I would like to say Thank You to everyone for your thoughtful comments about Cathy. She loved being behind the camera. Cathy passed away suddenly the day before we were going to shoot this Video. It was hard doing it without her. She enjoyed watching the video editing process and seeing ways she could do better. Cathy was a great person, Very giving and loved her family very much. We all miss her dearly. Thank you everyone. Dale
@@CadillacComputerCenter It's very challenging when grieving the loss of a loved one, as it goes without saying, but essential to our healing and experiencing the love we have for our dearly departed.
More people need to be like this, record the whole video without skipping small steps thinking people should just know what to do and be 100% detailed, love this dude, no homo.
This is one of the best "How To" videos I've ever seen on how to upgrade a laptop. Everything on how to update the BIOS, adding the SSD card, actual drive, and memory. Good video and simple instructions. Highly recommend this one.
This video was brilliant! My Nitro 5 was slightly different, only one slot for an NVMe so I put in a SATA instead but I followed your instructions to the letter and it went perfectly. Thank you so much for your clear and concise instructions, and my deepest condolences to the loss of your camera person.
More people need to support Acer for being most upgradeable and repairable laptop. All the parts have QR code to replace parts even the motherboard. Also 2 ram slots, 3 SSD slots makes it a keeper.
Thank you so much for this video! Very informative - I wouldn’t have been able to upgrade my SSD if it weren’t for your help! I’m also very sorry for your loss, may Cathy rest in peace 🕊💖
1TB WD Black arriving tomorrow. Aged 60, I just gotta know what this GTA thing is all about. Ready to go when the SSD comes. Thanks Dale for rummaging around in the innards of this superb machine and showing what goes where. Fortunately my Nitro has been opened many times and the base panel pops off with no bother.
I just followed this procedure to upgrade my new Acer Nitro. Having this super-clear video as a guide made it a breeze. And now I know the name of the plastic case-breaker tool - its a "spudger"! Thanks a million!!!
Salute from India... Beautifully explained... Better than ALL the others I have watched so far, for example nobody tipped about tapping the power button after cutting battery power supply..!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH SIR!!!
Man, you are the ass kicker and life saver of this century with this video. I have a Nitro 5 AN515-57 and I’ve replaced 2 SSDs and put in a 4TB (Kingston Fury, actually doing it right now) and a 2TB SSD and bought the pro version of MiniTool because of how easy it is to use AND how easy it is to do because of your instructions that allow even a tech moron such as myself to perform this task without a single issue. You are the best!
I watched several videos and this is the most helpful! Thank you! And thank you to Cathy as well. She did a great job. Kind of you to dedicate this to her.
I bough this notebook yesterday and it came with 1tb of hard drive and i was wondering how to install nvmi drive and how to change the boot drive. Thank you for this great tutorial video
Fantastic video Dale. Thanks to you I was able to upgrade my Nitro 5 without paying excessive money for labour. Much appreciated bro. Keep up the great work. God bless Kathy. X
Man when I installed new RAM and a new M.2 SSD, I didn't unplug the battery. Surprisingly nothing bad happened. Many months down the line from those upgrades and my Nitro 5 still works perfectly fine.
Great video. I particularly liked the pressing the Power button to discharge capacitors - something often forgotten!. I can confirm that the Acer Nitro5 can take 64gb RAM - I have done upgrades. So sorry for the loss of Cathy😢
All i got to say is WOW!! the best and very clearly explained video ive ever seen. You just earned yourself a new subscriber sir. Thank you and i know im late but my sincere condolences to you and your loved ones. Much love and continue doing what you do.
I just want to say a huge thank you for this video, it helped me install a new SSD and when it's time to add more RAM I'll be referring back to it again. Thanks again, you and your work is very much appreciated 👍🏼
I was having a hard time trying to get this done, the other videos I found didn't cover how you did it in disk management and I got showing up now! Thank you, also sorry to hear about your loss.
