Just replaced my Ram, this video stopped me having to send it to a shop, it was difficult and very fiddly, but I got there with your help,thank you so much 👍👍👍

Thank you sir. !!! Was scared all the way through but felt confident with your coaching.

Hi Sir, I just want to thank you for this video, as I was able to disassemble and reassemble this computer to upgrade my memory, storage, re-paste the heatsink, replace the fan, and clean out any extra dust. Thank you!

Great video. Wouldn't know where to put my hands without your video. Thanks a lot! I just don't understand why MSI makes it so complicated. My laptop didn't turn on after finishing the upgrade, then I find out one little flat cable hadn't been inserted properly. Then still didn't turn on, then just plugged the power cable and the thing was on like magic. What a happy moment! Haha Will definitely don't do an upgrade again on an MSI. Ever! lol

You were right, it is pretty complicated (more of a hassle than technically complex). It's too bad they didn't design it to have better access for those upgrades. I have a bulging battery I need to replace as well as upgrade my SSD. This will make my life much easier. Thanks!

Nice to see your good dog Millow make an appearance. This upgrade was nice to see - it took like a complete disassembly to get the job done.

Hi. Yeh, these are intense upgrades. Done a few of them. The dog likes hanging out at the shop with us. Dale

Massive help to me upgrading to 32gb today. Thanks!

Thanks for this video! I haven’t built a computer in years and was really nervous about taking the whole motherboard out to get to the SSD and RAM. Saw this video in a search and upgraded everything yesterday. Thanks again!

@@CadillacComputerCenter Just in case anyone does this upgrade and the computer doesn’t turn on after reconnecting the battery, plug the power supply in the first time you turn it on. Works normally on battery power after that. Scared myself for a second 😂

@@rbess1982 I had so much hope reading your comment when I saw my laptop wouldn't turn on after changing my only 8 Go RAM by 2x16 Go RAM but unfortunately it didn't change even though I redid whole the process and tried plugged in this time 😥 Any other idea what I could do wrong?

WOW. the MSI is infinitely more tedious to upgrade than the Razer Blade which was a cinch and took only a few minutes. No way am I comfortable upgrading the MSI myself - that's why there are people like you :) Thanks for the video and confirming my suspicion as to how tedious this one would be.

Actually my msi gaming laptop was waaay easier than that. I added 32 gig ram an extra 1 tb ssd. That is an unusual msi. Mine is a 65 tho

My brother have me a Msi stealth pro gs63vr since when I bought my titan GT80S it was 1 week before the 10 series GPU. After seeing this video. I'm glad to be able to upgrade my titan without taking it apart much. Was going to transfer the m2 from the titan to the stealth but I think I'll just use the stealth for work.

So tricky Laptop. What a massive job you did. The Dog carefully watch all to be sure you're doing a brilliant job. It's the boss. 😉. The Cameraman helped you a lot this time. A good boy.

Lovely walkthrough, thanks for sharing your knowledge. Recently purchased a new NVME SSD for my GS63 and boy I am not looking forward to that process. Fully agree, MSI does not seem to like us upgrading our devices. Just opened mine, but looks like the adhesive under my battery is much more resistant than on the device in the video.. Currently wondering if I can get away with leaving the battery and being even more conscious about connectors...

Thanks for your walkthrough. Mine did not post or even power up during the upside-down test. Took it back apart repeated everything still the same. No power. Thought-- "Let's hookup the power supply!" Bam. Started right up. Installed: Crucial 32 gb dd4-3200 ct2k16g4sfra32a Samsung 870 Pro 2tb nvme m2 ssd model mz-v8p2t0 Was little worried as the old drive is the 2 tooth m+b key and the new one is the single m key. Likewise the memory is higher-end. But showed compatible when I looked it up. Samsung magician reports sequential read at 3472 MB/sprite at 3233 MB/s and random read at 482421 IOPS write at 159912 IOPs. Thanks again!

Thank you for the video. Quick question. How about the temperature of the laptop after installing NVME SSD? Is the temperature increase significantly or it is just the same as before you installing NVME SSD? Thank you for your response.

Hello Dale I started this upgrade and yellow protective wrap over the connections fell on the floor where does one get that product?

damn engineers. should of put it on top side!!! im sure there is a reason it's there. thanks for video!

