don't remember exactly, it's F2 I think :) Subscribe, thank you.

Hi, great video! I wonder if it's possible to put an SSD drive where the hard disk was and then insert the hard disk with a caddy so as to have both in the notebook?

Hi! I like the video. I was wondering what part should I buy for my laptop? It's a bit old (and I can't buy a new one right now) and it somehow lags if there's a lot going in the background. I even deleted unnecessary programs and files, doesn't help. I'm not really techy in hardwares. Mine's similar to this but the model is NP300E4C. TIA!

Thank you for this tutorial. I'm just wondering I have the NP300E4X (A03PH) model and would like to know the max ram for my laptop. Also is it possible to upgrade the CPU??
Officially your laptop supports 8GB, unofficially 16GB. What's the chipset on your laptop? CPU upgrade depends on the chipset (southbridge), sometimes they put in the same laptop model cut down chipset. Especially with Celeron and Pentium onboard (HM70). (Check it with cpuz or aida64) Subscribe, thank you :)
@@MindaugasJocionis I appreciate the response. So that means that I can push the RAM to 16GB if I want to? As for the CPU I'm running B815 processor Sandy Bridge with Socket 988B rPGA HM70. I did a little search and read about the HM70 shutdowns and instead planning to go to the highest processor this laptop can take even though it's not I3 and up. Anything better than the one I have now would make difference. I would love your processor suggestion on that =D Thank and you have my sub man keep it up!

@@MindaugasJocionis The Kingston A400 with 480gb of space. My previous HDD was 500gb and the storage space was enough plus a 1tb SSD was a little out of budget. The SSD plus the installation and clean up cost me around $96 dollars (ARS 5600).

Really useful video!! I have a question so my Samsung is NP300E5X with Dual Core Intel Celeron Cpu 820 1,7 Ghz with 2 GB ram and 500 gb HDD storage, what should I buy to upgrade my notebook? I've already bought a new battery and the rest works really good. I'm using Elementary Os and works great but the only problem when I use 2 or more programs at the same time it starts to lag a lot.. it's really annoying me..thanks in advance for your answer(I've already subscribed)
Thanks for subscription. In first place upgrade RAM to 8GB 2x4GB or 1x8GB (max supported is 16GB, but i don't think you need that much). Then upgrade HDD to SSD (2.5 " SATA interface) to any size you think it's enough for you. Then if you feel that your laptop is still to slow, upgrade CPU to any from this list: www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-Intel_(chipsets)/HM65_Express.html Just enable socket G2 filter (on the right) and do not exceed 35W TDP ( it depends on BIOS what max cpus will support this notebook, it's try and fail method). People say that i5-2450M is supported, maybe this one to try?
Hi, do you need to execute the acronis/ true image part after fitting the new parts? Is it necessary to be able to use the laptop again? Sorry voor my noobquestion 🤗
Acronis is needed for disk cloning (you don't need to install everything from scratch). If you planning to do fresh windows installation, you don't need Acronis at all. Subscribe, thank you :)
hello sir very nice video.i found out that the motherboard can support i5-2450m.Will there be any problems.Also can i change the gpu and i get put a maximum of 8 gb ram right?
You can install 16GB of RAM(2x8). You cannot change GPU it is soldered on motherboard or integrated in CPU (depends on model). As for CPU, socket is compatible. I think there should be no problem for CPU and RAM upgrade. Don't forget to subscribe and write back was the upgrade successful.

Hey there, I have an NP300E7A. It came with an amd A6 which I switched to an A8. I also went fron 4 to 8GB ram. I was having issues with BSD and they still persist, I'm thinking that swapping to SSD should alleviate my issues as I'm getting no fault in non paged area errors and other random errors that lead to restarts. Figured I might as well max out at 16GB ram. Thoughts? Do you think it's gonna fix my Blue screen of death errors. Also if its the HDD causing the errors, if I clone it to the SSD, can I potentially transfer my issues? ( corrupt non deletable files, etc)
If you had this issue before the upgrade I would suggest you check the old RAM module with memtest86. Or just take the out old RAM stick and check if the issue remains. Then check your HDD SMART status, might be there are issues with HDD. And yes, if you clone os with corrupted files, problems can transfer to the new system, I suggesting install OS from the scratch. Subscribe, thank you.
Oh, it was so long time ago. I remember that I upgraded straight from win7, so it should be in legacy mode. I'm even not sure, does this laptop has UEFI. Subscribe, thank you :)
Oh, I see. Probably USB is created for BIOS (MBR) and not the UEFI (GPT). You need to make bootable media with the app -"rufus" and choose partition scheme GPT and target system non-CSM. Or do an upgrade from 7 to10, after that convert your system HDD from MBR to GPT disk without data loss (check youtube there is a bunch of videos on how to do that from command line), and switch in bios to UEFI. Sometimes you need to reboot the laptop twice as a USB stick may not be initialized fast enough. Hope this will help.

