I used to always upgrade my desktops, but haven't upgraded a laptop yet. This video does a great job of showing me what I need to know before I open the back

[@juliawhitby4818]

I have this laptop, it's really very well laid out inside I must say. I upgraded my ram myself, and now looking to upgrade it further and also upgrade my SSD.

[@BuffaloC305]

One trick is... lay out a sheet of paper. Place all screws onto areas of the paper relative to their spacing/location on the laptop. Some screws need to be longer to fit 'thru' several pieces on the plastic case; others need to be quite short so they only attach a single device or layer. There might be 3-4-5 difference sizes based on length and diameter, so I am careful about laying out screws on that sheet of paper. (Better yet, a hand-towel so they can't roll around or slip here or there.) There is no technology that changes more than the Wifi card, and there is a new AX'7' series being delivered. This computer is showing a Series 5 installed, and they are recommending the good AX211 - but it's still only AX6-generation. Definitely pay attention to the CNVio FORMAT option, too. When I get 4tb M.2 cards for 'drive C:', I know Drive C's can only be max-formated to 2tb or less. That leaves some unformatted capability. I recommend a 512gb or 1tb C: Drive format, and use the rest as a Drive D: supplemental data drive. THEN jam the biggest possible SATA SSD (8tb, currently) as Big Storage.

Focus on the side and HDMI port on the back. Simply slide them into and align them well with the cover holes. Then push the cover back from the back to the front. (technically the opposite direction of the disassembly) Putting everything back is less stress to the plastic cover so should not be an issue.

You are right and will update in the video description. Intel 9462NGW is CNVio and AX201/AX211 cards are CNVio2 cards. CNVio2 cards are NOT backward compatible. So in that case your best module can be AC 9560.

Can be several factors. (Are you playing on 2.4GHz or 5Ghz?) The router Antennas aligned properly, have sufficient signal strenght? Check the router Wifi channel also. Maybe you are in a crowded noisy enviroment. There are simply so many factors which can effect the WiFi signal. But as you mentioned, sure the internal adapter can be an issue as well. Hope I could help. :)

I have the same laptop, if the laptop comes with 8GB 2666 DDR4 ram, is it okay for me to upgrade it to 3200 DDR4 32GB (2 sticks at 16GB each with 3200mhz speeds each stick) without any issues?

If it came with a 2666 DDR4, than better get 2x16 with 2666MHz too. Bot sure if the BIOS is support the 3200 in your machine, so better be safe. Also even if it will work, it might "downgrade" the RAM speed to 2666 anyway, so might not worth the extra money for a faster module. As of size, you are good to go till 64GB.
