Great video, I just replaced my girlfriend’s HDD to an SSD following your lead. Very easy, no trouble and the best part was the lack of annoying 2 minute intro that most channels have.
good job - could be easier to clone the drive before disassembling - that way you know the new drive works and you can check the internet site of the drive manufacturer from the target system to be sure the new drive works... Lenovo sometimes has goofy system board and I/o drivers to get the most out of the hardware, especially on their laptops,
Oh cool! I have a question! I recently bought this model but with a 1T SSD and 8Gb ram. When I use CPU-Z to check the components it says that there's 2 slots for RAM. One is 4Gb and the second one empty. Why do I have a 4Gb ram and my system, and also the seller say 8Gb??? I'd like to add more ram but now I don't know what to put.... Thanks for helping
@@ApkHeaven okay but why my system shows me 8Gb installed? You mean that there's 4gb integrated and they put an extra 4gb in slot one? Thanks for the answer 😁👍
@@foreverx3057 bro... does it really give you a 20gb ram in this model? Like for real? Haha,. because I thought that the maximum ram that you can upgrade in this model is up to 12gb ram only...
I will not encourage anybody forcefully without experience to do it themselves since i dont take any responsibility for what you do, so if you are not sure its a lot better to give it to somebody with more experience.
@@johnsammuelcalanza6554 you can use a ssd or hdd caddy which is shaped like a cd drive and insert the hdd in it and attach that in the place where the cd drive was and yea it will work
unfortunately it had one ram integrated or soldered in the board and one slot that you can exchange in that one that is free you can add up to 16gb ddr4 of single ram.
So If I would do this would it be as good as a gaming laptop cuz I have the exact same as the one in the vid and it takes an hour to get on so if im going to upgrade it is it even worth it?
I have the same model and it's running quite slow so please recommend a good ssd and a ram Another question, can we change it's processor to i5 , now it's i3 7 th gen?

The mechanical disk drive was very slow.
I’m a big noob in computers and this is my laptop and it’s very slow.... should I get 500gb ssd to speed it up?
yes you should if it has a old version 5400 rpm mechanical hard disk drive.
that would help it a lot.
its a great video
but what i would suggest is get a caddy for ur ssd that way u dont have to remove ur HDD
(nobody uses disk drive anyway)
thanks.
what ram i could use to lenovo 340 gaming? i want upgrade from 8gb to 16? can you recommend anything bro please
Thanks for the tutorial easy to understand. I have a question can I use wd blue nvme m.2 please help me in this issue
Sorry i dont know for sure.
You mention that the CMOS battery and fan are easy to replace. Is this necessary to when changing out the drive?
no its not, but you need to remove the laptop battery before replacing the ram and the disk drive.
@@ApkHeaven is this also important while
adding extra ram?
I'm looking to replace both, recommendations on a ssd and RAM at a reasonable price
I would recommend samsung SSD's and for ram i am not very picky to be honest as long its quality ram and it works it is good enough for me.
@@ApkHeaven very much appreciated, thank you
@@ApkHeaven WHAT A COST OF SSD AND RAM I NEED A 120GB SSD
a cheap SSD can cost around $20.
but for ram you should be more specific.
@@ApkHeaven can I use the RAM of Ideapad 15IKB in 14IKB laptop because there is none available in online currently

The one stick of 4gb ram is integrated or soldered into the motherboard and you can not remove it.
@@ApkHeaven okay but why my system shows me 8Gb installed? You mean that there's 4gb integrated and they put an extra 4gb in slot one? Thanks for the answer 😁👍
@@VMV8622 yeah, basically. Same as mine. I have 4GB integrated, so I just bought 16GB RAM slot. So, my laptop will have 20GB RAM

@@vincepapo5383 no it isn't, the maximum ram is 20gb
Is it worth it do do yourself with little experience, or should I pay a shop in Germany, where I am, 30 euros? thx!

what kind of ssd do you mean ?
and yes it is possible.
@@ApkHeaven how to install and use both ssd and hdd in this unit?
@@johnsammuelcalanza6554 you can use a ssd or hdd caddy which is shaped like a cd drive and insert the hdd in it and attach that in the place where the cd drive was and yea it will work

unfortunately it had one ram integrated or soldered in the board and one slot that you can exchange in that one that is free you can add up to 16gb ddr4 of single ram.
@@ApkHeaven tnx for this info 😊
@@ApkHeaven does it means 20GB ram total?
So If I would do this would it be as good as a gaming laptop cuz I have the exact same as the one in the vid and it takes an hour to get on so if im going to upgrade it is it even worth it?
It will not turn it into a gaming PC but it will be a lot faster.
@@ApkHeaven and also will it turn on faster?
Absolutely
Can we just put the ssd or hdd in dvd drive and not removing the other one?
Yes but the SSD is a lot faster this way since it is sata 3 and the dvd player is using sata 2.
@@ApkHeaven So can we replace the internal with ssd and put the hdd in the dvd drive right?
Actually No you will need SSD or HDD Enclosure DVD Player Caddy adapter or converter for that to work.
It is ok if i will put samsung ssd bro
Yes. I did it in mine. Works great....increase ram as well. Your laptop will be really fast and responsive.
