How to Upgrade Storage (SSD/HDD) on Acer Nitro 5 AN515-57-79TD Laptop | Step by Step

[@youreprettygood2603]

I have the new version of this laptop with the RTX 4060 and i5-12450H and it comes with a cable and screws for the HDD in a small plastic bag in the box, there is even a sticker next to the keyboard that says "M.2 SSD + HDD slots", so Acer definitely encourages you to upgrade it on your own.

[@hachemapex4916]

thnxs for the video ! i would like to ask you about the generation of the ssd that i can use ! what can i use in the first slot and what can i use in the second slot ? thnxs

[@uFixTek]

It's my pleasure my friend. 🫠Regarding your question, you can place a 4th gen NVMe in any of the slots, and it will work perfectly fine. Just note that the 1st slot is Gen 4 and the 2nd slot is Gen 3. If you place a Gen 4 NVMe in the Gen 3 slot, it will run the NVMe as if you installed a Gen 3 SSD. I recommend installing the Gen 4 NVMe in any NVMe slot because if the connection is Gen 3, your SSD will not be stressed and will last longer since it will only operate at Gen 3 specifications and not be pushed to the maximum as Gen 4. Should you have any further questions or requests in the future, please don't hesitate to ask me. cheers🍻

Thanks for the video. I have a Nitro 5 and i purchased a 1tb 2.5 SSD drive. I want to remove the M2 drive and install only the 1tb drive. But when I do this, and the laptop turns on, it says no bootable device, and it won't allow me to change the boot order in the bios. If you can help me with this, ill be glad to pay you via USDT or another form of payment that works for you. Looking forward to hearing back from you.

[@uFixTek]

🫠 Regarding your question, if you replace the M.2 SSD with a 1TB 2.5" SSD, you'll need to know that the 1TB SSD is empty and doesn't have Windows installed. You have two options: 1. Install Windows from a USB boot drive (link in the video description). 2. Install the 1TB 2.5" SSD, boot into Windows without removing the M.2 SSD, download a cloning program, and clone the M.2 SSD to the 2.5" SSD. Once the cloning is finished, power off the system and remove the M.2 SSD. Note: The M.2 NVMe SSD is much faster and better than a 2.5" SSD. You can install an NVMe SSD of up to 4TB, which is recommended. Should you have any further questions or requests in the future, please don't hesitate to ask me. Cheers 🍻

[@jaspermiller1946]

I bought a 22 pin Sata SSD. The adapter i just bought has the right 12 pin motherboard adapter, but the SSD connector is only a 16 pins for the 22 on the SSD. Is that ok or is it not going to work/ or not work as well?

[@uFixTek]

Thank you for your feedback! If you wish to support the channel, you can like, subscribe, or do both! Regarding your question about the SSD 2.5" drive, if you have acquired a 2.5" SSD and are in search of the correct adapter, I would highly recommend counting the pins on the motherboard's connector. Ensure you identify the exact pin count and obtain an adapter with the matching pin count. Using an adapter with the wrong pin configuration can short the 5V line and potentially damage the motherboard. Should you have any further questions or requests in the future, please don't hesitate to ask me. cheers🍻

[@jaspermiller1946]

So the motherboard pin count is correct. The motherboard is 12 and the attachment is 12 on the adapter. It's the female to SSD that does not match

[@uFixTek]

If you want to preserve Windows, programs, and everything else while changing both SSDs, you'll need to replace the main SSD with one of the same capacity or higher. Before installing it, you will need to get an NVMe to USB adapter, connect the new SSD via the USB adapter, and download a cloning program like Macrium Reflect. Clone the main SSD (Windows) to the new SSD using this program. Once the cloning is done, simply open the laptop, replace the drives, add the new NVMe M.2 and the 2.5" drive, and power it on. It will start Windows like nothing happened, but with the new drives installed.
