Feel like a pro installing my M.2 after watching this wahaha!
wow my friend, thank you so much for your kind words, your support, checking out the video and commenting, it means the world to me. I am so happy I could help you.
Including many different angles for the insertion of the drive at 1:35 is such a small thing that makes such a huge difference to someone like me who hasn't ever had the chance to do this myself yet. Thank you!
Always a pleasure my friend, so very happy you stopped by, trusted in me to help you, liked and subbed as well as took a moment out of your day to thank me. It means a ton to me and I am so very happy I could help you. Yeah, not one way works for all, I really do try to make it as universal as positive and I thank you so much for pointing that out, it means a ton to me
Yeah even me hardcore pc builder , still feel kind of unsure inserting those M.2 disk ,so its okay,hardware manufacturers didnt make our lives easy, especially nvidia , when they diceded to switch from hdmi to display port, what a stupid idea!
@@tr233 DP was much better than HDMI 2.0, with 2.1 around, that's a different story, though not as widely adopted, I prefer DP much more, BUT we've been on 1.4 for quite some time,.. need more, but yeah, a bit rough that it can be a problem if its not fully inserted, but easy enough thankfully to get corrected thanks so much for chiming in my friend ;)
The usb 3x flip around was perfect 😂😂
3rd times a charm
Haha, thanks bud, glad you enjoyed it ;)
Brother I just wanted to say that I really appreciate your content. It's direct, easy to understand and well detailed at the same time. Keep up the good work!
Always a pleasure my friend, so very happy you stopped by, trusted in me to help you, liked and subbed as well as took a moment out of your day to thank me. It means a ton to me and I am so very happy I could help you.
I don't know any other way to explain it, my computer freezes randomly and I checked the event viewer and I found that message that states the problem with my M.2 drive.
Absolutely love your videos. So much information and to the point. I'm getting back into pc gaming and purchased a new ssd and a retail 3060. Both videos helped so much, thank you for what you do. Instant subscribe. I will definitely check out more of your videos when I replace more parts!
awesome my friend, thank you so much for your kind words and your support, it means the world to me. I have another unboxing coming out tomorrow, then friday on a new product, I will be one of the first, if not the first to have this unboxing, and then an install video, stay tuned my friend, soooo many things in the pipeline ;) Thanks again, I am so happy I could help you.
This is exactly the video I needed to see. Thank you so much for breaking down the different types of drives, how to install and utilize them. I really appreciate the content. Your instructions were so clear that even a beginner can follow them successfully. Thanks again!
Always a pleasure my friend, so very happy you stopped by, trusted in me to help you, liked and subbed as well as took a moment out of your day to thank me. It means a ton to me and I am so very happy I could help you.
Love the accurate way you put the usb in its socket... Classic
haha, always a pleasure my friend, I mean that's they way USB works, try to plug it in one way, then turn it around, because it never goes in right the first time, then flip it again, and the it works, the original way you plugged it in
It only goes in one way, out of two possibilities, but it always still takes three tries!
😂
Never done an M.2 install in my life so I was really nervous about doing it.
You helped me get through the process and have it up and running in 5 minutes!
A million thanks dude 🙏
Awesome my friend, Always a pleasure, so very happy you stopped by, trusted in me to help you, liked and subbed as well as took a moment out of your day to thank me. It means a ton to me and I am so very happy I could help you.
Thank you so much for this video, as well as a couple of your other videos. I've had a normal sata ssd as my boot drive for the past few years, and finally got a m.2 nvme that I wanted to make my boot drive for a smoother experience all around. Your explanations and walkthroughs are simple, yet thorough, and I'm going to start coming back to this channel whenever I need help! I hope to see your channel grow more with time, you totally deserve it!
Always a pleasure my friend, so very happy you stopped by, trusted in me to help you, liked and subbed as well as took a moment out of your day to thank me. It means a ton to me and I am so very happy I could help you. Mondays video is actually a follow on to this one, so it may help especially in your path. Again, so very happy I could help.
I love all the different angles you provided when physically installing the SSD, loved it!
I do have a question tho, do you know if the SN550 WD Blue SSD comes with a screw? Because if not, I do not have any other screws for it.
always a pleasure my friend, so very happy I could help you and so very happy you enjoyed the video. As for the screw, no. No M.2 SSD brings the screw, its something the motherboard would bring. If the motherboard doesn't already have it screwed in, some do, some don't, check the motherboard box. If you cannot find it, I would recommend calling or emailing the motherboard companies support staff and they will either send you one or 2 or sell them to you. If you find a different way, please do let me know.
@@ThisBytesForYou Hey sorry for getting back so late, but indeed the M.2 screw was already on the motherboard where the m.2 slot was just under the head sync. Thank you so much!
@@glorifi7385 awesome bud, so happy I could help you.
Very descriptive and i appreciate the multiple angles of installation. Purely wanted to know how to do it without breaking the SSD. so this video was perfect. Thanks!

