Huge respect for not only offering to do this for customers, but also for showing everyone HOW to do it themselves!

[joncruz]

You really don’t necessarily need to remove to both drives if you don’t have 2 enclosures. Install everything on your legion then use this software to clone it to the new drive connected to it this way is also faster

[cpaek]

You can clone it first without removing and then just swap if you want to go faster.

I’ll be doing this upgrade as soon as I get my Legion Go.
Great Video!

[fortunado]

This may be one of the most clear and easy to follow tutorial videos I’ve ever seen on YouTube. Please, more of this! I used to live near a Microcenter, please come to Austin, TX! Lower competition since our Fry’s closed. :) #iwantamicrocenternearme

Perfect timing for new owners of the Legion Go!

i just upgraded my legion go by myself and i haven't done anything like this ever. so i was kinds scared of breaking someting. but i did it, thanks to this video.
unfortunatly i did not find a 2242. but i did find a 2230. so i had to buy a extender for it aswell. but everything works.
now to find out witch games i want to instal on it.
ive been playing cyberpunk 2077 on it for the past week. and i love that it can play it. even though it is on low settings. but still. pretty awesome.
as a truckdriver i am away from home alot. so i cant really play on my pc. this lenovo legion go is one of my best purchases i did.
also, i live in the netherlands and we don't have any micro centers here. so i had to do it myself. also my to go tech company did not want to do it for me, even they said is was to risky.

Picked mine up today, and went with the 2 TB option since it was cheaper than getting the 512 and doing it myself . It's an amazing device, just a heads up to put the Software keyboard option in the taskbar for easier access to it.

Been shopping at microcenter since 1998. Best place ever. Like a kid in a candy store. Thnak you guys.

Its nice that they offer this and show how. But it feels a step backwards from the steam deck image download, and the rog auto cloud download for a new image.

[robbritton]

I just followed these steps and it was very easy, thanks for such a detailed video. I bought 2 USB-C enclosures to do the job and managed to clone the full 512GB SSD in 44 minutes. Including the clone, it took just over an hour to do it.

1. Man comes in.
2. Gives clear service and safety instructions for opening device and removing the SSD.
3.teaches you how to clone your disk without jumping any steps.
4.shows how to put back the device in tells you why you should use provided stickers.
5.shows the device working again.
6.shits on call of duty on goes out.

10/10 video it's a masterpiece.

Big ups pimpin, I have the 1tb model but I'm beyond excited to see people push this amazing tech waay past its limits

[joefitz]

I would LOVE a MicroCentwr near me in South Korea. It would do so well here. Possibly also consider international shipping. I was able to buy the upgraded legion go from you guys I would, and then have it shipped to South Korea.

[MrTekSuggest]

I like what you guys are doing for the Lenovo Legion Go. Nice work! I’m curious to learn of future device mods for 2280 SSD’s.

This is such a helpful tutorial, please can we have a Microcenter in the UK? Microcenter looks so much better than our PC markets!

[TerraFlareKSFL]

Thank you for making this video. I look forward to purchasing and owning this amazing handheld pc❤ Im sad there's no Micro Center store in Puerto Rico 😢 We have a best buy at least. The videos i've seen of the MicroCenter stores make it look like the adult version of Toyrs r Us.

Surely much easier to install macrium on the Legion Go and then clone the disk with it still in situ. Only need one adaptor and less hassle

[CullenPC]

Thanks for the Macrium tips, very helpful. You can do it with one USB drive though. I just connected my new drive directly to the legion go, installed macrium on there, and cloned it. Took 12 minutes.

I wish I had a micro center near me :(
