Thanks for the video! Maximum Size and Speed suported for the M.2 NVMe SSD and Maximum Memory / RAM Size (i7 variant)? has someone tried 64 GB DDR4-2400 (2 x 32 GB RAM Sticks)?
32 GB is the upper limit
@@HereticFalconThanks for your answer! Some manufacturers say it can handle 64 GB, if someone has done it, please share...
Great video! I got question-do I need to add thermal paste or is it not needed? Cheers
For M.2 SSD? No need
Very good demo
can you make a video of how to add another ssd bc i dont want to do any of the windows instalation stuff
Can the installed programs from the old SSD be transferred to the newly installed drive with the sleeve /old drive via the USB?
my new ssd m.2 doesnt show up in bios menu, dead end..
Hii i have same laptop currently i has 16gb ram and 2tb hdd and 256gb ssd but i want it upgrade to 32gb ram and 2tb m.2 ssd does it improve its performance. Bcz im using it for editing and gaming but i wanna know is it worth to upgrade it or not . its lagging in editing and loading very slow games . pls reply...
Hi, in your case, yes, 32 GB DDR4-2400 Memory (RAM) will help a lot and as secondary measurement look for the fastest M.2 NVMe SSD (At least 3500 MB/s read). PD: Make sure your games and most used programs are installed in the SSD.
Hello
Using 16GB, you're having issues with video editing? Which software?
@@prashantgupta9288 Nowadays, 16 GB DDR4-2400 (somehow equivalent to 12 GB DDR4-3200) is very low amount of RAM if you want to keep all Apps and Programs open and running properly, not to mention if you use it for video editing and gaming... Even a couple web browsers with some tabs each can easily eat that RAM. Regards!
@@prashantgupta9288 im using davinci and after effects but after upgrading 32gb still feels low
What are the screw sizes? I'm missing three of the thirteen for the bottom plate.
I think it’s m3 if I remember correctly
Can i put a second ssd?
yes, one M.2 NVME and one 2.5" SATA III.
If you just changed the ram would you need to anything software wise or can you just boot up and everything is good? Or in other words are there any other steps you would need to do if just ram?
Upgrading ram is simple. Just install the ram stick and boot it up afterwards. Software thing is required if you're replacing the SSD tho since you'll need a fresh copy of windows OS.
I have a hhd in the sata port. Can I add a nvme and use it for the O.S.? I mean working with the ssd and hdd
Update: I tried what I said and of course it worked, The O.S. start in seconds!!!! Crazy
Of course, and I would repalce the HDD for a 2.5" SATA III SSD with at least 550 MB/s speed. HDD's are so slow (only use them for long term and low use files / media).
Is that how I can update it to latest version of windows?
Upgrading to Windows 11 requires several hardware features enabled. Your best bet is to download Microsoft’s took which checks your computer for compatibility.
