Could you please do an installation of the m.2 drive? Also, do you have recommendations for ram for this model so that I can upgrade it?

m.2 are very easy to replace there is only one screw that holds it and once you remove it, it will come out in an 45angle, and in the same way goes in. just like ram stick. prnt.sc/y8o6o1

Hi, I recently tried to upgrade from the HDD to SSD. I installed the SSD and installed the Windows 10 OS. But, after a restart the cooling fan stared continuously unstable, I tried the SSD with win7 also, but he fan speed and noise continued. I had to go back to the HDD. Can you pls help me with any solution for this fan noise issue with SSD ?

Can I install the SSD only (not the mSATA)? Also what are the benefits if I install both?
@uFixTek
@uFixTek 4 жыл бұрын
yes you can just remove everything and only istall any ssd 2.5" amzn.to/38x2vT2 or have both on ssd , it better to have all SSDs, the best configuration would be as follows: have your windows OS on m.2 ssd and install a ssd 2.5 instead of the mechanical *much faster , for your applications and games this was the windows wont have any bottleneck on the speed and it will be 4x faster when using applications. if you have your os and files on the same drive (ssd or mechanical) it will be slower because the windows and your apps / games have to share the same sata speed. therefore have os on m.2 and apps/ games on ssd and use your mechanical hdd as external storage.

Thank you! for the feedback and your support to the channel by SUB :P SORRY for late reply, regarding your questions: you have two options for SSD or HDD upgrade: #1, if you want to keep all the stuff programs and files the way they are, then you will need to get the sata to usb adapter and plug your new ssd/hdd using the adapter to your laptop and download a Macrium Reflect software, to clone the main drive to the one connected via usb and then once cloned then replace and you are set. amzn.to/3ecYRCu #2. reinstall windows from start, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q6qla81j0auRlIE.html to install via usb is the same as Toshiba to boot to usb its F12 on startup kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m9hhiLuZzsuXk3U.html

@@matt-attack9609 if you want to upgrade the HDD to SSD you will have to install windows on the new ssd or clone it from old hdd. there is no update that can do this for you. THE best solution is to fresh install windows it take 10min and its very recommended. or you can keep your HDD and install msata ssd and then again you will need to install the OS on the msata and use your HDD as 2ndry storage.

There is no M.2 drive connection. There is a MSATA port, the 2.5" where the HDD is from factory, or you can put another 2.5" SATA drive where the Optical Drive (DVD) is located with a caddy tray upgrade. So you can use : 1. MSATA SSD 2. 2.5" SATA SSD The MSATA is a simple fast swap without removing anything unless there was a small caching msata drive from the factory. Any 2.5" SATA SSD will be the right dimensions to replace the HDD from factory.
