[83] Dell Inspiron 5570 - SSD upgrade

[@kathyrickthiel1890]

thanks man! You're a lifesaver. I was ready to trash my Dell laptop until I saw this video. Switched to SSD drive and immediately converted the laptop to a Chromebook. So happy.

Glad I could help

I managed to add my own SSD to the same laptop with your help. Thank you so much. ❤

I have an old Dell 15-5000 that was given to me, that had been refurbished. I was surprised to see an Intel Optane 256+16gb H10 in it. I upgraded to windows 11 and after seeing how easy it is to dismantle, I will upgrade the memory to 16gb and give it a good clean. So far it's going really well. Cheers from Sydney Australia.

Wow, sound like a nice laptop!

Sir, this video is a must for this kind of Dell models. My worflow was cloning OS using free Macrium Reflect. Then my pain started when unplugging the cloned HDD and trying to boot from cloned SSD. Then just followed the part of the M.2 creation at Boot Sequence BIOS Menu and reordered it above Windows Boot Manager and Voilá, enjoying the new flying speeds. What a pain I must say, but with your aid it was a great relief 🙌🙌🙌

[@ComputerHelpNI]

Thanks! So glad it helped.

Gracias, gracias, muchísimas gracias. Tenía exactamente la misma láptop, y la misma situación de hacer un upgrade de un disco SSD clonado y tuve el mismo problema y no lo podía resolver. Min: 11:01 Saludes desde Nicaragua.

Hi, I have just upgraded my Dell Inspiron 5570 to a NVME and for me it work without a problem. First I have used Hasleo Disk Clone software to clone my old SATA HDD to my new NVME. After cloning and going into BIOS it autmaticlly detected the NVME as a boot option. I deselected the Windows Boot manager but left the old HDD inside the laptop just in case. The laptop booted without a problem and it is now much much faster. After this I have replaced the old SATA HDD for a new SATA SSD and my laptop is now as new.

[@ComputerHelpNI]

Brilliant!

Hello sir can i use 990 pro nvme in my dell inspiron 5570 with i5 8th gen laptop i am very confused about this support or not this ssd

[@OfficeofthePacific]

Thanks for the video. I have the Dell 5570 I7 8550 Laptop. It came with a 1TB HDD and a 128 SSD. I wanted to upgrade to a larger SSD, but I'm not sure what the max size is I can use? Dell says too different things... one says 256 max and the other says 512 max? Thanks

[@ComputerHelpNI]

Had to say, as there is really no reason for them to limit the size. I’d try the 512, but I understand it’s a risk given that you’d be stuck if it doesn’t work. Sorry I can’t offer any better advice!

[@sawomirnieciecki1161]

512 nvme, otherwise 256

[@simondungeon1218]

Can i fresh install the OS in the new SSD ? And what will be the impact on the existing C drive contents ? Will they be erased if i freshly install the OS on a new SSD ?

[@ComputerHelpNI]

You can do a complete reinstall without losing the contents, but you need to be careful (and ideally you should back a backup copy of the drive just in case something goes wrong). After booting to the Windows installation media and choosing Install Windows (as it won't allow you to upgrade after booting from the installer USB), you select your existing disk partition and click next. The installer will detect your existing Windows installation and inform you that your files will be copied to a Windows.old folder. After Windows is installed, you can open File Explorer and find your old files under Windows.old (i.e. C:\Windows.old\Users\[your name]\Documents and so on). If the files on your drive are important, please be sure you make a backup copy to be safe!

[@manoj_manu444]

I did all the steps and also had the same issue you had when you are booting with ssd. Tried everything you showed and for you when you did factory setting and reboot then it worked but it is not the case for me. Can you help me what to do?

[@ComputerHelpNI]

It will depend on what the specific symptoms are. If the computer won't detect the SSD at all, as in this case, I reset the BIOS to factory settings, and it detected the SSD. If the computer will detect the SSD but not boot, then it's possible that the disk cloning didn't work correctly.

Can I use Samsung 990 PRO SSD 1TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 in this laptop?

[@alexandermatienzo7586]

Up need answer

[@ComputerHelpNI]

According to Dell Community, that laptop only supports 512 GB: www.dell.com/community/en/conversations/inspiron/inspiron-5570-m2-slot-type/647f778df4ccf8a8de5999a0

[@zayk8833]

Can you put a 2tb ssd in the laptop? I have a 1tb

[@ComputerHelpNI]

Yes, you should be able to use a 2TB SSD.

[@zayk8833]

@@ComputerHelpNI Do I need to put in a 2tb HD as well?

[@ComputerHelpNI]

@@zayk8833 You would just need a 2TB SSD (if you want to end up with a 2TB SSD in the laptop).

[@whitter86]

you should check the specs of your model, i have the same model and specs say 512gb max size for m2 slot

Hi, what will you recommend from these: RAM: 2X16gb 2400mhz - crucial - samsung - kingston fury * is the RAM mhz cannot be exceeded to 3200mhz? M.2 - kingston NV1 NVMe PCIe SSD - Samsung 970 evo plus Thanks much

[@ComputerHelpNI]

I personally prefer the Crucial SSDs, but mainly because they are inexpensive and very reliable. I don't know about the RAM speed, sorry!

[@sawomirnieciecki1161]

RAM mhz cannot be exceeded over 2400mhz, yet it will accept 2666 and reduce it to 2400. I would recommend KINGSTON Fury Impact 2x16GB 2666MHz. It will accept 512 GB nvme / 256 GB sata. I would recommend SAMSUNG 980 500GB SSD, yet the performace will be limited to 50% (only 2 of 4 lines of PCI available for SSD). There is no economical reason for going on with PRO series or better disks.

[@jerpengame123]

What gen of the m.2 did you put on this laptop?

[@ComputerHelpNI]

This was a Crucial P2 SSD, which is PCIe Gen 3 1×4 / NVMe.

[@JanHg10]

is it compatible with pice 4.0?

[@ComputerHelpNI]

I'm not sure. Sorry!

[@sawomirnieciecki1161]

It will accept, but the performance will be reduced to 50% of PCI3.0
