Dell Inspiron 15 5000 M 2 SSD and Ram Upgrade

[@randalschmidt2178]

I just upgraded to SSD (I did the M2 internal, not SATA) using the software described. It did not show in Setup as a boot option (F2). But if I pressed F12 during bootup I could select it. I left the HDD in but disconnected it to save battery power by not spinning. A cold boot takes about 13 seconds. After keying in password, the laptop was up and running all apps in 22 seconds! Even my iPad is not that fast on a cold boot. Speed? A normal boot was about 15 minutes (5 minutes to get to the log in screen alone). Plus my Logos Bible software used to take about 8-10 minutes to fully load. Now it is less than 60 seconds.

[@ManuelCamarena0725]

[@TWOBITONEGUY]

I’m having a problem I installed my new SSD went into bios and change the boot sequences to sad being first and my windows boot manager being second but my 2 External hard drives and the hard drive in the laptop won’t show up the External hard drives show up in the bottom right but I can’t see the drives or access them but if I go back into bios and switch it back around it all works fine but it’s running off of the hard drive

[@reymartinez7329]

[@AzNstat]

[@kinikolo]

Great video! Can you describe wich type of ssd use for upgrade? Pls

[@bloodchrist093]

thnks for the tutorial.. just asking if i plug in my new SSD and clone my main HDD(wher the windows is instal), will my laptop accept the SSD???

[@ManuelCamarena0725]

Would this model laptop be compatible with a Samsung 980 pro Ssd pcie gen 4x4 nvme?

[@andrewbaron7782]

Useful tutorial but how on earth did you get the case off. I have the exact same laptop but can't budge the case clips where the dvd drive is located. Any tips please? It looked like you was struggling too but you cut away from recording that bit. Thanks in advance

[@AzNstat]

Thanks for the comment. I think I just used multiple pry tools and slowly wiggled it out. If I remember correctly there was a hidden screw by the dvd compartment which might have stopped you from opening the case fully.

[@andrewbaron7782]

@@AzNstat when I open the drive tray I can see a screw into the case which I will unscrew but can't find an easy way to get the drive out without damaging the runners the drive is on. Will have to have another look. Thanks for your reply though 👍

Did it help performance? I'm trying to play world of warcraft hhss

Hi, i have a dell inspiron 15 5000 series 5567 model (Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7200U CPU @ 2.50GHz, 2701 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)). It only has 4GB ram and i want to add another 8GB. You think it will hold 12 GB? Thank you for your respose

[@henrychenandtaylor7607]

Where do you buy the thin thing to open the laptop? Thanks

[@AzNstat]

It's a pry tool which you can get from ebay. Most phone repair shops will sell it.

[@thepadrote]

La actualización máxima de ese equipo es 32 Ram y disco duro 2,TB

[@juanpabloarraez8720]

¿Y con esa configuración podría tener GTA V a máximo rendimiento?.

[@raghaakhil6786]

If i will upgrade to ssd their as any data loss man plz rply

[@AzNstat]

It is advised to back up your data anyway just to be sure your data doesn't get deleted or corrupted

[@hemanthc3380]

I have an i3 processor( I am not sure of the generation, but I purchased around 2017) and 4GB RAM, can I add 8GB RAM instead of 4 GB ? Hoping for your reply

[@AzNstat]

Yep totally fine 👍

[@TonTheCreator]

Can i put 2 8gb ram on my laptop ? Inspiron 15 5000

[@chardsana2423]

Does it boost your laptop condition? I'm planning to upgrade mine also Hoping for your reply

[@AzNstat]

Yes it does. It'll make things boot faster and be able to use more programs. Definitely worth doing.

[@mattlord2906]

​@AzNstat I asked dell they said my ram can be 32 from 12 MB ram. However I ended up in blue screen of death. I also replaced old battery when I did this. Not sure what caused the blue screen. Going to try it again. I have basically a new windows 11 running. Maybe it didn't like the new battery. Changed out the cmos battery as well because it showed dead on tester.

[@JUANCASIERRA]

GRACIAS POR EL VIDEO, UN DETALLE EN CASO DE NO RECONOCER NO COLOCAR EL SSD HASTA EL FONDO

[@MA-cy7su]

Puedes explicar "no colocar el Ssd hasta el Fondo" por favor.

[@AzNstat]

Cheers 👍

[@bensd9704]

Have the same issue you had first try with it not reading it in the BIOS, but mine doesn't change 😭

[@marvelous9174]

Did you make sure the gold pins are in all the way, or that the bios is updated, or that the board can take the same SSD?

[@kenzogodd]

Can we insert graphic card??

[@marvelous9174]

What pcie gen is the SSD?

[@kevintran7720]

Im doing mine this week im adding two ssd 980 2tb lol 1tb nvm.2 16gb of ram

[@AzNstat]

Nice upgrade. Good luck! How are you fitting two 980s in there? Just out of curiosity.

[@facundobosch]

They should do. Anything older might not. Thanks for the comment 👍

[@paolorossi784]

How long does the battery of this laptop last?

[@AzNstat]

[@paolorossi784]

​@@AzNstat thanks👍

[@swift2117]

Do you leave the old hard drive inside ?

[@AzNstat]

Yes

[@mas-daym]

Could it be upgraded up to 1tb ssd or more?

[@jeffnaval4894]

Yes. Storage size don't matter.

[@ZitroneSS]

The ssd is NVME m.2 right?

[@AzNstat]

Yep

[@zkalimov]

What did you do to make the disk detected in BIOS?

[@AzNstat]

It auto detects but I put bios to default then changed the priority to boot on ssd

[@raghavnt]

ram is ddr3 or 4

Hinge is wher you want to be careful... Doesn't show hinge..

[@hannahrenee9870]

What ram is compatible with this laptop?

[@sspsfivefivefive]

According to Dell website it was up to 8gb but other upgrade websites say 16gb. I've ordered 8 gb (2x4g) to replace what I assume to be 2 x 2gb. x

[@uditchaudhary3015]

does inspiron 15 5000 supports nvme ssd

[@AzNstat]

Yes it does

[@natachapetite1008]

Where did you buy them

Great vid, shame you didn't show us the coconuts, i.e. turning it on from a cold start.
