I followed your video step by step and it worked flawlessly! I was a little nervous swapping my hard drive but with your clear instructions it was smooth as silk! Thank you!

To the new techie's, an old trick to make sure your do not double thread the tiny screws is to 1 put the screw in the screw hole 2 using the hex screw driver slow rotate the screw driver Backwards like you are removing the screw 3 you should feel a slight snap from the screw and this means you have dropped the screw to the thread in the hole. 4 now you may drive the screw Forward and it should turn easily and screw in

This video came at the right time and it's just what I need! Thanks a lot :)

Nicely Done. SSD's offer the following benefits for laptops over hdd's - runs cooler - uses less power which lets the battery last longer per charge , better shock resistance , are silent in operation , are lighter , has better reliability. Besides changing to an ssd - If you can adding more ram and faster ram to the maximum that the laptop can support. All of these upgrades will let you keep tha laptop even longer. I made both of the above cahnges to an older laptop that my mom had and it made the laptop run better then when it was new.

You did a wonderful job on this tutorial explaining how to bring life back to an old laptop. In 2011, I swapped out my old 250gb hard drive for a 500gb hybrid ssd. Just that upgrade made a real difference. Before that, I had upgraded my motherboard, computer processor chipset, and ram. Now! I’m upgrading from my old hybrid ssd to a 1TB ssd in order to make my old HP DV4 laptop even faster, more current and more responsive too. I’m really not much of a fan of these new laptops which are very flimsy while one is only able to make an upgrade, or two. Again, thank you for a wonderful tutorial!

I believe you should really consider upgrading your laptop. Any moment now a componenet or a wire may just simply fail and you'll lose everything. If you're going to continue upgrading then there will be no use since it will be held back by the old CPU or the low amount of RAM.

@@Covid-bv4hp TY! I actually have 8gb of Ram on mine and I have it backed up on my older external 500GB Hybrid SSD. Also, I have no problem repairing and soldering electronic components either. I really don’t use my laptop to play games so that’s really not a problem. I have a Galaga 88 countercade which I upgraded. Many of these new laptops might have the speed, but they are limited by their lack of storage capacity.

Well done-- concise. and to-the-point. Good tips about transfer from the existing drive, and the need for a USB-SATA adapter/cable. Those with an older SATA2 system bus will not see the dramatic improvement you enjoyed with a SATA3 bus, but the project is still worth doing. BTW-- consider upgrading the RAM, as well. Even a small increase can benefit over-all performance.

Before upgrade your hard drive, create a USB recover drive. It takes less than 5 minutes to reload and install Windows 10. Windows 10 requires 4 G RAM min, but it is better to install at less 8 G RAM or more.

I always cross my fingers and pray for the best after putting back a laptop

great video. thank you so much for posting this. I will be updating my Dell Latitude E5530 with this soon! God bless!

Thanks mate, my laptop is a new machine now. Great tutorial man

Been considering this for awhile. I have an older i3 machine that was originally bought as a Win8 machine that I took to 10 back when that was first released as a free upgrade. It works fine for the light work I ask of it, but at 6 years old now, I know that drive is going to belly up on me some day. Thanks for the vid

Great tips. I specialise in giving new life to old laptops. First, fit as much RAM as it will take - often more than the manufacturer says. Then search the Intel Ark and buy a top spec New Old Stock CPU from China. Around £25 for what cost £450 new. Then fit a SSD and watch it fly. And you can also replace the DVD drive with a HDD caddy for extra storage using the old hard drive.

Watched this video recently and decided to carry out the same type of upgrade but for my desktop instead. My C: drive was a WD 2tb and there was still a lot of spare sectors available. With this in mind I bought a Samsung 1TB 860 QVO. I used the Samsung migration software to carry out the cloning process, which took five and a half hours, only to fail at 99% complete. Total waste of half a day. The thing there is enough space on the new drive, its just the Samsung software didn't like transfering data from a larger drive to a more efficient smaller SSD. It was quite by chance doing some online research that I came across AOMEI backupper free software which can clone just the sectors used on the source or target drive to a smaller drive. I can't believe how easy the process was, and it only took two and a half hours. If there are any viewers out there in the same situation I would highly recommend AOMEI backupper free software. I am very disappointed with a company as big as Samsung who's software cannot as far as I'm aware carry out the same process as AOMEI.

Before, I would never turn the device off since it would take so long to boot up (I'm pretty sure that's the main reason why the HD ended up failing). The device is from 2011 according to the oldest files (it was handed down to me), and even though I got a new laptop last summer, the computer still worked great the last time I used it (I gave it to my mom).

If that takes much time to boot up. There might be a problem with the OS. A simple OS update might make the boot time a bit quicker.
