How to Install an NVMe or SATA M.2 SSD in a PC

[@louisiannna]

You're a lifesaver. I know next to nothing about PCs, which is probably why I had to buy a 2TB SSD immediately after ordering a custom-built PC with only 512GB SSD rather than the 2TB SSD I had meant to order. I never thought I'd be able to actually do this stuff on my own, but your video was completely straightforward, not intimidating at all, very well explained, and well-paced. Thanks so much :)

make sure the m.2 ur taking out doesn’t have windows installed on it unless your installing it onto the new m.2 drive

[@dawsonsmith3118]

Welcome to the pc community!

[@alexandrorebe6819]

I want to say exactly the same with An Louise. I used to know stuff about pc about 20 years ago. I ordered a pc for my son and I never expected to manage to put an extra ssd NV me on my own. But with your help I did it ! Thank you . Your language was very comprehensive even for foreigners! Greetings from Greece 😊

@@ovuvwevwevweenyetuenwuewue6849so I have 256 Gb Ssd in my pc and I want to put a 1tb in it what all do I need to do like do I need to backup stuff and if so how

[@wellcryptbro]

Feels good doesn't it? & the PC space sure has a 🐇 🕳 of other avenues too. I def contemplated ordering a pre built because it is still a hassle if not experienced/careful, but also allows you to really see under the hood. Like I didnt even realize my motherboard has what, 4 NVMe slots?! I'm building mine atm(finishing it 2nite) w/a 4080 SUPER & i7 13700k. Never used NVMe drives B4. Also got a regular SSD as well

[@TheHangedMan]

Cant believe this expensive SSD didnt come with the one tiny screw to hold it in... would it have KILLED them to include one little screw?!

[@leeken3482]

They were held at gun Point not to give you a screw 😂

[@K9Dari]

Man where do i get the screw because i dont have it either

[@ralfmercado]

I threw the mobo Box along with the screws, good thing my mobo has a heat sink in it

[@iankyllonen13]

I didn't think mine did either then I saw it

[@MedAmynM]

The screws come with the motherboard, sometimes in a small bag inside the box, or like in my case they came screwed in.

[@Lolo7674]

The first video I find that explains the whole process in the simplest way. Some youtubers refer to the bios, most don't even show how to plug the ssd in the socket. Bravo and thanks

[@luislarralde84]

GOOD VIDEO

[@Machinex11]

Thanks a lot - I was concerned at first because my NVMe did not show up as "Unassigned" like yours did - I had to scroll down first. So if there is anyone with a similar issue just scroll down and you will see the unassigned partition. So happy to finally follow a guide where it actually works lol!

God bless you sir i was freaking out thank you very much

[@gopenguin8879]

Followed your instructions and it worked FLAWLESSLY first try. Thank you for making a video without garbage fluff and just the facts.

[@JerryOviedo]

Dude! I’ve changed way too many SSDs but NEVER an NVME. You made it super simple to understand. It took a few minutes to take out the old one and put in the new one! Than you man!

[@ECPUz]

Glad it helped!

[@Nealla30]

THANK YOU!!! My son purchased a Samsung SSD for his gaming laptop and we did not know what to do with it! DONE AND in use! THANK YOU!

[@alexandercavanaugh3587]

Just echoing the other comments here, this video is *the* video for simply adding an SSD to your machine. Clear, concise, and complete.

[@speedy692]

These videos are great. I used to build Pc's years ago but lost touch. Now the technology is so different, these videos help a lot. I'm away to buy a new Pc & am catching up.

[@jackwong5816]

FINALLY! someone shows what to do in the OS after you've physically installed it! thanks!

[@patricfriberg2678]

i was trying to find out how to do all this since im upgrading the system i built almost 5 years ago but... i have adhd and im a bit scatter-brained so i had no idea/didnt remember what i was doing or what i had done to build my computer. this video literally saved my new ssd from being destroyed. My motherboard didnt have the distance plug, so i would have just left the ssd flopping about semi erect (LOL) or just added a screw and bent the ssd, and i would have forgotten to reinstall the heat sink. fixing the partition was the easy part but i am so happy that it was in the video so i could double check how to do it. thank you so much for saving all of us from having to buy more new m2 sticks in the near future.

[@glizzittv4783]

After installing the SSD I was so very confused on why it wasnt popping up, thank you for helping me fix that simple mistake that could've costed me my whole computer!

[@gre8tness94]

YOU ARE THE MAN! I swear I put my M.2 in my PC and then check my GB and didn’t see anything new. I was gonna install different things to fix this problem. Thank you very much !

[@esteemedyams]

I'm always 1 step away from a heart attack anytime I have to fix or upgrade something on my PC, but videos like this always make it seem straightforward and easy a little less scary. Thanks, my new SSD is up and running, and I didn't need to take the whole thing to the shop!

[@andreicomua]

After installing my brand new Fikwot/Jupiter FX991 M.2 SSD 2TB NVMe SSD M2 2280 PCIe Gen 4x4 I was so confused when my ASUS laptop didn't show the new SSD memory installed and started worrying if I even installed my SSD correctly? But after watching YOUR video I am happy again!! Amazingly simple and clear video guide! Thank you very much, Good Man!

[@officialspek7670]

Highly detailed guid definitely subscribing I can’t lose a golden channel like this

[@MikeOscarEcho]

Got my 2TB nvme installed and set up easily thanks to this video. Appreciate the clarity of the content!

[@JohnDL212]

Great tutorial. Thank you. It always amazes me how small the M.2 drives are when you take them out of the box. Such an improvement over the old technologies.

[@CringelordJen]

such a save you did by leaving this up, people like you with lil tutorials like these are what really helps the most

[@Dark3nedDragon]

You should add a popup saying 'Choose GPT if Windows 11' on screen at 3:30, it gives me and I guess a lot of other people have the same windows message.

Says you made this video 2 years ago but thank you so much for helping me in the year 2024! Really appreciate it!

[@DaPlop]

Dude! Great video! My cousin said he was gonna help me but ended up not being able to and this video just did the work for me and made it so simple. I was super stressed and worried about breaking the PC given the fact I knew nothing about them since I just got into PC gaming. Super thankful and glad for this tutorial thank you and great job brother !

[@nickhayes4519]

Many thanks. I'm new to building a PC and I have just finished but i didn't knew how to install an NVMe SSD so this was very helpful for both the first and as a recap for the second as I had upgraded my graphics card and needed another NVMe SSD for backup.

[@krwalks1700]

If anyone’s running into the issue of not having a screw on hand, if you have a spare PS4 controller on hand the screws holding the casings might be the right fit for your screw mount, I was lucky enough for it to work so hopefully it works for you lol

Watched this pretty thoroughly, then still got confused as my mounting screw came out, then checked motherboard and eventually saw that I had to remove the small screw and put the mounting screw back on before mounting the drive. Ah the joys of being human... Stoked for my new m.2 SSD! :D
