Lenovo G50-80 SSD & RAM upgrade - Double the RAM & Storage

Lenovo G50-80 Laptops RAM SSD and Internal storage with Acer SA100 SSD, Alketron 4Gb DDR3 1600Mhz RAM and a generic CD drive Caddy like NISIN DAHSHA STORITE.

Preparations needed for this upgrade are very simple all you need to do is to check the RAM specifications of your Laptop using the CPUZ software and make sure your windows is updated. Once done you can start the process. You can install the new SSD in CD drive caddy as well if you wish but in some laptops the CD Drive SATA port is of slow speed so it does not work at full performance so we installed in the original HDD position.

For RAM just push the hinges outside and RAM will POP open and then you can install the new RAM into the SLOT keeping the notch aligned. once done then you can install the OLD HDD into the drive caddy and slide it inside as the CD drive.

All 3 words done then you can use the NOVO switch (just push it for a second using a pen or sim tool and you will enter the BIOS menu) here you will see the newly installed ACER SA 100 SSD and also the system will show you ram as 8GB. Now you can do 2 things a fresh OS install into the Acer SSD or close a OS from your OLD HDD which is already in the system using cloning software like Macrium reflect or the easus.

once done you can start enjoying the boosted high performance of your laptop. Hope you find the video helpful and if you like the stuff do subscribe to our channel thanks a lot.

This is such a nostalgic thing for me. This laptop gave me many good memories of playing games like Halo, stanley's parable, need for speed 2012, assassins creed 3, 4 and rogue, telltale games. I was 15 back when my dad bought it for some office work of course, I didn't let him do anything on it. My cousin installed steam for me on it. Although it was a potato through and through, I took every last drop of fps that intel hd 4400 could muster up. It started my passion for gaming. Although I now have a maybe 20 times more powerful pc now, it just isn't the same anymore.

Great video thanks! I have a Lenovo G50-80 currently running windows 10. If I replace the hard drive, would you suggest installing windows 11 or just clone what I have? I just ordered memory Capacity: 16GB (2 x 8GB), Speed: DDR3L 1600 (PC3L 12800), CAS Latency: 9.

It is worthless to upgrade your RAM, it will be always locked 800mz because lenovo has locked ram to 800mz in the bios. In order to unlock 1600mz frequency you have first have to unlock advance option and turn on XMP in bios settings and advance option can be unlocked through secret keyboard keys.

Will it also not be a problem to exchange parts of professionals and professionals in a well-known PC and pay a little money for these parts such as hard disk and SSD which are a little more pro this year and in the future? Also powerful PCs that were a few years ago will also have to and possibly be repaired in 2025 and above?