Tons of good stuffs here, great guides and thorough explanations for pc noobs like myself..
Huge thanks my man !
Always a pleasure my friend, so very happy I could help you and that you enjoyed the video, it means the world to me. I hope you clicked on the bell notification, that way you know when I come out with videos just like this, and out of 400, I am sure I have another video that would help you. If I don't, please do let me know, I could make one for you.
Got an m.2 for christmas, this video was exactly what I needed to get it working. Simple step by step directions. Just FYI, when I first saw the drive in Disk Management there was no red "down arrow" that I had to right click on. I simply went to the next step, but just in case that confuses anyone else you can disregard that step.
yeah, sorry about that, I missed putting that since it was a used drive, I already had a partition on it, so I didn't need to initialize it whereas for you, if it's a new drive you do need to.
Always a pleasure my friend, so very happy you stopped by, trusted in me to help you, liked and subbed as well as took a moment out of your day to thank me. It means a ton to me and I am so very happy I could help you.
I made this video after, so it might be better suited: ruclips.net/video/e5kh5h3xg9M/видео.html
came for the installation, stayed for the amounts of free info, definitely worth a sub
Thank you so much for your kind words and support my friend, it means the world to me and I am so very happy I could help you.
Baby boi, i love you. thank you!! even a year later this helped me. i spent 7 hours freaking out thinking i broke something and it was really because i needed windows 10 and my bios. thank you so much again. you're very patient with your viewers and what you do is truly from your heart, thank you!

NOW I have gone back and and gotten my computer to recognize my SATA drive and not it's all set up!!! After watching you, it was so easy!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Always a pleasure my friend, I try to make them as easy as possible, I know not everyone is techy, I totally get that, so I try to take the tech out and make it more human, so happy it worked for you.
Thank you for such a detailed video. Took me a few seconds to install my new Samsung 980 Pro 2tb SSD as a secondary drive.
ahhh good stuff my friend, so very happy I could help you, though I did make this video for adding a secondary drive: ruclips.net/video/e5kh5h3xg9M/видео.html

