Lenovo T460 Laptop SSD HDD Upgrade Guide

[@M.O.L.D.EFfects]

thx, I did not notice that little screw.

[@uFixTek]

It's my pleasure my friend. cheers🍻

[@Ronnie1001]

A few days ago, my T460 started to only power up for 1 or 2 seconds, even with the power cord connected, then turn itself off. It did start up correctly one time after I put a different battery pack in, but now it it is back to turning off after 2 seconds, just the keyboard lighting up not the screen. Do you know what causes this? A bad capacitor in the power supply? Any help welcome.

Helpful video! Where is the link to show how to copy the OS to the new drive via the cable you showed?

[@uFixTek]

Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P regarding your question: i would highly highly recommend you not to clone the OS you will get errors and random crashes, we tried many programs and none is 100%. i would recommend fresh install of the windows 10, i made a video on how to create windows 10 usb boot drive: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3XYaZ1ooapgmq8 and i also made a video on how to properly install windows 10 (its different brand but the installation steps are the same , boot menu is F12): kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZywi6x5isalf6M

È quale sarebbe software per clonare hard disk???,non esiste una cosa del genere in descrizione, perché????....

[@uFixTek]

Non ti consiglio di clonare i dischi, perché potresti riscontrare errori improvvisi e riavvii. L'installazione pulita di Windows è più veloce e migliora le prestazioni. SE desideri clonare il disco, hai bisogno di due componenti: un adattatore SSD-USB e un software. Adattatore USB: amzn.to/3MDCMx2 Software: Macrium Reflect Successivamente, devi installare il programma e collegare il nuovo SSD al laptop tramite l'adattatore. Quindi, CLONA l'HDD principale sul NUOVO SSD e, dopo aver terminato, sostituisci l'HDD con l'SSD. OPPURE Se desideri eseguire una nuova installazione di Windows 10: Crea una chiavetta USB di avvio per Windows 10: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3XYaZ1ooapgmq8 Installa Windows 10 usando la chiavetta USB: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKfKmK2ogK97eZI Se hai altre domande, fammelo sapere e cercherò di aiutarti.

[@constantincarare5495]

Grazie mille,in tanto siamo qui, volevo chiederti cortesemente, quanto memoria ram può supportare scheda madre dì un'Thinkpad 460, è sé suporta un'SSD nmv2, è quanto massimo suport dì giga 1 terabait,2 o dì più?, grazie mille in anticipo per l'attenzione e cortesia, un'saluto cordialmente da Italia....

[@uFixTek]

È un piacere aiutarti, per quanto riguarda la RAM puoi verificare la capacità massima della tua RAM guardando questo video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnyoe4ehi9mbarM Abbiamo effettuato l'aggiornamento per 16 GB su questi laptop: 2 x 8 GB, assicurati di trovare una SDRAM DDR3L (la L indica la bassa tensione). kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpbdoaWhmNKLprs Puoi inserire solo un SSD o un HDD da 2,5 pollici, per l'HDD un massimo di 2 TB a profilo basso, e per l'SSD 2,5" fino a 2 TB, e tutti gli SSD hanno lo stesso profilo basso. Ti consiglio di utilizzare un SSD Samsung Evo. Questi laptop non dispongono di uno slot di archiviazione M.2 NVME.

[@sebastianveramorales6523]

@@uFixTek My T460 has a PCIe port for a WWAN card, I've seen some videos on KZbin that use that port to upgrade the storage, but I'm not really sure.

[@uFixTek]

my bad by saying that the laptop don't have PCI-E express or m.2 sata available, i meant it doesn't have an extra available m.2 bay. sure you could remove your WWAN card and tape the antennas cable to prevent shorting and place a "m.2 2242 nvme" in there amzn.to/3fzQ6mL but the you wont have WWAN card.

[@sebastianveramorales6523]

@@uFixTek THANKS A LOT!!!!!!!!. Last question. What is the maximum value that the T460 support?

[@uFixTek]

@@sebastianveramorales6523 2TB is what has been tested, but its a PCI-E lane it can go up to 16TB , but there are no nvme m.2 ssd for 16tb so you good for any TB for now.

Does it remove windows if u change ssd?

[@uFixTek]

Thank you! for the feedback and your support to the channel by SUB :P regarding your question: yes if you remove the old drive and place the new ssd you will loose the windows and everything , because it will be in the old drive. thats why in the video at the end i give you an option to clone your hdd to new ssd using adapter and a simple program, so that way when you replace you have everything the way you had it before.

Can someone help me to remove bios password on my Lenovo T460🥺

[@uFixTek]

you can't remove the password on T series lenovo, the T series lenovo are the high end lenovo and they are designed for security. ThinkPad T Series ThinkPad T Series is the flagship series of the ThinkPad line, with a combination of productivity and security features that make T Series laptops the favorite of business and professional users worldwide. the only way to reset password is to purchase the BIOS chip and another SU chip and so abit of soldering and re-programing.
