Excellent video, thanks for making this.
Thank you for a very informative and well presented video. Until seeing it, I had no idea that storage on the Lenovo 110S could be upgraded, nor was I aware there was such a thing as M.2 ssd. I bought a Kingston A400 120 GB ssd for 25 quid, followed the procedures you demonstrated, and voila, everything worked perfectly! As you say, the Lenovo is a great little laptop for travelling. I used to store my photos and files on a16 GB micro card but that’s not an ideal solution. Thanks again for explaining everything so clearly, and I wish your channel every success!
Glad to help!
very good tutorial, clear on the requirements with links to examples included. Giving us many alternatives to tools as well (old credit card, plectrum etc...) You didn't edit out any mistakes you make (like missing a screw) etc.
Thanks man, hope it helps!
Thanks for this comprehensive and totally accurate tutorial. I was about to ditch a 110S-11KBR due to lack of storage. It was a bargain buy years ago with a brand I trust and advertised as upgradeable to Windows 10. Of course with only a 32GB SSD, that became an ongoing problem. Before finding your video, I did not even know there was an expansion slot (and I downloaded to hardware manual). New life to what would have been clearly obsolete.
Glad to have helped!
Very grateful - I was on the point of junking this laptop. Your video was clear and straightforward and above all encouraging! Thanks again.
Glad it helped you!
Thank you very much. A friend gave me his 110 because he bought a newer laptop that was expandable. After removing all his files I looked in RUclips and found this video. Amazon sent the new HD in two days and I installed it this afternoon. It took Windows longer to install itself than it took to make the upgrade. Thanks again.
Awesome! Glad it worked for you
I've been looking for this one. Thank you so much for this tutorial.
Glad to have helped!
Thank you for your explanation, it was very helpful and exactly what I was looking for. Everything worked out wonderfully. Great video 👍
Glad it helped!
This is the best vid. Clear, simple and easy to understand you. It helps and resolves my storage issues. Big Thanks.
Glad to have helped!
Thank you, well presented and gave me the confidence to upgrade the SSD hard drive because of the issue of not having enough space (32GB SSD) to allow for the Windows 10 upgrades.
Glad to have helped!
What a VERY helpful and understandable guide to upgrading this Lenovo Ideapad from an annoying 32GB to a great 240GB storage laptop. Everything worked out perfectly. My wife, who is the owner, will be thrilled not to get interminable messages about lack of space for updating Windows 10. Many thanks to "The Man" whose name I do not know !!
You're welcome, my name is Matt
Brilliant! Was looking for a nice, easy to understand DIY video. Really appreciate it.
Thank you, a great tutorial, exactly what I needed.
You're welcome!
awesome video bro - super helpful, exactly what I needed! Thanks!
Glad to help!
Thank you, this is a brilliant simple fix and upgrade in one go. And it works!
Glad to help!
Thanks Matt. Enabled me to create a useful little notepad I can easily take on the plane to holiday and when out and about. Took a bit of head scratching as I found some things, e.g. non booting USBs etc, but nothing too major.
just one issue. my second hand machine already had a case screw missing. so i now need 2. seems very hard to get appropriate replacements.
Have a look on Amazon, they're listed there. Search for m.2 screw
Great, worked a treat. That's the hardware done .........Now the software...I got an hour old copy of windows but windows update still had a lot to run, which took a good while and a reboot or two, and need lenovo vantage and lenovo service bridge have to be downloaded and run to get the trackpad to work for sliding up and down..Then it will load all the windows bloatware ..... so make sure you can keep your eye on it for a while to get things up to date ...then when you get time disable the USB boot option from the BIOS so that you don't get some other USB corrupting anything .....
Thanks for this, have upgraded ours and got a Kingston 240gb new off Amazon for £21.99 and installed no problem. Windows install took 2 goes because I forgot to wipe the old emmc first time and you can't wipe it once you're in Windows, even if you boot off the new SSD because it still sees the old unit as a protected boot drive. (At 10.10 before installing, select the old unit and delete the partitions then create a single (empty) partition.) As others have said, without this the computer would have been junk. Cheers
Brilliant guide. Clear and accurate. Works very well. Thank you.
Glad it helped!
Thank you! A very nice tutorial and cleary. Congratulations!
You're welcome!
Amazing just did it and it worked! thank you so much!

