Ram cant be upgraded?

THANK YOU

Nice video. I will be upgrading the storage in this laptop.

You’ve excelled-terrific job!😍🤩😍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

It seems like Easeus todo backup software is not free anymore... Are there any other suggestions ?

Thanks for this guide. Giving back to the community, here are the details of my successful upgrade. 1. System Model VivoBook_ASUSLaptop TP401MAS_J401MA 2. Just 2 out of 4 rubber feet had screws. It was tough getting under the rubber feet and they did end up peeling off. But they seem to stick back. 3. For the same 70ish CAD I got a 500GB WD Blue 500 GB SATA SSD M.2 2280 (Sept 2024) Moore's Law at work lol. 4. For cloning EASEUS seems to charge so I went with Macrium reflect trial. No credit card required. If purchased it is just a one-time cost. 5. To access the UEFI (BIOS) it is F2. Make sure to hold it down before pressing the power button 6. I placed my computer on aluminum foil that directly touched the kitchen floor. Then used the foil for baking chicken in the oven to celebrate lol. simple cheap solution for grounding. 7. For my model I couldn't disconnect the battery, it was too delicate. I risked it (disclaimer: no guarantees)

Used disked genius it’s free to do the copy. Kinda not satisfied with the speed but ig it’ll do for now.

Thank you for this tutorial, is it required to clone and change boot priority? or can I just extend? what are the benefits or consequences?

Casper $CSPR would be a good one to check out and analyze, kindly consider CSPR.

Can i upgrade the RAM?

My screen has never been happier.🍊🍉

Hello. can you also upgrade the ram? on this laptop

Nice work excellent explanation!

Very good tutorial, I can't get the under of the conputer open. My guy in the video just put his finger in and opens it like nothing 😭

I have a 2022 modle Tp401ma the sata samsung evo 860 250gb dose not work the Nvme evo 970 1tb dose work how ever

Nice. I will do this on my son's laptop. Do you have a tutorial how to change the battery?

Thanks a lot for this great tutorial!! :)

Can I go bigger on the ssd

i tried this SSD update on a 303 bios version without success. BIOS default shows to SATA and AHIC. Which version of bios works or is there something i'm missing??

Hi i know this is a very old vid, but is possible to swap out the memory for a 8gig stick at all,

Hi first of all very helpful video removes hesitation on the viewer's part Question - Is there any workaround for PCIe NVMe drives? Because I already bought it.

Big thanks Noise in the Office! Very helpful and concise. I used Macrium Reflect to clone then had to use Mini Partition to deal with making the C partition larger... couldn't do it in Windows Disk Management (both have free versions). Reflect allowed me to clone without needing to format it first in W Disk Man. also. Cheers again

Quelqu'un peut m'expliquer ?? Le truc qu'il vient de mettre dans le pc moi je l'ai pas c'est normal??

I have Asus TP401MAR (you can use MyAsus app to get details about your model). I've bought WDS500G2B0B - the same SSD with bigger capacity. But it's doesn't work unfortunately, not compatible. UPD: After that I've bought WDS250G2B0B - and it's also didn't recognize by system. I've made a clone of my Windows OS, so both of the disks was initialized. Probably will try WDS500G3B0B (WD Blue SA510) as John bellow advised.

Great video. Thank you. Question... I'm in computer management and when I follow your instructions to extend volume, I get an error saying that the basic disk will be converted to dynamic disk which will not allow the starting of the OS from any volume except the current boot volume... Do I want to continue??? What should I do at this point? Thank you in advance!!

Hi, great video! The TP401MAR I bought, manuf. 5/2021 - has PCIe 2.0, not SATA III, and has 4GB RAM on board, not upgradeable. (CPUID CPU-Z identifies everything)

is it possible to upgrade RAM on this laptop?

@noiseintheoffice The laptop you updated the HD. I wonder, is RAM upgradable in this PC? I have the same PC for my daughter. I have upgraded HD and need to upgrade the RAM as well. Please confirm. Thanks in advance.

I have the latest iteration called TP401MARB manufactured 11/2021. FYI, it still doesn't have an NVMe controller. As one other user pointed out, it would be listed under storage controllers in Device Manager if it did, like on my Odroid H2+.

Thank you Brother

Thank you so much I did it with a terabyte now I have so much space

I just tried it with the same drive you have and it is not being recognized even in the BIOS

hello, I followed all your steps but my M.2 SATA SSD is not being detected anywhere both in disk management, bios or under This PC. What do I do pls? Hope it's not that the SSD I bought is defective. It is a 128GB M.2 SATA SSD (the one with two gaps on it). EDITED: I went ahead and ordered an NVME drive (the one with a gap) and it worked. Please don't completely follow what was said in the video cause you'll waste money. Ask questions and be sure your model is the exact one in this video. I wasted cash buying an M.2 SATA Drive

anyone know how to upgrade the RAM of this computer.

Thanks for the clear instructions. Where is the RAM slot if I want to add RAM at the same time as SSD. I took the cover off but can't see a slot for a RAM module. Thanks !

Wonderful tutorial! Thank you!

Once all the screws are out, you can pop the lid open using an old, full size sim card. Stick it long-ways into the seam adjacent to the right hinge and you should be able to get enough leverage from the hinge to pop it open there, without scratching anything. Once it's open there, you can use your fingers to go around and open it the rest of the ways. My fingernails weren't able to get it started.

The J401MA indeed has a discrete Wifi card that can be removed.

Hi, Nice video, the best. Once the new SSD is installed what happen to the old one? Do I need to take it off?? Thank you.

Please help! My asus vivobook flip 14 TP401M Notebook PC won't turn on and connecting the charger doesn't work either.

Hi, quick question. Is there any chance that it would work with a PCIe?

Nice tutorial, i have a question. Is it possible to swap the CPU for a better one?

Sorry to bother you, I cloned my data onto the SSD but I haven’t been able to change it in bios. Is it safe to clear the SSD to try again?

Ram can be upgrade???or switch??from 4gb to 8gb??

OMG, extremly detailed tutorial! Thank's a lot!

Does the battery drain faster or slower with the WD Blue NVMe SSD?

Please tell me the exact model number of this laptop Is it TP401MA-EC320T or TP401MA-BZ215T or else?

Very helpful tutorial. Can you advise me: should I initialize the new disc with GPT or MBR in order to transfer my operating system and other files to it?

I cloned my disk onto my ssd but it won’t appear in BIOS, what did I do wrong? I cloned it with Macrium by the way.
