      its ok to remove but if you want to upgrade ram hdd sdd or wifi , there is no need at all to remove the battery, if you read the schematics you would know that there is no power on those rails until the power is on. but if you feel safe doing it by all means go a head a do it, and i appreciate your support to the channel my friend :)

    Hello! I'm watching your video because I'm trying to put a samsung 5400 rpm HDD on my DELL G3 15 3500, but after i put it in, the computer goes on "preparing auto repair" and doesn´t boot itself, I believe what the computer is trying to do is to boot from the HDD instead of the SSD that has all the archives, windows and stuff, can you illustrate how can i aproach this issue, or is this a matter of the speed of the HDD since you say in the video that 7200 is better recommended? Appreciate the answer!

      regarding your question: OK wait SSD is much much faster than any HDD! a hdd 7200rpm is faster than hdd5400RPM. if you upgrade the HDD to a new HDD you must install windows 10 on the SSD again, because when you have two drive in a computer during the windows installation the windows takes the 2nd drive and places some pending into that.
      STEPS you should take:
      #1 create windows 10 usb drive:
      ruclips.net/video/uDu8j2lE-dM/видео.html
      #2 now the solution for you will be to back up all your documents and images videos on the old HDD 5400.
      #3 place the new HDD7200.
      #4 power off the laptop
      #5 place the USB BOOT drive (step#1)
      #6 power on and keep tapping on F12 till you see a boot menu option
      #7 choose your USB boot drive
      #8 important follow steps by step: follow any of my windows 10 installation guide to get the optimum performance:
      ruclips.net/video/GkMZyCUarIA/видео.html
      (note when you get to the step to choose the where to install windows make sure you delete all the drives and you will be left with two drives, Drive 0, and drive1, one of then will be XXGB and the other XXGB.)
      install windows on the SSD (XXGB you should know)
      #8 good luck if anything let me know.

      when you replace the hdd or ssd you will have to install the windows freshly or download "Macrium Reflect"
      and use a usb to sata adapter: amzn.to/37rUluM
      and clone your main disk into the new ssd or hdd and then replace then as the video here and it will boot just fine.

    • @uFixTek
      @uFixTek  3 года назад

      A bad ram can give you blue screen, if your ram is old and has a bad sector it can give blue screen.
      you old ram it may not show you blue screen because the ram, is not filled up to max capacity. and when you place the new ram even 3200 it may show you blue screen because the old ram will be filled.
      i always do this to my clients if they upgrade the ram, down load a ram rest or use windows ram test command on your old ram, and see if you get BSOD with your old ram.
      if you didn't get BSOD with your old ram then install the new ram 3200 and test ram test.
      you can test the new ram alone to make sure it doesn't came defective.
      if all test come OK, and you get BSOD then you will have to reformat the windows but even before that check make sure your hard drive has zero bad sector or weak sector use this free program,
      www.hdsentinel.com/download.php
      if your drive has even one single bad sector it can cause the BOSD

      that's why you should always do a ram test after installing.

      sorry that i was away for few days, regarding your question:
      SSDs are only good for the OS and programs to run faster, but for the file security the HDD are the 1st choice, for e same reasons all server around the world are always based on HDD. 2nd reason is that the SSDs have lower life span as its based on TBW (Terabytes Written), some low brand give you much lower tbw and Samsung brands give the higher. once the TBW gets to its limit the file risk is high and the OS becomes very slow and crashing.
      but the HDD have no TBW (Terabytes Written), you can fill that and empty the drive as many times you like.
      i hope this have answered your questions.

      your windows is installed in your m.2 ssd , you can remove your HDD SATA and place a any 2.5' SATA ssd in there and login into windows normally and if you dont see the ssd in your computer , you may have to activate it.

      the samsung are the best for ssd they give you much higher TB write before failure the other brands give way less, always check for dram cash, and TBW (Terabytes Written) before failure.

      there is not problem on folding the ribbon cable few times but. its not recommended if you are doing to fold it more than 10-20 times. as you not going to be replacing hdd every week or so, so dont worry and the thing is once you fold it the shape you want, there is no reason to unfold to remove the adapter. you can just disconnect the adapter and conserve the shape of the flex they same way you had. i hope i explained my self :)