Hey! Really appreciate this video, your tutorials are so helpful. I’m still so new to PC building and most videos on this subject talk to you as if you’re already an expert, like no, that’s why I’m here.
I was wondering if you could answer a couple of questions for me please: I’ve just bought an SSD to upgrade my existing PC and I was intending to install windows on it.
1.) Do I need to back-up my files on my existing hard drive, or would they still be present after I install windows on the new drive?
2.) Would you ever recommend one of those programs that ‘clone’ the drive and basically do the install for you? Eg Seagate
As it’s my first time doing any of this, I don’t want to cut corners with anything, but I also don’t want to do anything wrong. Thank you so much for the help!
Awesome my friend, so very happy I could help you and you enjoy my videos. Yeah, we all started off not knowing anything, so there is no reason to mae myself sound intelligent, I am an idiot, I am just really good at this and I want to help you and everyone be good at this and more, sharing knowledge is great for everyone, so there is no reason for me to make you feel stupid, so happy you like the way I pass on my knowledge. I don't want you to make me feel stupid when you teach me something I don't know, so I try the same.
1. To your questions, you don't need to back up the files on the drive you are not going to install on to, but I do HIGHLY recommend you disconnect that drive during this process, so that you don't delete the information by mistake, that would be horrible, and don't worry, the reason I am recommending this to you,... if because I have done it myself.
2. As for cloning, I NEVER recommend it, all the issues you have with your current drive, or issues you don't know you have will now be on that new drive.... and who wants issues right? There is nothing better than a clean install of windows, so smooth, so fast, everything works Now, just because I recommend something, doesn't necessarily mean thats what you want, but if you wanted to clone your drive to this new drive, you can, and I made a video showing you how to do it,... but again, I recommend a clean install, but here you can find that video: ruclips.net/video/lZktuFEmRvU/видео.html
Always a pleasure my friend, please do let me know if you need anything else. Please also make sure to share this video and any other video I have (I have about 400 videos) that you find useful with your friends. They may not only help them, but they will for sure help me grow. Thanks again my friend.
@@ThisBytesForYou Thank you so much for the speedy response!
Your advice helped so much and everything was going smoothly but now, I’ve hit a bit of a roadblock. SSD is installed and I’ve got my USB ready to go with Windows 10. Turned on my PC ready to install but it will not connect to my monitor... I just get a no signal error 😭
@@to7780 did you unplug anything on your monitor? Is the cable that connects your monitor to your PC plugged in and in the correct port? So very happy I could help you my friend, but we will get this.
@@ThisBytesForYou I unplugged everything while I installed the SSD so I could work; I had to take my graphics card out to reach the M.2 slot.
I have two monitors but I only plugged my main one back in, just while I set up Windows. ☺️
@@to7780 you can plug in both, no problem, make sure you have the pcie power cables plugged into the video card, and make sure both hdmi or dp cables are connected into your video card, the other monitor could be your main monitor.
Excellent video. I was having second thoughts about upgrading my PC myself. but now I am confident to do it. Thank you!

2:30 even in a tutorial, it's physically impossible to put a USB in correctly the first time.
hahah, I did that one on purpose for the laugh factor, I giggle myself when I see it again because no matter what, everyone first time will plug it in wrong, even if its right. If you plug it in right the first time and it goes in... stop what you are doing and buy a lottery ticket ;)
I laughed lol :D

@@X05Radar always a pleasure my friend but a big please, don't comment on posted comments, RUclips does not notify creators of those comments, I only found it because I try to go through all of my videos.
@@ThisBytesForYou Sorry, I never do that, my mistake, I was able to install the nvme ssd using an adapter, because the existing slot was used for 16gb Optane memory but could,'t get the PC to rexognise it, one dy later the pc wouldn't work properly, I will have to have it repaired, my biggest worry is the 2TB data,, thanks again for your very informative videos .
@@X05Radar no no, no worries on me, but I like to reply to everyone, and these I miss a lot since youtube doesn't alert creators on these, and many other messages, its really bad on this side.ahhhhhh Optane, well sorry my friend, I didn't realize that when I told you, but what the about the other slots? Going through an adapter, you are losing performance, though they are fast as it is, so you may not really see it. Ahhh but repairing it, yeah I would see if you could put it on another slot.

Hi ... don't know if you'll see this ... but where is the video you mentioned at timestamp 8:00 ... about setting up the system drivers "without letting Windows do it for you"? I'm watching on pc, so don't see any video you pointing to "above". Thanks

On another note, If you have to update your EUFI/Bios remember to set it back to NVME instead of legacy, I forgot that flashing the BIOS put everything back to default. I'm sure allot of people still have a duel EUFI/BIOS, and NVME drives won't boot legacy only EUFI. I made this mistake and thought I bricked my motherboard and thought no I didn't because it still does POST, just as I thought, operator error forgot to set it back to EUFI boot. you would of laughed if you saw me trying to trouble shoot everything except the problem..lol
Good info my friend, but what board do you have, most boards for the past few years have EUFI set by default, so this is the first i hav e heard of this. Yes, legacy does cause a few issues, with NVME, Resizable Bar, Windows Installation and a few other things, and yeah a flashed BIOS will reset everything, but do you have an older board?
@@ThisBytesForYou I have an older MSI Z170A SLI Plus Pro Series. It supports both Legacy and NVME. That's what threw me off, when I first built the system in came with legacy off so when I flashed I assumed it would be the same. :-)
hmmm, that I thought they still have EUFI, but not all boards/BIOS' are the same, at Velocity for the Z3 series boards, we would use EVGA boards, so MSI might have had it different but good thing you could that.
I know I’m coming here only slightly late \s, but I’m not sure what my motherboard/any of that situation is, which is the reason I haven’t started this process. I bought my SSD so long ago but got scared to accidentally erase everything on my computer. I just found your video today. I will try to find out and recomment with the details, but will you let me know if I would need to do any extra steps or if my system would have a duel EUFI/BIOS like you guys are saying?

