Hi sir, same po kami laptop ng dad mo, gusto ko iupgrade yung ram and cpu, ano pong specs ang dapat kong bilhin?

[@AndrewDy]

you cannot upgrade the CPU in laptop as its already soldered. Ram pwede if you still have available slots.

[@mangkali6910]

[@xenomorf4836]

Is it necessary to Reformat or should i just migrate my OS without reformatting?

[@AndrewDy]

best practice is to reformat.. to ensure stable OS

[@magicpotatoyt2001]

nailipat niyo ba ung license key ng windows from hdd to ssd?

[@AndrewDy]

hm.. if you hve a license key tied to your laptop, i think pwede.

[@angelafernandez1404]

Kaya po ba ang 512 GB na M.2?

[@quinethquiminales8759]

sir kapag linipat ba ang os windows 10 sa ssd m2, yung mga microsoft apps ba sa hdd mabubura? at hindi malilipat sa m2 ssd?

[@AndrewDy]

If you cloned your HDD to SSD. The full system will be transferred. But I don't recommend. Do a fresh install of windows 10 on your new SSD. Then install Microsoft office apps if you need it.

[@jeniekacarylsimbulan8750]

ask ko lang po if makakapag games na po like valorant once upgraded na po? may nag bebenta po kase ng upgraded na po sya ng 20GB 1TB po.

[@AndrewDy]

hm.. not recommended for valorant ito, kaya pero hindi ganun ka smooth.. better find a laptop na may dedicated GPU. siguro light gaming lang pwede dito..

[@AH23805]

is this M.2 2280 SSD or NVME? is i5 8th gen x407ubr support this m.2 ssd?

[@AndrewDy]

the laptop only support sata ssd NOT nvme ssd, but m.2 physical interface form factor. for info, there are two kinds of m.2 ssd, pls dont get confused. SATA m.2 ssd, and NVME m.2 ssd.

@@AndrewDy boss, same tayo ng model at already tried nvme gumana po. I think supported sya.

[@exogendesign4582]

Don't buy Kingston they are the shittiest brand go for WD or Sandisk Way better than this piece of crap.

[@fbloorg6140]

You have the same opinion with my Technician at ASUS too. He recommended the WD m.2 rather than the Kingston a400.

[@exogendesign4582]

@@fbloorg6140 Kingston has the shittiest SSD, even if it has DRAM its still a sucky incompetent, inconsistent piece of crap product. You should listen to your technician and get WD, wd may a bit pricy but they a the best bang for the buck, you could also go crucial, but if you want the best then Samsung Evo860 till the latest.
