I installed a 512GB mSATA ssd on my m14x but it doesn't show up. Any suggestions?
@vvvdannyvvv37918 жыл бұрын
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
@vvvdannyvvv37918 жыл бұрын
Chris, the dell support website will have all the drivers needed just download them to a cd and or a thumb drive, and yes when you install windows to the sss that becomes a boot drive, that's how I have mine setup it helps with the boot time so that's why j have mine set that way, if you don't want it as your boot just save windows to the hdd

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.

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..

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?
@vvvdannyvvv37917 жыл бұрын
yes and no, if you want to keep your old stuff on the previous version may not work that way, also, i might be wrong here, but i think windows uses your old product key from your old os for the new windows 10 so your cd key maynot be valid. But if you're using a different cd key, i don't why you could not dual boot on windows 10
