    Great video. Quick question... does it start up faster after the upgrade? Also can you actually video edit. That would be nice.

    Mine got 1TB Hdd with no SSD and my CPU is an i7,
    Which SSD model do you recommend to add in and is it necessary to add the RAM?
    I use my laptop to play Valorant sometimes which is a CPU intensive game but due to my slow hdd i have problems with loading screens and get stuck. That's the only reason i want a little upgrade

    I own an Acer Aspire A615-51G. It came with 8 gb RAM, 2 gb graphic card, 1 tb HDD. I want to add an SSD to it. Is it compulsary to shift windows from the HDD to the SSD?

      There are imaging programs that make it fairly easy. I usually just reinstall and copy my files over by using a sata to usb adapter.

    Hey, I have the same laptop model but my one has 1TB hdd with it. I want add an additional ssd as well so that performance is faster. Do I need to disconnect the hdd from circuit while installing the ssd ?

      If you’re installing windows fresh, you should be able to select which drive you are installing to. You’ll have to recognize it by size, since windows will just list your options as “drive 0, drive 1”, etc. If you’re not 100% sure and don’t want to mess up, you can unplug your existing drive temporarily. Good luck!

    I have a a51-51g-53gc. 8gb but 4gb is soldered on, so a 4gb sodimm is installed. I looked up what I could expand it to but that was years ago and now I'm uncertain. I think it was 20gb max?

    You faced less battery backup after installing ssd in the laptop.

    Is it safe to switch out the RAMs without unplugging the battery? 🤔

    • @FamilyGeekery
      @FamilyGeekery  6 місяців тому

      As long as you don’t short anything out while you’re working in there.

    • @andreidrilea15
      @andreidrilea15 6 місяців тому

      Still, it's better to unplug the battery for whatever you do inside your laptop. Better be safe than sorry

    Do you have to reinstall Windows if you only switch out the RAMs?

    • @FamilyGeekery
      @FamilyGeekery  6 місяців тому

      No. Just a simple swap of chips!

      You probably have to go into the bios menu and activate XMP for your memory.

    Useless laptop. Only one RAM slot is upgradable.

      It's useless if you want to use it for gaming! For a normal day use works fine.