So you have pentium B950 onboard, then yes, it should be fine to upgrade to i3, bios should support this cpu, as they produced this laptop with pentium B950 and i3-2310M; 2330M; 2350M. As for ssd - if you change disk you will not loose license. Don't forget to subscribe thx :)

Thx for sub. In the first place check cable that comes from motherboard to screen it might be damaged, check the place on the hinge where it moves most. If the screen starts to flicker when you move the cable, then it's cable fault. Just after this, I consider changing the screen. It might be inverter or backlight.

Это не мой ноутбук, я его давно отдал... А вы SSD вместо HDD или DVD вставлял? Иногда DVD работает в режиме SATA2. даже если ваш SSD работает в режиме SATA2, скорость все равно будет ощущаться из-за меньшего времени отклика при чтении небольших файлов. Распишитесь, спасибо :)

Весь интернет перерыл, решения не нашел, кроме одного варианта, где человек сам перепрошил bios и добавил в него эту пропавшую функцию выбора Sata gen. 3.

Officially your laptop supports 8GB, unofficially 16GB. What's the chipset on your laptop? CPU upgrade depends on the chipset (southbridge), sometimes they put in the same laptop model cut down chipset. Especially with Celeron and Pentium onboard (HM70). (Check it with cpuz or aida64)

The acronis software that you use for cloning the drive is free? or I need to purchase a license? Thanks
Its free with some ssd's. And if i remember correct it's free for 30 days for simple tasks like drive cloning. Subscribe, thx.
I have the same Samsung and it has in stock a 4gb ram 10600s ddr3 , my question is, a one 8gb ram ddr3 1600 mhz could work in this pc? Sorry for my bad english.
Chipset supports 16GB of ram, so theoretically it should work. Samsung officially supports only 8GB, so you need to try at your own risk, who knows what they did with motherboard :)

Check the chipset, if it's HM65 (check it with cpuz or aida64), then you can upgrade.
This is the list of CPU's the supports this chipset: www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-Intel_(chipsets)/HM65_Express.html

Which ram i should buy ,tell specification please
i have no knowledge about this
You can use any ddr3L (just make sure that it is with L letter L=low voltage 1.35V) If it will bee faster than your old ram, then ram will run at slowest stick speeds. I beliewe that max capacity for one slot is 8GB. So if you need one 4GB stick you can use somthink like eu.crucial.com/eur/en/np300e5a-a05us/CT3509205

Hey there,
I have an NP300E7A. It came with an amd A6 which I switched to an A8. I also went fron 4 to 8GB ram. I was having issues with BSD and they still persist, I'm thinking that swapping to SSD should alleviate my issues as I'm getting no fault in non paged area errors and other random errors that lead to restarts. Figured I might as well max out at 16GB ram. Thoughts? Do you think it's gonna fix my Blue screen of death errors. Also if its the HDD causing the errors, if I clone it to the SSD, can I potentially transfer my issues? ( corrupt non deletable files, etc)
If you had this issue before the upgrade I would suggest you check the old RAM module with memtest86. Or just take the out old RAM stick and check if the issue remains. Then check your HDD SMART status, might be there are issues with HDD.
And yes, if you clone os with corrupted files, problems can transfer to the new system, I suggesting install OS from the scratch.

How did you install windows 10..? uefi - legacy ?
Oh, it was so long time ago. I remember that I upgraded straight from win7, so it should be in legacy mode. I'm even not sure, does this laptop has UEFI.
Subscribe, thank you :)
@@MindaugasJocionis Yeah..uefi
there is but
i am not install
I can not usb with boot
Oh, I see.
Probably USB is created for BIOS (MBR) and not the UEFI (GPT). You need to make bootable media with the app -"rufus" and choose partition scheme GPT and target system non-CSM.
Or do an upgrade from 7 to10, after that convert your system HDD from MBR to GPT disk without data loss (check youtube there is a bunch of videos on how to do that from command line), and switch in bios to UEFI.
Sometimes you need to reboot the laptop twice as a USB stick may not be initialized fast enough.
Hope this will help.