I wonder if the NVME drive will thermal throttle in that laptop? I'm thinking of adding one to my GP73, which just might have room for a low profile heat sink...

I'm actually working on my brother's msi gs63vr stealth tomorrow! I'm doing an SSD upgrade to a 1tb nvme skhynix ssd. I also want to replace the thermal paste. Do you remove the 4 screws holding the heatsink in place?

GREAT VIDEOS

Instead of having a Hard Drive can I do all SSD drives?

i’m watching this video to upgrade my unit’s SATA HDD to a SATA SSD. I drained the battery beforehand, and while following along with the disassembly, it appears that all I need to do in my use case is to disconnect the SATA ribbon from the MOBO and remove the Hard Drive, move the SATA ribbon from the old drive to the SSD, and place it all back in, reconnecting the ribbon back to the motherboard. I also disconnected the battery for safe measure. Is there any reason I’d need to remove the MOBO or battery, etc, for what I’m doing, or is that just for M.2 NVMe upgrades?

Thank you for this. It was too out of my comfort zone so took mine to a store to upgrade SSD, HDD and install new RAM, with all the parts bought myself. A few days later I go to pick it back up, and the store told me the RAM was DOA (didn't even call me so I could get a replacement), the SSD clone failed, and they installed Windows 11 without my permission to boot. Why did the clone fail, and is that standard PC repair store practice? Feel cheated.

Holy cow. I was thinking of upgrading the laptops Ssd. I’ll just leave it as is. Cuz holy shit

Hi, is it possible to change the whole keayboard? When I opened it up it felt like it was sealed (melted plastic) so it looked impossible but maybe you have another opinion? Thanks

Hello. some m.2 ssd may not be detected in the msi notebook when it get restart. Did the Samsung 970 EVO work properly?

Do I need to do a data transfer if my computer won't work because of the SSD? Is it possible to install the SSD by itself?

Around how much would a shop charge to do this?

I was going to change just the ssd ... after seeing how much difficult it's to do it , i m going to change the ram too ! i won't dare doing this twice

I can't get full performance. I want change PCle Gen 3.0 x2 to PCle Gen 3.0 x4. How can i change this ?

I like the manner you describe all the parts of the laptop (concerning hardware and other parts, e.g) and the whole assembling process. I own a MSI Modern 15-A11MU 15.6" FHD (i7-1165G7/8GB/512GB SSD) model since January 2022 and I have only upgraded its RAM system, by adding a 8GB RAM card. Now I will add a Samsung SSD 980 Pro I bought a month ago and I will replace the battery with a new one I had ordered and it arrived to me 2 weeks ago. I want to clone the data (windows, software etc) of the main SSD of the laptop to the new SSD. The MSI Modern model I own has many similarities to the MSI Stealth Model (I think it is a great laptop) you own, concerning its parts, but it's easier to disassemble/assemble it, to replace its battery and add SSD. I don't have to disassemble and reassemble all these parts, in order to place SSD etc in the opposite surface of my laptop, but I have to add it in the main surface of its motherboard. Thanks again for your video and your meticulous description of the process. Love the dog in the middle of the duration of the video and in 38:30...hehe😂

Im trying to figure out what size m.2 it takes?

That IO board that you call "Bad boy" Mine is damaged what is it called even on ebay i dont see it and finding it on amazon or newegg seems to be a nightmare please tell me what is that things part number or something? respectfully

I installed the following memory but it didn't work, it was fixed after I put the old memory back. Is it the right type or not? Just going to return it, not tearing this thing apart a 3rd time. F4-3200C22D-32GRS

I turned it on but I don’t get anything on the screen. It’s been ten minutes and nothing. I checked all the connections are in correctly. Not sure why else to do.

What if you just want to upgrade the ram? Do you still need to disconnect everything and not just the battery + motherboard?

Hi. If your just upgrading ram, you really should disconnect your battery. Then push power button couple times. If your careful, you can change the ram. Be very careful though. Dale

Hi. I have not tried 64gb in this specific model, 32, yes. Manufacturers tell ALL the time that certain models will only support x amount of ram, 95 percent of the time they are wrong. It's to difficult to open this model up, I would just try it. Keep in mind, it may take a minute or so to post with the new ram that is normal. Dale