First time M.2 SSD user here. Never heard of this stuff until I got my new MB and wasn't sure what it was. Your video was very helpful in explaining it, and I ordered a 1TB M.2 and will attempt to install Win10 on it tomorrow - wish me luck!

@@tamerraad2570 thank you my friend, and your English is great, but it is what it is. People only go to the bigger channels and put their trust in them.... but the bigger channels have forgotten that you, and all the other viewers/subscribers are why that channel is so large, its really sad, I try hard to interact with EVERY SINGLE COMMENT, but it is what it is my friend, I just keep pushing and thankfully I have great viewers/subscribers/friends like you ;) Thank you.

I got my son an M.2 for Christmas, so I’m researching how to physically install it. I’m familiar with the BIOS/software install portion except for making it the main drive. I’ll continue searching for cloning the main drive to install on the new drive, but I just wanted to say thanks for this video. I like your presentation and attention to detail…especially trying to insert the USB drive - happens every time 😂
got you my friend on the other video, so happy you found it, I was out getting my son a car.... it's his first car... uggg. Let me know how it all goes for you. Also, watching that other video and this one, do you think I am missing anything?
That is the best explaination for the M.2 drives ! Great video. THANK YOU FROM CANADA!

This was the fist video (and I searched a lot and bunch of reddit sites) to explain why my m.2 was not showing up (fresh build/install/drive). Thank you for showing that I had to insert my windows OS USB and restart and ask it to install BEFORE it found my drive (sorta backwards to me). Again , awesome video

I have an 11 year old Dell that still purrs for what I need. After watching this video, I need more, lol. Thanks for such an informative video and I'm sure I'll be watching more shortly. Never realized what I was missing! I'm not a gamer, just online, spreadsheet, & some photo/video stuff. I'll be picking your brain & or videos very soon. Thanks again for the enlightenment!
no worries my friend, I am here to help, I want to make a comparison video, i just have such a backlog but if you run into any problems, just let me know. Please know, your machine is 11 years old so it may not have an M.2 slot, if you don't and you have a mechanical hard drive, you can still improve performance by going with a standard SSD, check this video out: ruclips.net/video/vXpAsf7SJ3M/видео.html
Thanks! Grateful that our paths crossed. You're one of my YT favorites. Vidsummit 2023!

Wow, thank you so much my friend, I greatly appreciate it, it means the world to me, I need to remember to book that next year, so my wife doesn't waste that money...
@@ThisBytesForYou lol. If I keep dropping these bread crumbs, they could add up to a ✈️.
hahah, dude, I just got back from dropping my son off at the airport, I have been on the road since 10AM, just got back 6PM, and editing, ugggg

@@RealJustinZiegler my life would be 10x better if I could afford one right now, I would have a ticket purchased to go to CES so I could make content for that person to edit but right now, I can't buy anything, for a while too and that will hurt the channel
Thank you so very much for this. I would have spent some good money to pay someone else to do this for me otherwise. Your explanation is concise and to the point; yet you don't leave out any essencial step. I did face an unexpected issue trying to install Windows 11 instead of 10 (it said my machine didn't meet the minimal system requirements, but it does!), but I easily found a solution and got around it.

Always a pleasure my friend, and thanks so much for your kind words, they mean a ton to me. I have added the monitor and capture card I was using in the description, but the description also had my entire system at the time of this video, I hope it helps.