Hi. Today I bought a junk 110s at Akihabara, but was at a loss as I couldn't find the way to bios. Thanks to your video, I have just been able to restore it!
Glad to have helped!
Great stuff. Thanks
You're welcome!
Thanks for this guide, just upgraded Small Red to Big Red :)
Glad I could help!
Ty, liked I pulled this tablet out after not using it for awhile and nothing could update due to low memory, thanks
Glad I could help
Great video thanks
useful information...thank you
You're welcome!
Thank you very much, this is right helpfull.
Glad to help!
Great video! Not only for the information but also for the presentation (clear and fluent language). Many a time, regardless of how interesting a topic may be, it's difficult to watch because of the bad speech. Thank you!
Thanks!
Good video.
Please how to transfer the license key to the new installation?
Thanks
Nice info!. btw... nice T-shirt.
Thanks!
Bravo e' la migliore guida vista. Grazie
Glad I watched this, because whilst I was aware an m.2 SSD could be installed, I'd thought it was nvme pcie not sata 3, so pennies saved.
Glad to have helped
Followed and now upgraded my wife's ideapad. Nice one
Glad to have helped!
Liked and subscribed, good clear instructions, thank you.. but I have 2 queries, (1)where exactly is that small button you pressed with the screwdriver, and (2) moving the eMMC to the last priority and setting exclamation still boots from it (I haven’t installed windows on the m.2 yet (waiting for charger to arrive in post)
The reset button is on the right hand side of the base. During windows installation onto your M.2 drive you will be able to format the eMMC to ensure you boot off the correct drive in future
Thanks for sharing. The video is very clear. How about Lenovo Idealpad 120s-11IAP? Do you have any experience?
Thanks
Thank you!
Awesome video I have now resurrected my daughters windows 10 laptop that couldn't update
Glad to have helped!
Well-thought out and executed instructions. The screwdriver tip near the screen was giving me palpitations though.
Thanks!
Hello, nice video (I have been watching and saving a bunch to refer back to so I don't miss anything) but by far yours is the most complete. I have one question. Instead of making a windows boot USB can you clone the 32GB drive to the new one that is installed? This would save all the data including the MS Office that I have installed. Then format the 32GB drive to have the additional storage. Is this possible? I have 2 of these to do that are for my kids and what they use for school. Thank you if you can clarify.
Hi, there are 3rd party tools out there for doing this
Thanks, I just got the new version of the same laptop with 128GB eMMC storage. Want to add separate 512GB M.2 Gen3 SSD drive, without removing the Windows 11 OS from eMMC. Can you please explain how can I achieve this?
Thank you. Super helpful. I have an Ideapad 110s I got open box from Best Buy in 2017 that stopped working, but this is making it work again. Do you have a video that explains how to reformat the original 32 GB of storage space as you explain in the end of your video? For example, do I have to go back into the bios, and take the exclamation point off of that drive in order to reformat it? Where can I find the system manager on the 110s? The laptop works now, so I don't want to mess with the wrong drive.
To re-use the original 32GB of storage first re-enable it in the BIOS (But do not set it as a bootable device). Next within Windows click on the Start menu and then type "computer management" - in the window that opens click on "Storage Management" and you should see the 32GB drive in the lower panel. Once you are content that there is no data on the 32GB drive that needs recovering you can right click on the drive in this Window and format the drive so that it is usable space.
Thank you for this tutorial. Will follow the steps closely. Do you suggest resetting the laptop to factory b4 doing this or can I leave the few apps I’ve added?
Performance of an M.2 SSD will be better than the built in storage, so i recommend you reinstall Windows and all apps on the m.2 storage
@@TechMadeEasyUK Got it. Thanks again for the steps...
Your video was very good. Well explained! The only thing I needed to know is how to CLONE everything to the new SSD drive. Not reinstall Windows 10 or any other apps/programs. Thanks!
There are apps for doing that and plenty of other videos on RUclips demonstrating it. But glad this helped!
@@TechMadeEasyUK Do you have a preferred easy to use favorite one?
Did you find a good tutorial for it? I'm so lost.
My wife has the same notebook. Another idea is to enlarge the paging files so the computer doesn’t freeze and crash apps when it runs out of Ram memory.
Is the battery replaceable in this laptop and how do i creat the usb drive back up?
Paid $50 for mine new, so this is a no brainer upgrade. It is great for traveling ad light work.
I agree, I took this one on a plane journey just this week
Hi, I'm having a little trouble downloading the windows 10 media creation tool, it says I don't have space in disk c even I used a 16GB flash drive to download it. What should I do? Thank you.
Does anyone know the max size this laptop will accept? I can only find new 1TB drives locally. I dont wanna buy a used one either.
I did everything but after exiting and saving changes it didn't take me to windows set up did I do something wrong?
I was getting ready to part ways with my little 110S until I stumbled across your video. Great info and detail, makes me want to try and save whats been a fun machine accept the storage capacity that kept me from updating Windows.
Glad this helped!
@@TechMadeEasyUK Bios wont disable the C drive, computer continues to boot normal. The USB and new SSD are visible and appear to be working properly. Any suggestions?
You should be able to disable the original drive in the BIOS. Send pictures of your bios screens to admin@techmadeeasy.co.uk and I'll get back to you when I can
Hi thanks for the video it has really helped me. My only problem is that after the bios setting, I cant get it to boot from the usb and its not displaying my adata ssd, where am I going wrong?
M.2 card must be SATA and not PCIe. Does the M.2 appear on the first page of the BIOS?
Followed the whole instruction, but it just goes back to the original Windows.
Anything I'm overlooking?

