I bought this same Lenovo 3 years ago for my son. He lost the power cord after the first 6 months and it sat until recently. When I bought a new power cord and finally got it to restore back to factory, space became a issue. I am so glad that I found your video. I purchased the same drive you described but on Amazon for 26 bucks. Fast and very easy upgrade. Thank you for taking the time you took to make this video and God Bless Brutha.

Change the title , UPGRADE STORAGE

Thanks for sharing. I found it very useful. Don't be discouraged by people critiquing your mistakes or presentation style. You should be proud of figuring this out for yourself and you should keep pushing on. It took me awhile to learn all the tricks and secrets. When you figure it out teach your son so he is not afraid of technology. I had my son and daughter help me build their desktop computer from scratch. They learned a lot about computers and no longer see them as magic boxes and now they are going to start doing their own upgrades.

This is video is especially valuable now that unfortunately, the more recent versions of Windows 10 force you to free up a best-case minimum of 8GB on the local hard drive in addition to having 11GB free on an SD/thumb. In order to stay current, it's now required to upgrade internal storage because it is impossible to free up 8GB of space on the original 32GB drive unless you uninstall Windows as well. Great to be able to do it right, and on the cheap! Thanks for your kindness, Mr. Randy!

Thanks a lot bro! I've got just the same Lenovo and your directions are very helpful! Greetings from Greece!

Thank You for all the help I have been struggling for the past two months trying to figure out how to update my windows but not having enough memory it took me forever to find this video but it was very helpful thank you very much now I will be saving for that drive

you can simply clone the existing windows installation to the new drive. Everything is copied and on the same location. Then change the boot order in the bios, the ssd has to be the first boot drive

Thank you man, I saw this video, I was looking for a solution to my Lenovo IdeaPad 110S-11IBR, as it was unusable after it ran short of memory, I said to myself: if this guy can do it I can do it, so I bought 250G SSD from Amazon, my Lenovo now works great. saved me hundreds of Euros buying a new notepad.

I just finished watching your video it looks pretty easy but I’m afraid to open my Lenovo. I bought it this February until now I could barely use it because of its low memory. I’ll order that chip somehow in the future once I get a job. 😁 Thank you for sharing this will save it on my playlist. Have a good day!

Thank You Mr. Johnson I have been looking for someone with a laptop like mean. Thanks for the upgrade

Thanks for sharing this. Its nice to see whats inside the laptop before I open it to know what i am going to be up against. I'm getting this laptop tomorrow from someone for $75 and it only has 2GB RAM and 32GB storage. I was hoping the RAM slot was going to be shared here, but its good to know that adding the M.2 SSD storage is easy. I might just use the Micro SD Slot with a 128GB for added storage as this laptop wont be fast anyways and I can symbolic link to span the Micro SD to the SSD to install stuff to C: which is actually on the Micro SD since I already have a Micro SD Card available for it. On my other laptops I use my Micro SD Slot as a location to mirror data with my drive so that if the drive crashes I still have a copy of it on the Micro SD Card.

thx for the rundown, i've just got sick of windows and installed linux, shit is flying now!

nice stuff man, you make a impact on other. Thank you

Interesting video. Thanks. There is one problem however. You called this "Upgrading lenovo 110s-11IBR Memory" and that's not correct. "Memory," in "computer lingo" is RAM (DRAM). What you were upgrading is "Storage" (or similar terms.) The two are quite different and it's a lot like calling a string a "rope;" You probably don't wanna do a lot of rock climbing with a "rope" that's actually a "string." Make sense? The reason I quibble over that is because I am trying to find someone who might have been able to add more MEMORY to this laptop; 2GB just doesn't cut it. And I've yet to find someone who knows how to do that. I got as far as unscrewing the shield that covers the motherboard but it Seems the board is sort of "glued on" and I don't want to tear it out without knowing if that's "wise." And I did upgrade my memory to 128KB. Easy, actually. And 128GB isn't much, but enough for me and this laptop. And it not only increased my storage, but it a good deal FASTER. Around 4 - 14 TIMES faster which is nice, especially since, due to that meager 2GB it has the system tends to do a LOT of swapping which is quite slow when compared to RAM. So, that's it. Please don't think I'm "picking on you," I'm not. It's just that using the wrong terms can be confusing to others. Thanks again. (P.S. Thanks for the lead on that other site, however I don't understand why you didn't just add it directly to the text in your post; it'd be a LOT simpler since it was quite tiny and "bleary." But I found it and ... no-go. Not entirely sure, but it seems that site rejects people from viewing it (Or it's just my system.) It appears it was done purposely but there's a workaround that I've yet to test; gotta change the IP address to make it let you in. Odd though that someone who posts reviews would block it so perhaps it's just some odd "fluke.")

Wow I was replacing the keyboard on that laptop and I was wondering what this port did! Wow didn't expect for the memory to be upgradable. I have the 64gb storage model what I did was to format the drive with Windows 10 ltsc as windows 10 pro got so slow after updates

Soooo helpful thank you so much! Is there any way you could show how to do the thumb drive windows set up you were talking about in the end? That’s the part I’m confused about

The boot menu you pulled up does not change anything, you are selecting what to boot from that time only. To change boot order, you'd have to go into BIOS settings. Screw size is M2 x 3MM - which most Lowes and Ace Hardware stores sell locally. Your laptop will work with just about any M.2 Solid State Drive, not just the ADATA drives and Lenovo drives.

Thanks bro after seeing this I'm not the only one fucked up for this lenevo shit at least that's better I got respect ✊ for you bro I admire you you sound a simple and generous man ✊🏾✊🏾thanks bro

Thank you for this video Mr Johnson! I really appreciate it!

Great video. Its helpful to see the steps, i feel like i could do this as a result of seeing the video.

You should.be able to just clone the drive instead of doing a fresh install. Great video. I did this same thing on my sister's computer.

Help I did it and it didn’t work I did everything he said

Good video: 7/10; I wish you didn’t say “uhm” every 3 seconds, would have been a 8.5-9/10. If you were able to get a camera holder and use both hands along with not saying “uhm”, the video would have been a few minutes shorter and then that’s how it would have been a 10/10 video. Just some constructive feedback :D

the adress is changed now: gfr2reviews.com/?s=lenovo+Ideapad110s

Lol we can insert an sd card of 128gb it's got a slot for that what's problem with that

I swear I got 100 GB with mine

No slot for a hdd. This notebook sucks.

upgrade memory? you mean storage. click bait for ram option by this black guy.
