If your new ssd is pre-initialized, an additional step is required in disk utility: show all devices and erase an entire device to implement GUID partition scheme. Otherwise there is only pre-created volume is visible and you can not change from mbr to guid

Thanks for the clear and concise instructions :) I just got my first Macbook Air after decades of being a Windows user and your guide helped out immensely !

Wow, thank you Charlie! Everything you need to know and nothing you don't. I'm very appreciative of the efficient, and informative video.

Best guide I ever found on KZread so far. Kudos to you mate!

This is a BRILLIANT detailed video !! I’ve watched many but this is the easiest to follow !! 👏👏

Really liked the fact that you waited a week to upload to see if it works fine, nice one

This is the most detailed step-by-step I've found! Thank you!!

I went into this with some skepticism because tutorials are often misleading or out-of-date, or something. But, I went ahead and ordered the nvme SSD and adapter from Amazon. I thought for certain something along the way in this video was going to be off, or wrong, or mixed up, or out-of-date, or mismatched. BUT, I have to say this worked to an f'n T. This tutorial is so clear, easy to follow and with perfect pace. I wish all tutorials could be this accurate. I had absolutely no issues whatsoever from back up on Time Machine, installing the OS to a usb drive, install of the SSD, reinstalling the OS and all of my files. Thank you so much and keep up the great work.

Hey Charlie! This video tutorial was PERFECT! I've been looking to do everything you've showed how to do here on my 2017 MacBook Air for years. Creating the OS install drive was what I never would have figured out on my own. I did happen to use MacOS Monterey and the entire process was flawless. Your step by step instructions were clear and easy to follow. While I was swapping out the drive, I ended up also removing the fan and heatsink, cleaning them and re applying thermal paste to the CPU and diode before putting it all back together. As I said, this process was easy and ended up being perfect. You've definitely earned a subscriber! Thank you!

Thanks a lot for the detailed video. I just updated my MacBook Air(2015) following exact the same steps, and it works like a charm, no issue at all. I replaced the SSD with 1T WD Blue SN570, with an adaptor and screw drivers bought from Amazon. I used SD card(with USB reader) instead of flash drive. It works fine except it's kind of slow. I also restored previous backup AFTER installed new MacOS(using Migration Assistant) without problem. The current OS is Monterey, and it also has no problem to follow exactly the same steps. One thing I learned is you must use the right tool to remove the tiny screws on the back....

Excellent. Everything worked exactly as you taught, BUT after as I went to install MacOS after renaming the new hard drive, it said that I couldn't continue unless I had the "journal extended." So, if anyone has the same problem, what I did was I went back to disk utility and selected the new hard drive and clicked "erase" and then was prompted to rename the hard drive (which I kept the same) and where it says "GILD" you must click that drop down menu and choose "Journal Extended" and NOT Gild. Then proceed to installing it on new hard drive. Should install after that.
