Thanks for the video! Just bought one earlier for a spare laptop. Mines the exact model, interestingly mine came with a nice Western Digital 1TB instead of the Toshiba. Mine also had a 3200Mhz stick of ram but was Samsung. Which I just ordered another of the same to upgrade it for dual channel. Is odd it comes with 3200mhz but runs at 2400 stock. Also added a 250GB m.2 I had laying around for the OS drive.

@phreakwars2 жыл бұрын
I never cloned the drive. I wiped it clean since it was a brand new machine. No reason to keep the old factory junk on it. You can clone the drive I suppose, but I honestly never recommend cloning. I recommend backing up all the data you want to save to a thumb drive or portable drive, create a Windows 11 USB stick, and just do a fresh install. You will not need to enter any keys since it's already embedded in the motherboard. You won't have all those garbage programs that come packaged with most OEM's either. You'll have an all around smoother running machine which is I'm guessing what you are shooting for. I do not have a video on doing this and will probably never make one just because there are literally hundreds of videos on KZfaq you can find where the procedure is shown. Not particularly the type of content I like to do honestly because there are so many other videos showing how.

Links are in the description. For Windows 11, you'll need to first remove "S" mode. I don't recall if that CPU will allow you to just do an upgrade because of TPM requirements. If it doesn't, then this is pretty easy to get around by downloading the windows media creation tool, creating an ISO, then download Rufus and choose an extended install which will remove the TPM limitations and allow you to install 11 on it. If what I said is confusing, doing that upgrade on a non-TPM machine is actually going to be the topic of my next upcoming video.

@phreakwars3 жыл бұрын
The 14-dk1035wm is spec'd exactly the same as the 14-dk1025wm, the only difference is that one is in "S" mode (which sucks). Upgrading it will yield you the exact same results I showed and what ETA Prime shows in the follow up video I link to. With that being said, what I would do is price what it would cost to add an M.2 drive and increase the ram and compare that to other higher preforming laptops. Lately I have been getting several Ryzen 4000 and 5000 series laptops, which are, of course, much better. The price I am seeing on them retail, is around $650 and higher. I'm not gonna say you should take that one back, but what I will say is you should comparison shop some of those better spec'd laptops before deciding. This one ended up being just a bit under $500 total (retail) after all upgrades. My cost of course, was much much less then that as I get alot of my stuff from sponsors, but something you'll wanna keep in mind.

No problem at all if you want to keep the 4 gig stick and add another 8, or even 16 gig stick if you wanted. Max memory is 32 gigs on this laptop. And the reason you want the hard drive model, is because it comes with the needed ribbon cable for a second hard drive. The stock hard drive is a junk 5400 rpm drive. You could easily go all out and add something like a 2Tb Seagate FireCuda drive as well as the nVME drive because it includes that added ribbon cable and hard drive "cage".

how big (in inches) is the hardrive with the ribbon. I have an hp14 but mine has the stick ssd and i want to expand it with an ssd harddrive
@phreakwars3 жыл бұрын
It's a standard 2.5" HDD. If you are planing on using both a M.2 SSD and an SSD on the SATA ribbon, your model might not have the required ribbon if you started with the SSD model, this is why I was specific in using the 14-dk1025wm and not the other models. All because of a cheap little ribbon that is hard to track down otherwise but makes a hell of a difference if you are looking for more storage out of the device.

could you link the ram and the ssd please? Ive just bought this same laptop (dk1025wm, 4gb ram, 1tb, quad core) , but mine comes with ryzen 3 3300 u and vega 6 graphics. Right now it is too slow, to open the programs and eeverything, I even investigated about this laptop before i bought it, and they said that it could even be a good laptop for gaming (minimum gaming). Also the battery doesnt last long. Do you think that upgrading both the ram and ssd could solve my problem of speed, battery and gaming?
@phreakwars3 жыл бұрын
Ram can be found here: amzn.to/3chQlSd the M.2 I used can be found here: amzn.to/3qZvxmM Upgrading ram and ssd will for sure improve the gaming and speed, you'll get a very slight increase in battery with the M.2, but not enough to make a significant impact. I'd maybe check the power settings and see if maybe you can adjust something.

@phreakwars9 ай бұрын
@@banditx3354 well, as an example, suppose the laptop had a bit of a charge going through it while I change say the memory. While the amount of current is too low to cause a shock, it is high enough to cause an electrical discharge or jump when removing the ram stick, which could damage the ram, or worse, damage the leads on the motherboard. That's just one example of why. Many other examples of possibilities while a charge is going into the machine and you work on it. Another reason I do this, is because when you add/change memory, a motherboard will need to retrain itself which can affect not only memory timing but other settings. Removing all charge (including the CMOS battery), will give you a clean retrain with fresh BIOS settings to work with.
