Hey Chaps! What Laptop are you using right now? (and will you upgrade soon) 🤔

7:18 a computer is only as fast as it's slowest component
That's a great line!

40-second boot times before the upgrade? I'm jealous

My laptop is 15 years old, I’m sure it was used to help construct the pyramids 🤔

He's not exaggerating. I usually watch movies on my phone while my ASUS boots. It looks exactly like the ASUS on this video too 🤔

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

Its so funny watching this video 3 years in the future and seeing how much has changes since then

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.

Just done! Worked like a charm!
Instead of minutes, starting up takes only seconds!
By upgrading memory to 8GB and SSD, this laptop has never been this fast not even when brand new.

Great for the environment and my pocket :)

Thanks a lot!

My dad has (what appears to be) the same laptop, except his has 8Gb of RAM and an i5, and recently told him to upgrade the hard drive since it was so slow. It's night and day. It was unusable, but now it's actually a nice computer to use.

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!

[sijokxavier]

Great video. Covered everything from removal of hardware, transfer software to even what to do with the old hard disk. That's what I love about your video. Good planning, good flow, very useful. Thanks a lot the video. 👏

It would be great if you could make a video of short stroking for hard disks too. I know it is way outdated.

[stanleybowman-hood]

What’s also good about this is the old hdd can be used for backups or in a desktop as extra storage

[frostieff]

it would be interesting to see a small compilation of experiments done on how much they improve on old laptops from like 2013

I just got my ssd...popped it into my laptop ...and it was literally 10x faster....no seriously no joke...this is the single best upgrade u can give a pc

[uktech]

So glad you mentioned the anti static strap. 👍🏼

I cannot tell you how happy i am right now. This may be 4 years old but it was my last shot before buying a new laptop. All in all this has cost me £78 to boost my laptop beyond belief. Excellent video and advice. Most straight forward video I have found on this subject, anywhere on YouTube. Thank you

Btw my laptop is an ASUS N56V and is probably 13 years or older now.

I'm using an Alienware M11X, 2nd Gen i5. Have just installed a new battery, and about to switch to SSD, and upgrade the RAM.
10 years old and still running strong lol

I have been going back and forth about doing this to my laptop. Watching this, I think I'm going to make the jump. Very informative video! Thank you!
