Thanks bro , your video was still helpful after 8 years 😅

I installed a 512GB mSATA ssd on my m14x but it doesn't show up. Any suggestions?

should not be, just make sure the drives a named different. never cloned but along as your boot order is set right it should work, but if it don't down load the iso file from their website and burn a cd, and reinstall from fresh. The reason why you normally would not want to do that is because you can mess the driver configurations up

I have a few questions =/ i hope you can respond 1. If the video card fails (i know its attached to the motherboard) is there any way to replace both pieces even if its custom made piece by a mom and pop shop? or do you know if a special order from dell can be made? 2. I just bought the same machine off ebay and its a 34gb ssd which I want to upgrade to a 128 or 256 gb ssd soon, the os is on the hdd (750gb) which thats fine I wont upgrade that but my question is -After upgrading the 34gb sdd can i switch over the os from the hdd to the ssd without the win7 cd? I know theres a feature called "Alienware Respawn" which resets it to factory settings, but i believe only to the same place the os is currently on... not sure if itll let me direct where i want the os to be. Could I simply "copy&paste" all the win7 files from the hdd to the ssd and call it a day? (Im not tech sabby =/ ) ps. You made this look very simple... it was a good detailed vid to watch, thank you for posting! I learned something new today!

Great video! Thank you so much - i plan on doing the same with my M14x R2. 2 quick questions: 1. To get all of the drivers back on to the machine, is there an easy way to do that, or will i need to go manually find all of them online? 2. Once you install windows from disc to the SSD, will it default as your boot drive? Thanks again! Chris

Hi, will a 2tb sshd work to replace the preinstalled 1tb hdd? Thanks for the help

What is a good 2nf for is round the 250/400* range, I really love the m-14,looks a amazing, don't like the idea of not being able to upgrade the g card,

Nice video man. Was just wondering--instead of booting from Windows disk, could I just boot to my original hard drive and then clone the drive to the new mSATA drive, then afterwards change boot priority to mSATA drive in BIOS? Just wondering if there's any concerns with this method other than it possibly running a little slower since OS was cloned and is not a clean re-install.

How does the Alienware MX r2 laptop solution if you want to turn it on you have to use the carger and sometimes you can't use the carger either

Can anyone confirm this msata install works on the m14x

Hey, just installed a ssd but neither my bios nor the system recognize it. Any hint? Thanks!

I have an M14x R2, looking to set up a SSD. Is it better to invest in a primary bay SSD and spend a bit more. Or how does it run purely on the OS Boot? The Fan and HDD on these are loud and toasty so would prefer cutting out the HDD all together....Thoughts from anyone please

Thanks a lot for sharing this. I also plan on upgrading my Alienware. I just wanted to ask if I can also change my usb 3.0 .. It has stopped working and every time I try to plug in a usb cable into it my laptop shuts down.. I had bought it from London, but I live in India now. And I don't trust the service sector here so have to do it myself. I would be so glad if you could help thanks..

Does the R4 have an MSATA slot?

Hey, at 5.13, in Boot otions, the CD/DVD/CD-RW Drive option doesn't appear, any ideas?

bro , what bios version you got ?

what was you name on the badge

how much faster does your system run i have a the latest m14 and i was looking at msata ssd options

Hi Danny, I know it has been a while since you worked on this one. I have a running M14X (R1) I believe. I want to add a M2 Ssd and upgrade to 16 Gigs of DDR3. 1. Is mine a DDR3L or Just a DDR3 2. I have some HD wifi card on one of the 2 slots on my laptop. Can I put it there? 3. Is my laptop even compatible with 16gigs and a M2 SSD? I would be really grateful if you could help me with my little problem. Regards

Hi Danny, I'm on W10, is it possible to dualboot and keep the previous version?

No, the audio is so off sync.

I got The Samsung SSD 520GB on my M14X R2, the boot time is super fast now, but sadly the GPU is not that good nowadays :( There lots of new games and I cant barely play it.

Is it possible to upgrade this laptops intel processor to a 7th gen? Also for the ram how high can i go just 16 or can i go higher? Im trying to save money so plz help
