I am so sorry for your loss, may God watch over him and rest in peace. I am still pleasantly surprised by the quality of your videos and your knowledge in this field despite your age. Good luck in the future.

Condolences on your loss Dale, great video…

[@CadillacComputerCenter]

Thank you very much.

[@ipaddy]

Very good video and excellent explanation as normal and can I offer my condolences on the loss of your father

[@andreandre3699]

Love your videos! I got the confidence to open up and upgrade my acer nitro back then because of you! Simple and easy explanations

[@shaunnathanson6905]

I really appreciate you taking the time to post this Dale. I'm a bit of a techTard and have spent the last year plus learning on this computer. I was hesitant to upgrade it until I saw this. I'm now convinced I have an adequate and worthwhile option for making it better. If you could recommend an even better setup of modifications being this video is a year old please feel free to reach back out to me. I'd like to only do this once. Thank you Dale, I hope you have a happy Holiday Season.

Good vídeo dale Thank you for the knowledge you give us I've done a few things with laptops thanks to you And I also sorry for your loss

[@CadillacComputerCenter]

Thank you very much

[@AzygousWolf]

I've never done any laptop or PC upgrades. I own an Acer nitro 5 AN515-57 and this was super informative, thank you for this

[@allalongthewatchtwer]

Thank you for showing Dale, I just discovered your channel and I thought that you could teach me something about repairing computers with your videos. I subscribed, also, it's been some while since this video got posted but I wish you my best condolences.

[@mhannett]

Great video Dale I so wish you were over here in Liverpool UK I have a HP Omen X 17 laptop which will not power up at all and cant seem to find anyone good enough to sort it out.I'm sorry for Your loss and hope grinding out these videos keeps you focused.

[@125mr]

Good machines though can run a bit warm. Nice upgrades 👍

[@michaelc565]

Thanks for the video! I just purchased one of the newest Nitro 5 laptops and will doing some of these same things and it's awesome to see how easy the Acers are to work with! As soon as you touched the back cover I was screaming "you forgot the ram" (but in all caps)! The battery was also still disconnected when you threatened to pull the cord because "the battery is full."

[@playerone8876]

Could you put the factory 512 SSD in the 2nd slot and have both?

[@XxnosmanXx]

Thanks for sharing so I can do this myself. Bought a new Nitro 5 and upgraded the ram and PCIe to the Samsung Pro 980. It’s a great laptop but now it’s friggin awesome 👏

[@oldradioguy65]

So sorry for your loss. God bless

[@adammassingale7075]

I always forget to put either the ssd back in or the ram and have it all back together and then have to take it back apart

[@rdeen86]

Very helpful video - I haven't opened up a laptop or pc in 12 years so was very nervous to updgrade my Acer Nitro! I've just ordered my SSD and DDR4s... man's going to be busy this weekend.

[@rdeen86]

btw Dale, if you do see my comment - I would like to throw in a SATA drive and move my OS into that with essential softwares only (like Office, Chrome, etc.) and leave the SSDs for gaming and graphics/video software. Would you recommend this? Appreciate feedback from others reading this. Thanks!

[@joseantonioperez8273]

Hey Dale I´ve just got a new Nitro 5 AN515-58 and because of your video I learnt how to install my old Asus ROG 2.5" HDD properly to my new laptop and it is running very fast, I hope I'll be installing a 1Tb SSD next tuesday thanks for sharing your expertise in the subject, regards from Mexico City God bless you and your family

[@markb.6177]

Dude! Thank you!!!!

[@gwugluud]

The repair place told me it’s impossible to clone one drive to another. That leaves me a little lost. They do good work and def know what they’re doing when I needed a cleanup and more RAM added. And other work I’ve had done before. I’m confused.

[@pinchejamon8906]

Great video boss!

[@Current900]

here in July 2024, prayers to your father and condolences on your loss, i hope you're well.

[@thegambler-r8h]

condolences thanks for the video.

