It's nice to see an expansion slot on these , even better that doing the job yourself won't void warranty on memory or space expansion...good video buddy

Thank you for being a Real commentator without crass music etc. Was looking to fins if a 2TB NVMe would work and a 16GB stick. Seems some say it has 16GB max. Others say 32GB.

Thank you for the video. Got my Ideapad with Ryzen 5 5500U today and want to upgrade from 8 to 16 GB RAM and 512 SSD to 1TB :-) They are using too much adhesives these days! Lenovo was better some years ago in regards to repairs/upgrades. (esp. the Thinkpads)

Hi..I believe the s145 comes with 128GB SATA SSD. you should be safe to go with 250, 500 or 1TB. you must use a SATA M.2 SSD.

[@catrq6858]

Do you need to destatic yourself before opening it up? I do not want to harm the hardware. And when you upgrade the storage with a new 500gb stick will you need to reinstall everything or can you bring it over?

[@CadillacComputerCenter]

Always protect yourself from static discharge, yes. You can either do clone, or a clean install of Windows.

@-火 It's up to you since you already said that you will use for school,study e.t.c buy this one.I am using it for gaming and in any case you don't need to pay 150 $ more only for the ram as you can upgrade it on this one later if you want to do that for only 70$ as that much will cost you 16 gb of ram.

Where did you get the standoff and the screw for the M.2 SSD? I have looked on amazon and the only ones that I can find are for the ASUS motherboard and it doesn't fit.

yes you can, but maybe you have 4gb soldered thant you can't remove, su you only upgrade the other 8gb to 16gb for a total of 20gb.

How did you get the screws out

I used tweezers, probably not good for the screws tho

I could with the first screws cause pliers but I just gave up after because the next screw is near impossible without a tool. I don’t think I got it to move in the slightest

[@CadillacComputerCenter]

Your boot manager is defaulting to you hdd. As soon as you turn on your laptop, start tapping the f12 key to bring up your boot menu, choose your new ssd to boot from. Having 2 different drives with windows installed is confusing to the windows boot manager. You may have to remove your hdd to force it to boot from your ssd, then put hdd back in.

It's going to always be stuck in useless Windows S mode with the original SSD unless it is booted from an SD card!