Great video. Apart from openning the laptop, how can I be sure my 110S-11IBR has an M.2 connector? Cheers.
If its the same model as shown here then it should have an M.2 connector
@@TechMadeEasyUK Thanks. I've just worked out how to access the Lenovo parts list...which has 2 possible motherboards for my serial number, both have an M.2 connector. You've got be so careful though with Acer also. (connectors are quite often not there). Thanks.

Thank you for this video ! Great and easy to follow. It did take me a couple of attempts on the Windows 10 install as I kept thinking that this computer HAD to be a 32 bit system. Once it hit me that it was 64 bit, PIECE OF CAKE !
What antivirus software would you recommend ? Or should I just stick with the Windows 10 antivirus software ?
Personally I just use Windows defender and make intelligent solutions about what websites I visit and what files I download
Yes, Windows 10 own anti-virus should be good enough for home use. Mcafee (yikes I hear you say!) does a useful freebie for those that like clicking (or typing) random websites. Its Webvisor. www.mcafee.com/en-gb/safe-browser/mcafee-webadvisor.html
@@TechMadeEasyUK Thanks again for both this video and your reply !
@@videorab Thanks for your reply. How much CPU/MEMORY will McAfee's Webvisor consume ? I am very much afraid to add ANY software that stays resident and runs in the background given the limtied capacity of this little machine.
Very informative video. I have a 64Gb Ideapad 1.11GL05 model 81VT which has the same 10 screws and looks very similar inside. I ordered a 256Gb M.2 2280 card, then upon closer inspection on your video, I realised that although mine has an edge connector on the mother board and screw hole as on yours, the socket to plug the M.2 card in is missing. Do you know if this is available? Maybe my Ideapad is not suitable for upgrade!
My fault, should have been more careful.
Sorry I've not looked at that model so can't advise
The steps really worked...I was able to install new hard drive and install O/s, is there any way we can increase the RAM from 2GB to 4 GB
Afraid not, the RAM is soldered to the motherboard on this model
Great video I'm thinking of doing this., But some people think this modification may be futile as upcoming Windows updates are so large it will swallow up all the new gigs in a short space of time. Do you think this is true?
It depends on the size of the SSD you install, I don't think windows will encapsulate a 120gb SSD anytime soon

Providing your usb stick has a higher boot priority it shouldn't be necessary. You should be able to format it during windows install
Hi, thanks for the video, really clear and helpful, I was wondering if you could help me though, I have done everything you have but once I change the bios settings the laptop just starts up as normal, can you tell me what I'm doing wrong please, thank you