[@Brian_Gonzales]

This thing started off good for me but after like a week with it, everything goes so slow and i get a random black screen that lasts like 5 seconds before going back to normal. Now it's to the point i need to pray and hope today my laptop isn't laggy which is stupid that i need to worry about that on a new laptop

[@Fustercluck101]

Two things. 1: amazing video. Clear and precise and you’re clearly very knowledgeable 2: I see Samsung magician. Where do I download the data migration program you use? I don’t see it specifically listed on their website. They say you can migrate through Magician

[@anag99]

It’s now part of the Samsung Magician software. It's a tab on the left menu, "Data Migration". Click that and click the old hard drive on the top tab to switch to the original hard drive. It should show the old hard drive info and the start button.

[@robpet4424]

Don't worry ..... it's just a senior moment.......

[@robhalter]

Great videos, Sorry for your loss of your father.

[@dredre9484]

Love my nitro 5 but hate the battery or battery management so I leave the power cord connected

[@alcyrona28]

thank you for this tutorial. 👍

[@1982Clarkey]

Morning Dale, I have a nitro 5 an517-51 with 16GB and ~250gb SSD I want to upgrade it to 32gb and more storage but I’m unsure if I can just buy another 16GB ram and slot it in or if I’d have to buy 2 of the same 16gb ram? Also would you upgrade anything else while I’m at it?

[@dredre9484]

Have you seen the m.2 memory to 2.5 sdd adaptor if so can you do a video on it please😮

[@tittentei7331]

Hey. Nice video. I have a Acer Nitro 5 2022 with ryzen5 6600H and 140w 3060 6gb. I can only use two m.2 ssd and not 2.5 disk. I have 16gb ddr5 4800 ram. Can i update ram to ddr5 5600 or 6000 MHz? You got a new sub🙂 And should i put my 1tb wd sn850 1tb in the main m.2 slot and the 512 gb in the second slots like you did? Or have i two 4 gen slots maybe? I dont find out that. AN515-46-R7J3 is my modell.😊

[@m0gga]

Great informative video, thanks for sharing. Could you please tell me if it is possible to upgrade a nitro 5 core i5 CPU to a core i7. I recently toasted my CPU by sending 25v into t he USB port when working with an Arduino CNC shield by inserting the motor driver backwards 😥. I have now bought a new Nitro 5 but rather than throw out the old one I may get the processor replaced either for an i5 or if possible an i7. Or do you think that there may be many other blown components on the MB? Thank you.

[@ChaniTsunami229]

I was using a different tutorial before yours and I popped the RAM out before doing anything with the power supply. I put the new RAM in just right, but now it won’t power up. Did I fry my system?

[@jafaralshalabi8715]

Thank you for the video, and i am sorry for your lose. i want to ask you.. after i do every thing you did can't i put the factory 512 ssd in the 2nd slot So that way i will have 2.5tb m.2 ssd and the 980 pro samsung will be for windos and rendering programs and the factory one will be for data and else ?

[@Mr.Vtec326]

So just to clarify if I want to just simply add the Samsung drive and also keep my factory ssd can I just put it in that slot without cloning

[@datingsignals8851]

I have the same model. I use it for D-jing....A common problem with these is the sound card/drivers...Every time a windows upgrade occurs, I lose sound and have to re-install the drivers which is a constant pain. Do you know of a permanent fix for this so the sound drivers are not affected by upgrades?

[@Nobodyfrom2003]

Do you have to copy the SSD? Or can you leave the old one plus the new one in the second slot to combine the storage and speed?

[@glenblanton250]

Question. I have the same laptop, but it has the I5. Will the I7 motherboard fit in the same case? Also Mine is starating to over heat. In the past I notice that the video card is the culperit and from my experience the computer will crash. I found the I7 motherboard but I just want to ensure it fits in the same case. Should I replace the fans as well?

How did you deal with ram slowing to 2933 when both slots are used up? one slot will run at 3200, but as soon as you use both it slows to 2933. Did you overcome that at all?

[@sheepster70]

My Nitro is the same, bought 2 16gb 3200Mhz ram to replace the standard single 8gb 3200Mhz, And they show running at 2933Mhz as well.

[@ForMyOwn_1]

You need to install a clean windows 11 into the new ssd. If you decide to remove the old storage drive

Does the Acer Nitro 5 AN515-58-57Y8 have device encryption on windows 11? I can't find it if it does. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
