Thank you very much for posting this video. I bought an Inspiron 15 3510 (Pentium Silver N5030, 4G RAM, 128GB NVMe) because of it - Dell should kick back a finder's fee or something. They don't even advertise the ability to expand with a 2.5" SSD SATA drive on their website, but seeing it here convinced me it was suitable for my storage needs. Straight forward process to access everything, your demonstration is clear and easy to follow. Using this video, upon receiving my Inspiron, I immediately opened it up, upgraded the RAM to 8GB (2400MHz), the NVMe drive to a 1TB WD Blue (with an EFI partition & fresh Linux install preloaded), and added a 2TB ADATA 2.5" SSD. The UEFI is unfamiliar to me, so it took some effort to figure out what needs to be changed, in order to boot the new NVMe drive, but once up, works like a charm. I plugged in a Kill-a-watt Meter, briefly, measure as high as 29W on boot, around 15W while running a GUI and charging, and dropping down to about 10W consumption at idle in the GUI with a charged battery. I am only at the first steps of getting all of the hardware configured in Linux, but wanted to give you a big thankyou before I forgot and moved on. I surely do appreciate it. . PS : If anyone installs & runs a 16GB/32GB stick of RAM in one of these machines, successfully, I'd like to hear about it. Intel claims the Pentium Silver N5030 has a RAM limit of 8GB, but with earlier generations of CPUs, those RAM limits could sometimes be breached with the right type of module density on RAM. Am also curious to hear about anyone using a high-capacity double-sided NVMe drive, or a high-capacity (9mm thick) 2.5" SATA drive. I *think* the 2.5" drive will fit without difficulty, but I'm never certain about double-sided NVMe drives. .

You helped me upgrade my father in laws ram from four to sixteen gigs of ram. Now he can use this thing to work instead of just collect dust! Thank you for the video.

Thank you so much. I had trouble opening it because of the top corners screws. After watching your video I managed to upgrade my RAM to 16GB 2400 MHz Dual Channel ❤❤

Thank you! Mine arrived today and your helpful video as helped me install 8GB of RAM and it's working:) My son has been giving me a hard time saying it's not very good computer though:(((

thank you! this helped me upgrade my RAM:)

Can u make a video to show how to remove this laptio keyboard and palmrest? Thank you:)

Awesome video. Just a quick question: I noticed you didn’t mention the CPU as an upgrade. Can you upgrade the CPU? Or is it integrated into the motherboard thus meaning it’s difficult to upgrade?

Hi! I need to know if the SSD screw is a PH000. I used a PH000 screwdriver, but I couldn't remove it. :(

Thank you so much for making the video on 3510. I purchased a new 4GB RAM (2G DDR2 667 SO-DIMM CL5) but I can't see any extra slot for RAM. So how can I add new. Please help me.

Hi, I have a problem with the dell 15 3510 i5 10th generation, when my hinges broke I glued it back in, so after I finished my laptop won't start again ?? i was pretty sure that i didn t touch the main board but i maybe forgot to unplug the battery while i m working..

In bios mode I checked battery heath is good and adapter 65w showing. Please helps me to laptop work on battery mode. Even driver update shows upto date .

Very helpful video! Question... The laptop currently has a 2400 MHz RAM chip. Can you use a 2666 MHz chip?

I have a dell precision 3510, has a 256 gb. I have a portable 1tb add I can plug into the side but I was wondering is it possible to place it on the inside? Any and all help will do.

great video, just what I needed. I have a 4mg ramand 128 sata drive. I am installing a cruicial 8g ram and a 1 tb P3 Plus drive. Should I remove the sata drive?

Can you list all the components you upgraded, name/number for this particular model, for ease of ordering them online?

I have a is that a hard drive at the bottom with bracket or internal storage

According to Intel spec the N4100 and N5030 only support 8GB of ram. Did anyone actually try it with 16GB?

Kingston ddr4 value 3200mhz vs kingston ddr4 fury impact 3200mhz which is best

Great video! Thanks.

Hi sir. May i know why my laptop same of yours only detach 4Gb but im usibg 8Gb. What must i do sir.

Hai do you think 128SSD is too low for this laptop, I’m looking forward to buy one soon ??

I try to use microsoft teams on this model , it's super slow any suggestions please 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Hi I have Inspiron 15 TGL 3000, 3501 Is this also a single module for ram? It’s 4gb as standard would like to upgrade to 16gb if possible

I have a question, I have the intel pentinum version of this, do you know if this one supports 8gbs of ram, and also how much MHz does it run at?

Very informative. If we upgrade RAM, when playing fortnite or PUBG still buffer? Thanks

Necesito mejorar la velocidad de esta notebook. Podrías decirme qué debería comprar para mejorar su velocidad por favor/ GRACIAS! No puedo creer haber comprado algo tan lentooooo!!!

I am a complete novice. I have purchased a M2 2280 SSD 1TB, Is it a case off just fitting and that's it, or do I need to remove all software onto a external hard drive and reinstall? Thanks

Is this a good longterm laptop?

Does it have cooling fan ?

Hi is it okay to install 2666 to 2400 mhz?

I wish they would make cpu's replaceable on laptops . You have to buy a whole mew laptop about every 2 - 3 years.

Is the GPU upgradable

Sir, is this guide compatible with dell vostro 3515?

Is the cpu upgradeable?

With a machine like this, but the Celeron chip. Can I upgrade like you?

Nvme ssd ok

Did this and now it won't power on

Great video...!!! If I upgrade the SSD to 1GB, what happens to Windows OS...or is the OS held somewhere else?

What brand of Ram you use ?

I just wished they had put two sodimm slots so the user can be able to run at dual channel memory , even though the maximum for these celeron chips is 8gb. My dad gifted me recently a Lenovo S145, it has the N4100, 8gb Ram and 512gb ssd❤️ only thing bogging this down is this single channel memory 😅💔