Is it possible to add only the SSD as a extra storage not for the O.S. Drive? I dont want to go back from the start , lazy reinstalling programs lolz 😁thanks man!
Yes it's possible but in my view would be a waste as an SSD would have improved performance over the original included storage
Hi I have installed the m.2 hard drive into the laptop but when I go into the bios the hard drive is not recognised there. Is there something that I've not done?
There shouldn't be any additional steps needed, it's possible your laptops BIOS needs updating or that you have a faulty SSD
I’m looking to get an older Lenovo ideapad in order to upgrade. I got Lenovo 120s cheap about 2 years ago but have discovered neither SSD nor RAM can be upgraded and tbh I’m getting frustrated with it’s limitations. From what I understand both SSD and RAM can be upgraded in the 110s? I want to do this right since I’m supposed to be building my savings up and can’t afford a misstep!
The syorage can be upgraded in the 110s, but not the memory
Does the usb key need to be a certain size
Minimum 8gb I believe
Great video. However I am having some issues here. when I am trying to do the Window 10 Media Creation setup, Windows 10 setup is telling me that it needs more space. Any idea please. I have successfully completed all the other steps so far and I don't why Windows required more space?

Hello. Can I do these things in Lenovo ideapad 100s? Can I install windows 10 on SSD memory in the same way?
As far as I'm aware the 100s doesn't have an M.2 to allow an SSD to be added
You can add ssd
My 110s has a password set on the bios. But I have not been able to reset it. I tried disconnecting the backup battery (and main battery) on the motherboard but the bios doesn't reset. Any ideas?

Google Windows Media Creation tool to download the tool for making a bootable USB.
If you type "computer management" into the Windows search bar it will bring up a tool which will let you see your new SSD to confirm its working.
It should also show up as an available drive when you attempt to reinstall Windows from USB
Tech Made Easy I’ve tried to do that as I had upgraded to windows 10 already but despite adding a blank usb drive it won’t download the tool saying insufficient space in my C: and doesn’t give me an option to use the USB
@@richarddron4397 After you download the tool you need to extract it on someone else's PC. The extraction process creates the actual tool that you save to the USB drive and that is what you use to boot Windows.
Sir I need your help. Can I email you
What is the model and brand of ssd? Thanks
The model I used was a used item from ebay, but there are suitable links in the video description
are they the same with 100s? i'd like to add a memory for the 100s series coz I can't update the windows
The 100s has a different logic board and I don't believe it has expandable storage
You can add ssd 😉
Is 2280 and 2280SS the same thing? Thanks!
The SS stands for "Single Sided" and means that all the memory chips are on one side of the circuit board. In real terms it doesn't really matter if this is so, in most cases
does an M.2 NVME SSD work? I bought a Kingston NVME memory and it did not work :-(
No it won't work
Thanks a lot!
But I have one question, what happens with the windows 10 license that the computer already has? Do I have to buy another one?

can I upgrade to m.2 optane? :)
just thinking that I might be able to install linux (fedora) on it and make an 8GB swap file on the optane too and then you have 10GB of RAM upgrade.
Can it be used for extra storage instead of a boot drive?
Yes but you'd be missing out on the performance benefit of using the M.2 drive as your boot drive, it'll be faster than the built in eMMC storage
@@TechMadeEasyUK thank you. And you don't need to activate windows again once you install it?
@@michaelwalker8250 You shouldn't need to, no
@@TechMadeEasyUK ok
Did it ask you for your Windows Product Key? my Lenovo is from my old work boss.

Definitely, I installed peppermint Linux and it was much faster
I was wondering if anyone had any issues with the microphone after upgrading? I upgraded my daughters lenovo without any issues except now the microphone doesn't work.

Does sound like a driver issue, it's unlikely you physically damaged the microphone while working on the laptop

Good idea!
hello, i opened my laptop like in your video, and in mine it's a slot for NVMe SSD, maybe it's a European version of this laptop ?
I looked for the difference between sata (M.2) and pci (NVMe), it's pci slot in which you can install either a sata or a pci. in this case which one to choose ? thanks.
If your model can accept either than for this use case it doesn't make much difference, so I would go with the cheapest
@@TechMadeEasyUK Hello, with your manipulation, when installing windows with usb, no need for a key for windows ? thanks
...because I don't know where it is, the support says on the box but I can't find it
Depending on the age and variant, you may not be required to enter a license key
Why not just replace the M.2 with a regular 2.5" SSD, wouldn't that be even faster?
In this case there is no 2.5" slot so your only option is to install an m.2 ssd
My computer does not reboot it just turns on as if things are regular.
No language options or install options.
Are the same parts applicable to the 100S?
I don't believe so, I had an email from another viewer a while back with a photo which showed a very different layout
