You're a lifesaver. I know next to nothing about PCs, which is probably why I had to buy a 2TB SSD immediately after ordering a custom-built PC with only 512GB SSD rather than the 2TB SSD I had meant to order. I never thought I'd be able to actually do this stuff on my own, but your video was completely straightforward, not intimidating at all, very well explained, and well-paced. Thanks so much :)
I want to say exactly the same with An Louise. I used to know stuff about pc about 20 years ago. I ordered a pc for my son and I never expected to manage to put an extra ssd NV me on my own. But with your help I did it ! Thank you . Your language was very comprehensive even for foreigners! Greetings from Greece 😊
@@ovuvwevwevweenyetuenwuewue6849so I have 256 Gb Ssd in my pc and I want to put a 1tb in it what all do I need to do like do I need to backup stuff and if so how
Feels good doesn't it? & the PC space sure has a 🐇 🕳 of other avenues too. I def contemplated ordering a pre built because it is still a hassle if not experienced/careful, but also allows you to really see under the hood. Like I didnt even realize my motherboard has what, 4 NVMe slots?! I'm building mine atm(finishing it 2nite) w/a 4080 SUPER & i7 13700k. Never used NVMe drives B4. Also got a regular SSD as well
I just built a new pc and istalled the samsung 990 pro m.2 but my system doesnt detect the drive. What do i have to do. Now theres now way for me to install windows.
The first video I find that explains the whole process in the simplest way. Some youtubers refer to the bios, most don't even show how to plug the ssd in the socket. Bravo and thanks
Great tutorial. Thank you. It always amazes me how small the M.2 drives are when you take them out of the box. Such an improvement over the old technologies.
You should add a popup saying 'Choose GPT if Windows 11' on screen at 3:30, it gives me and I guess a lot of other people have the same windows message.
I was panicking because I thought my new drive was broken, since it was "undetected" (didn't show up in explorer lmao). Weird that I would think that since I already installed another one previously. Anyway, this video was a nice and quick refresh for my memory.
Close the app and then open it again, it should show you that you need to restart the ssd, after you restarted it, you should be able to click on the "new simple volume" option. That's what I did
Thanks a lot - I was concerned at first because my NVMe did not show up as "Unassigned" like yours did - I had to scroll down first. So if there is anyone with a similar issue just scroll down and you will see the unassigned partition. So happy to finally follow a guide where it actually works lol!
After installing the SSD I was so very confused on why it wasnt popping up, thank you for helping me fix that simple mistake that could've costed me my whole computer!
Thanks, I was getting worried when I installed my M.2 and nothing showed up. You'd think windows would bring up a message "Hey I noticed you installed a new drive, want to configure it so you can USE IT"
Thank you making my jump to SSD hassle free. Hey, that rhymed!rhyme! UPDATE everything he said would happen happened. No lies just honest no bs helpful info
I haven't tinkered with PCs since 2013 so please excuse me,But this can be used in the place of a Hard drive for a gaming PC? And can you install more than one of these in a PC?
Awesome stuff. Just bought a 2nd hand PC that has an M.2 SSD. The seller didn't have a heatsink on top of the drive but it is secured by a screw. Is that ok or is a heatsink required? Thanks for the vid.
Really helpfull!!! I am a complete moron when it comes to IT stuff, so this video saved my sanity, since i was about to searche the problem in the cinnection instead of creating the "volume" XD
Thank you, was missing the last part of setting the drive up in disk management. I could see the drive in device manager and it was saying "device working" but I couldn't see it in file explorer. Now it looks to be all installed and ready to go.
Dude! I’ve changed way too many SSDs but NEVER an NVME. You made it super simple to understand. It took a few minutes to take out the old one and put in the new one! Than you man!
I swear man thank you so much for this video this helped me so much because it was showing me something i thought i wastyedd my money but thankyou so much
Very well done video through and through. Appreciated the tutorial for setting up the drive in windows as well, rather than sending me over to another video. Thank you!!
Thanks.. mostly it was all as expected.. i just wanted to be sure to leave the info sticker on the M.2 SSD and place the Heatsink on AFTER placeing it correctly.
Dude! Great video! My cousin said he was gonna help me but ended up not being able to and this video just did the work for me and made it so simple. I was super stressed and worried about breaking the PC given the fact I knew nothing about them since I just got into PC gaming. Super thankful and glad for this tutorial thank you and great job brother !
Man, thank you so much for this and the hard drive video, hope you keep this series going, sometimes pc building becomes an anxiety inducing task, even if the process is easier than it used to be you want to minimize the chance of screwing up, I'm waiting for parts and will definitely be referencing your videos in the future! Have a great day!
YOU ARE THE MAN! I swear I put my M.2 in my PC and then check my GB and didn’t see anything new. I was gonna install different things to fix this problem. Thank you very much !
I gave you a Thumbs Down for your bait and switch tactic. The title implies that you can find the workaround for putting an NVME into a Sata M.2 port. You also state "If you can insert it into the M.2 port, then you can use it." At no point in this video did you address any way to do this. Most motherboards have two M.2 ports, but only one will take an NVME card. Shame on you.
Congratulations, nice video, unfortunately I tried with the second m.2 SSD on the MSI B450 motherboard. The placement entry didn't appear, not even in the bios. There was no recognized entry. I had to replace it with a normal 1 TB SSD. By chance there is one. other way?

make sure the m.2 ur taking out doesn’t have windows installed on it unless your installing it onto the new m.2 drive

I have the same problem, did you find a solution

GOOD VIDEO
Is the heatsink for the ssd required? What if you use your pc without it?
Not required
@@UnlikablesRQ Thank you, I appreciate it.
Great tutorial. Thank you. It always amazes me how small the M.2 drives are when you take them out of the box. Such an improvement over the old technologies.
Followed your instructions and it worked FLAWLESSLY first try. Thank you for making a video without garbage fluff and just the facts.
what a great and straightforward explanation, keep this series going man, you're killing it

FINALLY! someone shows what to do in the OS after you've physically installed it! thanks!
The new simple volume option is gray for me and I can’t click it how do fix?

You're a legend tyty
After installing the SSD I was so very confused on why it wasnt popping up, thank you for helping me fix that simple mistake that could've costed me my whole computer!
Watched 2 other guys videos and they left out several things like the first step.. initialization.
Thanks, I was getting worried when I installed my M.2 and nothing showed up. You'd think windows would bring up a message "Hey I noticed you installed a new drive, want to configure it so you can USE IT"
TYSM im autistic and was having a nightmare of a time getting mine setup thankyou for the easy to follow explanations.
thank you so much, you saved my life and my pc :)

You showed exactly what I needed to know in a simple easy format that was easy to follow. Earned a sub from me.
Very small introduction, straigth to the point. Thank you man!

I said at exactly 2:45 "well that was easy"😂

same thing is happening to me
Your Amazing Thanks Brother 😎😎😎🤓🤓🤓
0:30 This case is really good, I think the heat dissipation should also be good.XDD
I'm a big fan of open-air pc cases!
