I was wondering, what if my laptop only has 1 ssd slot? I still want to upgrade it and put windows on it. But what if my single ssd in my laptop is the booter ssd and I want to upgrade that one ssd and have windows on it as well?
@@VeeTalksStuff In that case you will need to do some preparation steps. 1. Copy important files to external storage, 2. create Windows bootable USB. - then you can upgrade to new SSD , install windows with bootable USB, and copy your files to new system. Or you also have second option: 1. Buy m.2 to USB adapter. 2. connect your new SSD through USB. 3. Clone your Windows system to new SSD using third party software(ex: Acronis True Image).
"its not hard to do some RAM / Storage upgrade" im pretty sure devoting my entire life into building a time machine to make dinosaurs come back to life and give everyone free ice-cream would be easier.
It's important to note that some laptops with RGB lights have their module connected straight to the motherboard, and by opening the laptop one could break those cables! Be careful!

@@VeeTalksStuff you have 2 ways to do it if you have a usb stick and want a fresh install of windows you can reinstall windows but if you want all the files from your other drive you can get an m.2 to usb adapter and use a cloning tool to have all your files preinstalled onto the drive
Honestly if laptops had more upgradability like PC's or even a term called Laptop building being easier it would be a game changer but we'll probably see that in 70 years time

My Laptop needs to be upgraded on everything 😅 And my PC needs a new GPU because the one I have now just randomly shuts off while I'm gaming or working and I don't know why it does it
PC Centric I need your help with something. I was going to build a gaming pc and I had a Ryzen 9 and a 3090 ti with 32Gb of ram with a 1200 wat power supply. Would that work very well?
"a 3yo could replace the RAM" My current laptop (built in 2014) was designed by an idiot. the RAM was obstructed by a heatsink pipe.... required quite a bit of dismantling and reassembly
I made the mistake of ordered a rain pack of 8GB RAM cards for my older laptop, but unfortunately I didn’t realise it used DDR3, and I got DDR4 cards. I’m now having to order DDR3 cards for that machine. I was able to use one of the DDR4 cards in my other newer laptop but it’s got a weird layout with only 1 RAM slot, and no space or connection for an NVME card, which I also hoped to be able to use. Better than nothing but a shame I couldn’t use the NVME memory too.
hi, thank you for the video. my laptop has 2 more slots for adding ram. it now have a sodimm 32GB 4800 mt/s ddr 5 dose the speed metters ? can i add a 6400 mt/s ram ? thank you
I got everything up to the partition part. Does replacing ram erase your Microsoft documents? Should I create a backup copy on a separate USB drive for all my documents in word, excel, PowerPoint, etc.
Yes, a backup is always a good way to make sure u don't lose anything. I would suggest a full backup to a cloud, and another backup on a physical drive if u can afford it.
Would it be cheaper to go and get this done by someone or pray and watch as many videos as possible and practice on old computers then buy everything you need to switch everything out on your own?😅
I just upgraded last week for 32 gb of ram but I didn't watch any videos on how to put it on. When I put the first one in, I was getting excited but when I was about to put the second stick, I saw it didn't fit and didn't know I could just put it upside down. God I was about to throw my laptop.
my laptop has 4 slots currently only 2 are used, do I have to match exactly i believe they are two 8 gbs to make up 16, can I put two 16s in the other two empty slots? Or would they have to be the same 8 as that's in my laptop currently.. Yes i have 4 lol it's a predator helios 300 3070ti gpu 12thgen i7
I spent probably £350 on going from 8gb to 12gb ram and an SSD from an HDD on my 4 year old laptop but saved my well over £800 if I just went and bought a new laptop. So upgrading is the way to go if its possible.
i got a question, i recently bought a laptop with 16gb ram and im gonna replace it with 2 ddr5 G.Skill Ripjaws Series, which one do you think is better, The Corsair Vengeance or The G.Skill Ripjaws Series?
I want to upgrade my laptop. hp pavillion 15-ck066tx gaming laptop intel d5 8th gen. Can you give advice what should i buy. SATA SSD M2 SSD 2 SLOT OF DDR4
Just to note : it is usually not necessary to put thermal pads for RAM cards. There might not even be a heat sink for them depending on model. Though maby the double-sided 32GB ones need the extra heat dissipation. Follow what applies for your laptop and RAM sticks.
Installed and formatted, but windows still boots from my HDD instead of SSD. How do I set my new SSD to boot windows instead of the HDD? I already cloned the OS (windows 11) to the new SSD! Thanks for any tips!
Quick question! If you were to upgrade your RAM and/or SSD would that sort of reset the computer? I mean like make it so I lose games and softwares I have downloaded?
ram doesnt change anything of your computer just upgrades it but if your laptop has 2 m.2 slots you can put both drives in it but if theres only one you can swap it out and clone it@@BongooVR
That opening is sure the more common one but some laptops u need to unscrew from the bottom and then lift the keyboard up and u will find some other screws and thats the most "difficult" way to open a laptop.
Thanks. That was very helpful. No offence intended but you reminded me of the logo on the DUMMY series of books, like PC for Dummies etc. Very refreshing
when I reconnected my battery, there was a blue spark on the right side in the connector but wasn't there after fully plugged in. The laptop turns on but is this anything to worry about or just electricity trying to jump the gap?

40 degrees really threw me off. Like 40 degrees is actually kind chilly. Of course I forgot everyone else uses the same system pretty much. Damn us Americans
question is i have a cheap HP lap top thing need extra memory how do i find out the right tork driver for it or would the cheap ones need it. Would love to fix it its a great back up. And great news my new aming pc is coming can't wait.
It's not hard to do some RAM / Storage upgrade. but it's important to check that your not violating your product warranty. if you care, of course.
