I screwed up my 3511 by uninstalling Maxxaudio, then trying to fix that by re-installing Windows 11 - which went into an eternal error loop. The girl at the shop said "I have seen this' (!). But she could not re-start with a combination of key presses I was not aware of. When it comes back I may revisit this video. With a virgin hard disk, loading Win11 should work. I like your detailed demonstration of how to open the machine without breaking the case.

Glad it helped. Yes, according to the specs sheets if you have a model with NVIDIA graphics it runs the RAM at DDR4-3200 - we don't get these here in the UK however. I always fit DDR4-3200 modules anyway as they are what I keep in stock as there is little to no cost difference between these and 2666 modules.

James, thank you for posting this detailed video about the Inspiron 15 - 3511. I've always had this question about replacing the PCIe 3.0 NVMe M.2 2280 SSD HD. If I remove the original SSD and I install a 1TB NVMe M.2 like you did, do I have to do anything with the Windows OS? Where is the OS installed then? How do I get the data from the SSD I am removing back to the new HD? In addition to that, I also have a question on how do I know how much RAM I can install in my laptop? I've read about people saying it can do up to 32 GB RAM @ 3200MHz ( or 2666MHz ) SODIMM, but my laptop specs says it's limited to 16GB. Does it have to do with the Windows OS running? For example, if it's 64-Bit can it then be upgraded to 32GB RAM? Please let me know.
@BrueComputing

If I remove the original SSD and I install a 1TB NVMe M.2 like you did, do I have to do anything with the Windows OS? Where is the OS installed then? - You need to either clone the install across or just do a clean install on to it. 've read about people saying it can do up to 32 GB RAM @ 3200MHz ( or 2666MHz ) SODIMM, but my laptop specs says it's limited to 16GB. - Dell only sold it with up to 16GB (2 x 8GB), but 32GB (2 x 16GB) should work fine. For example, if it's 64-Bit can it then be upgraded to 32GB RAM? Please let me know. - 32-bit has a maximum of 4GB addressable. For 64-bit its in theory 18.4 exabytes. In reality Windows 11 Home is limited to 128GB maximum, Windows 11 Pro is 2TB and Windows 11 Pro for Workstations allows up to 6TB.

So, technically, I can upgrade my RAM to 32GB RAM DDR4 2666Mhz SODIMM (2 x 16GB RAM cards), my laptop should see it no problem? Also, if it doesn't see it immediately, would I be able to go to the BIOS or something to change some settings?

It should work fine, yes, but I haven't tested it myself. If its not detected immediately then it wouldn't be a BIOS setting or similar, it would be a compatibility issue.

For the SATA drive I notice on demonstrations people leave the clear plastic with the blue pads on. I just ripped that out. I figured it was temporary and mainly there as a guide and to hold the screws. Is there any reason the plastic needs to be on there? I figure you need as much ventilation for heat as possible, so why have a piece of plastic covering a drive? The screws hold the drive in place and the drive itself is already protected by an exterior.

I've put 2 identical 8 gigs ram sticks on my laptop of 3200MHz speed each but when I open my task manager to check the specs on ram it only says a speed of 2667MHz. Why does that happen? Is there a problem with the ram sticks or does the motherboard have some kind of "cap" on speed so it can't utilize the full speed of the sticks? Btw I checked the cpu specs and it supports a memory up to 3200Mhz anyway

This was so helpful as I didn't know why those two screws didn't come out. Wanted to see why my keyboard is sort of sticking out around the center, I thought my battery might have been swollen, and it's a new laptop, but that wasn't the issue. Is this normal on your model as well, the fact that you can press down entire keyboard around the middle?

@@BrueComputing okay, because dells website says that it's max ram is 16, however that might mean a different model type, the CPU for mine is an Intel i5 11th Gen 1135g, and Intel says the max one is 64gb

On my system there were no warranty stickers or seals. You'd want to return the system to its original configuration in the event of a claim though.

Yes, although you'd probably need to do a clean install as don't know if it would boot after cloning from NVMe M.2 to SATA 2.5".

You can fit 16GB modules, so 2 x 16GB would give 32GB.

Hi mate, great succinct and informative video you made. I am getting speeds around 1,700 read on a new Kingston 500GB KC2500 M.2 NVMe I installed. Apparently the machine supports pcie 3.0 x4. Would you have any clue why such low speeds? Cheers from Australia

Always disconnect the battery of a laptop when you are replacing components. #1 It's really easy to do and only takes a minute. #2 You really don't want to have any power to the laptop of any kind before you start removing and inserting components.