So sorry for your loss :( For the past few weeks have been “shopping” for a replacement laptop. As a storage hound this appears to be the best I have found in that respect 2x (m.2) and a 2.5 bay amazing. In my search for more space I’ve found 4tb notebook drives but at 15mm height do you if these will physically fit into this laptop. very complete videos, and I enjoy that they don’t include a dance track.
Thank you for this video, I am a complete novice, but now upgraded to 16 GB ram , 2 tb ssd and have undervolted, next is a repaste of my nitro 5 g5x 1650, all down to you bud
Very clear and thorough process on upgrading the Acer Nitro 5. Will definitely assist me in the coming months for when i upgrade my ram and ssd drives. Thank you
I just got this exact same laptop, but mine has a different GPU. Great to know more about my laptop without actually having to open it up, and was wondering why it came with the SATA cable in the box. Thanks for the video you really know your stuff.
Thank you so much for such a detailed video . I have extreme anxiety and was scared to do upgrades Thanks to your video i now have upgraded my ram and will soon be upgrading NVMe soon 💞 thank you so much
Wonderful video! Helped me install my 16 GB memory. One thing I noticed is that my Nitro 5's innards are arranged a tad different. Where you had two slots (PCI and Sata) I only have Sata. Our sata SSD slots are the same, but the location to slide in the cable is not in the same place (actually, could not even find that "port"). Thanks again
Greetings from Malaysia. This video helps me so much! I dont have to pay extra charge for the labour cost as I can do it by myself after seeing this video. Much appreaciate for you kind sharing 👍👍
I am so grateful for this video it has saved me so much time I have a slightly different model acer and few different parts but the procedure I have to use is identical.
Thank you so very much for this video. You were very thorough in your explanation of the Acer computer's upgrade. I wish you were here in San Francisco. Ca. Your work would be very much appreciated.
Very good instruction video! Others I found just would say "remover the cover snaps" and show like one and then cut to the next step. You showed the whole process. That let me know about how long and what to expect since I saw every step not just a quick clip
Thanks for the video. Used this As a guide to add 2 new 8gb RAM from crucial to make it 16Gb on my older acer nitro 5. Runs a lot better because it only had 1 8gb stick to begin with. Great video!
Thanks so much for this video Dale! Ive watched it several times. I have all the parts to hotrod and freshen up my 2019 Nitro 5 and looking forward to getting into it!
Can someone explain the need for the cloning part at the start? What are the dangers of not doing this??? I just want to add more ram and SSD. Sorry I'm not that clued up!
Because he wanted two 1 TB SSD/m.2 drive instead of the one 256gb (stock) m.2 drive. The clone is only used for operating system, boot up etc. He could have just added the 1TB mb drive and SSD but the customer wanted the free spot open for a future 1TB drive instead of the low storage stock HD. You could just add a new SSD then format it and use it with the existing stock HD which is the simplest solution.
very well presented and useful information. I visited your video because I am going to buy on black-Friday a Acer Nitro 5, but the hard drive is too small .5 tb. So your video was very informative for upgrading which I will do. Yes clone disk used to be a free which I used on a desktop. Still the upgrade doesn't have to be done right away, but am confident I can at a time of my choosing. Appreciate the video. thanks.
@@vishnuravishankar5839 loading times yes they've improved, on the gaming side too with the quick loading times. As far as fps I've seen a small difference but I don't play First Person Shooters, more casual games
hey can i just leave the 237 gb ssd that came with it and add another? i dont wanna do the whole cloning thing and im on a lower budget i just wanna stick a 600gb 2.5 ssd or 1tb in and install will that work like he did in the video if i leave the default one so they both work?
I need to replace the battery on mine. The screen is starting to go bad, I think, so I will replace that at the same time. I will upgrade my RAM and add another HD for storage, too. I am thinking about upgrading the video card. I love my Nitro 5. It has been nearly trouble free. I sure do appreciate your help.
