A clean windows... That's a contradiction.

There was no warranty seal broken during the upgrade process, but in the event of a claim you'd have to return the system to its original configuration. If you damage anything in the process this may void the warranty as well.

If you have it yeah.
this a m.2 2280 nvme?
X415 have 1.0ghz does ssd increase its processor?
CPU speed will boost upto 3.2Ghz with i5 model , I believe
A clean windows... That's a contradiction. On such underpowered machines just install Linux (not a candy cane variant like Mint or ?Buntu, but a true Slackware, preferably 32 bit) to have this machine fly by like a Vickers Valiant.
My main machine is a Dell Latitude E5570 with a core i3 6001 CPU with a WD black HDD and it is so darned fast...
please u can help me with ssd and the RAM u can write them for me here cuz i have no idea 🙁🙁
sir i wanna ask u about upgrading ram. does it automatically cancel the warranty? t.i.a
btw my laptop has the same type as in ur video (x415ea)
There was no warranty seal broken during the upgrade process, but in the event of a claim you'd have to return the system to its original configuration.
If you damage anything in the process this may void the warranty as well.
thanks for ur explanation dude. ive one more thing to ask.
if my laptop has a 4gb ram onboard, can i add a 8gb ram on the other slot?
i tried to install it, and the bios read it as 12gb memory
will it be safe to my laptop? what should i do?
DDR3 or DDR4?
DDR4
.👍👍
inserting 16gigs of ddr4 3200 of RAM is compatible with its core i3 model?
Yeah
@@BrueComputingthe i3 laptop would then read 20GB of DDR4 RAM or will it only read as 16 GB RAM?
20GB.
@@BrueComputing oh i see...it's good if it's like that, i am confused with the one written in ASUS site since it is different than the written in the intel site
@@howenchua did you upgrade and did the 20gb work?
