Hi can i ask, putting the HDD into the unit to make it external. Is that so you can boot it up and then re-install windows to the SSD?

[@bobbartonblues]

Great instructions! Easy to follow, easy to do with such lucid explanation. Molto bravo!!!

[@janci1992]

Man I was gonna take the whole thing apart to put an ssd in mine, before I saw your video. Thanks!

[@TechTronic9000]

Glad I could help!

Looks easy enogh I actually consider doing it myself (even though I already have a new laptop). Do I need a specific SSD (Size, connection type, etc.)?

[@TechTronic9000]

Depends on you laptop, the older ones had SATA interface so you need a SATA SSD, newer ones have M.2 nvme or M SATA. You need to find that first to get the fitting drive.

[@ethai1]

@@TechTronic9000 And they all come more or less in the same, fitting size? My old laptop looks identical to yours in the video but I know laptop models can sometimes be misleading. I got mine in 2013 though so I think it's safe to assume it's SATA. But I'll check anyway. Thanks!

With thanks you helped me see the end I was missing on the frame to get it home, as bad light away from workshop. So thanks for this it’s been another pair of eyes!

[@BRI-nl3pr]

How much for the SSD and ADATA ?

[@TechTronic9000]

I've put some links in the video description with the components.

[@rezgh511]

does k55 support m.2 SSD ?

[@TechTronic9000]

From what I remember the K55 doesn't have a M.2 port, so you need to use the SATA port to install a SSD