Looking to by one, and knowing, just from your video, that I can up grade, because I was going to buy it for coding and Blender. this outstanding and helpful to what I can buy for the task, thanks again! Stay amazing, UK
Hi. Good question. I've done alot of these, laptop upgrades. It's not always a good idea to add thermal pads in addition to the heat shield from the factory. I take each one on a case by case basis. In some situations I would use pads. Not on this one. I look at the overall picture, such as ventilation holes, proximity to fans, etc. I have not yet had any heat issues. Of course. Desktops are a different story. Lol. Thanks for watching. Dale
I have a acer nitro 5, Acer - Nitro 5 15.6" Laptop - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 - 256GB SSD, and would want to get more ssd, so I was wondering if I already have a open slot would I need to clone the ssd. The other question is what’s a affordable ram needs to be (2x16gb)
Crucial offers great ram sticks for an affordable price. Just make sure it matches the same type of ram you already have. It doesn’t have to be another 8GB stick as long as it’s the same specs
I know this is quite old but ive boughten 2 computers that youve showed us with this being one of them thank you for all that you do not everyone has the skill sets and knowledge that you have so again thank you
Hello sir, at 15:09 looks like the old SSD have a thermal pad on it, while the Adata doesn't at 15:48. Won't this cause a problem with the temperature?
@@rotteneldritch7037 yeah, I have dell inspiron n7110, the charger tip is awful, it broke but they replaced it cause it was 11 days till warranty expiration, I opened it up few times but luckily didn't break anything, it still works, it's 10 years old, I only upgraded from hdd to sdd in it, and it works decently now 😂 But when I go from nitro with nvme to sata3 sdd and other old components which were great at that moment, 2nd gen i7 and nvidia 525m 6gb of ddr3 ram, I just cant stand that kind of speed for anything
I bought the 2020 nitro 5 from bestbuy and I want to upgrade my current 8gb ram to 2 8gb sticks for 16 gb. Are there different size sticks of ram that only some are compatible with laptops? Is there a certain speed or size I need to buy? Plz help
What if after following your instructions my PC takes a very long time to boot up for the first time. ATM sitting about 5 mins waiting for it to do something. Fans and keyboard lights are working. What should I do?
Hi. Well a couple things, make ram is seated properly. Also make sure you are using same speed of ram in both slots, and 1.2 volts. Make sure you have a compatible m.2 nvme ssd. Whenever you change ram, first boot, or post can take a while during ram training.
Thank you for your video I am now going to attempt to upgrade this laptop that I got for my son for Christmas I don't know why but I am so petrified of breaking the laptop by doing this upgrade myself but it's your help I believe it will be possible I will let you know what happens 🙂👌
Awesome video! This video is long but I enjoyed it and it feels like I am only watching a 15 mins video. Awesome awesome my friend! I will leave a LIKE and will subscribe!
Hi, I didn't read all the comments, so I don't know if someone has already written about it, but I noticed that the holder on the side of the second RAM is not properly latched. 13:30
well i got the same laptop in feb but showing me how to change stuff alot easyer then my last laptop as i will be upgrading mine soon good gaming laptop for the money
When upgrading the SSD, couldn't you just loosen the screw in the saddle so the SSD could still be lifted up and out once the anchor screw was removed. It looked like that would allow you to insert the new SSD and then slide the metal sheld into place, screw the SSC down and then re-tighten the saddle.

Thank you for your video I am now going to attempt to upgrade this laptop that I got for my son for Christmas I don't know why but I am so petrified of breaking the laptop by doing this upgrade myself but it's your help I believe it will be possible I will let you know what happens 🙂👌

Hi, I didn't read all the comments, so I don't know if someone has already written about it, but I noticed that the holder on the side of the second RAM is not properly latched. 13:30

I would like to do this with the Nitro I just bought. Just wondering the cost for what was done in this video.
Same
When upgrading the SSD, couldn't you just loosen the screw in the saddle so the SSD could still be lifted up and out once the anchor screw was removed. It looked like that would allow you to insert the new SSD and then slide the metal sheld into place, screw the SSC down and then re-tighten the saddle.
Thanks you mate with your video i didnt break my pc
im about to do the exact same thing to the exact same laptop. Definitely earned a sub
