I just changed my HDD to a SSD 870 EVO following this steps for the same laptop, it’s indeed faster, thanks a lot.

By far the best instruction I have seen out of at least 9 - 11 videos that I've watched. My laptop is very similar. 14" version and I actually am sitting here having purchased the same SSD yesterday. I did make the recovery stick today. Great detailed steps here. Bought another RAM chip to stick in the empty slot I have. I see you have two, probably 8G each.

what RAM component? is it universal, the sticks? I wanna make sure they are compatible with my own. I have the same build. "15-cc563st"

My upgrade went as per your demo except the recovery step process failed at about 10%. I was able to hook up the old HD via a USB housing and clone it to the SSD. Everything works great and the PC is nice and "snappy fast". :) Thank you very much for posting this. Fantastic demo.

Damn man I have opemed up so many laptops and this one stumped me for a while......thank you for making what SHOULD be a powerful laptop, actually that. Ive had 100% disk use for too long and now it is finally the machine I always needed it to be.

Thanks for taking time to document this. The opening case part was extremely helpful!

Thank you so much for this video. I followed it to the tee, and now my laptop is a beast. I could not be happier, thank you again!

Very well done. I have installed SSDs in PC towers but never a laptop... Big help for me. Much appreciated. Thank you.

Great video and exactly what I was looking for. The back on my laptop didn't come off nearly as easily as your video showed and I may have given up if I didn't see your video. Thank you so much!

Taking apart a similar but not indentical HP laptop and your video helped me with those screws hidden under the feet. Wouldn't have thought to check them myself. This laptop had 1 screw under each of the four feet so had to remove them all. Thanks from Australia. 🦘🐨

Short, Sweet and to the point! Excellent tutorial! Thanks so much for a great job 👌

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! I just received my Samsung 1TB SSD and USB stick to make the recovery OS and popped in the new drive just like your video shows and BOOM....I have a new fast laptop. THANK YOU SOOOOO much. Outstanding job.

Thank you for this! My OEM disk drive was killing performance, to the point I was ready to buy a new laptop. But decided to replace with an SSD after your comments about the OEM drive. Decided right then and there to try an SSD and recover. 100% fixed the issue.

Dude you are a life saver, was replacing my hdd and I followed every single step and it worked god bless

This is exactly the video I was looking for. Absolute legend!

A very helpful video. I have no intention of doing it myself but I love to know what the professionals will be doing when I take it to them. This was clear and easy to follow and showed me that for someone used to doing it there isn't too much they could easily screw up. Also...boy the difference a couple years makes! I'll be getting the 870 EVO 1tb (maybe the 2tb) and also at microcenter it's $65 (2tb is $120)

I have an Hp Pavilion 15-cc023cl and it looks almost like this one. But I followed all your steps and it works like a charm. I really recommend replacing your hdd with an ssd.

I wish you had made this video earlier. I got mine just a few months before you posted this and there were no videos on it at the time. Guess who had to learn the hard way . On the bright side, almost two years later im still in love with it. Still fast as a whistle with no problems. Although Im sure ill need to replace the battery soon.

Thank you for making this video. I followed all the steps and successfully installed ssd drive!!

Clear, right to the point. I like the different angle recording, well done. I just have a small question here. Is it okay if i rely on the partition recovery located in my hard drive instead of making another one on an external drive? ( I couldn't access the "create recovery drive" setting for some reason, it does not open at all)

The SATA ribbon cable is reletively easy to remove from the motherboard, Just lift up on the retaining tab and pull it out. I'd recommend you do this before attempting to pull the harddrive out and disconnecting the main SATA end. Less likely to damage cable/motherboard connector. ;)

Perfect thank you. Thumbnails are great spudgers

It's not a bad device. Our client bought one and we did this, but our client client wished to use Ubuntu and it worked like a charm. Very fast over all for a consumer product.

Hook It Up Ubuntu Linux, it's an open source operating system. I prefer Mint Linux personally but we have a lot of business clients now moving to Linux in their environments given the risks involved with Windows 10 and Intel. Others are having us setup Windows 10 with Linux environments pre-installed that can work with their Linux servers. I can't blame them. It's free and you can study and modify the software itself to meet your needs/wishes. You control your computer again, vs Microsoft controlling your stuff. it's good stuff!
