I upgraded my Dell Inspiron 15, Pentium Silver laptop from a 500GB spinning disk to a dual-SSD configuration (500GB M.2 NVMe for OS and certain media files + 1TB 2.5" SATA for other media files, games and mass storage).
Hey I used to own a similar compaq laptop back in 2013-15. Mine was higher spec tho, it was a pentium t4300, 4gb ram, 500gb hdd and a super fast nvidia g103m graphics card.
For a better comparison, just clone the original hard drive to the SSD. That way the config, updates etc will be identical and show you the true performance boost.
one question, how did the skates on the bottom feel, were they smooth to play with or a bit scratchy? and 1 more thing how was the tracking of the mouse?
hi! I bought a very cheap computer set, it's pentium g3460 it has 500hdd but it always log as hell it takes 10 minutes or more to go back. i just want to ask If I replace it with an ssd, will the lag disappear?
nice, that little upgrade probably gives your friend a lot more joy playing games. Kind of like getting your car waxed. it's still the same, but you feel better driving it
I did upgrade a Inspiron 14 Laptop by myself which replacing the Hard Drive with SSD which i didn't realise that there was an already installed OS in the SSD which my files are still there and i installed different drivers in the laptop
Hi. I have the same laptop but with the "HP" logo and has 2 gb of RAM and a soul core CPU. I have upgraded the RAM to 4 GB, I will upgrade the HDD to a 480GB SanDisk in the coming days.
Did this plus some to an HP Probook 4430s not too long ago. It turns 13 years old this May and had 8 gb of ram, an Intel i5, and the original HDD. Boot time almost identical, and took a total of 6.5 minutes to get up to full operating speed (i.e being able to connect to internet and open Google) Replaced the HDD with an SSD ($45), swapped the i5 for an i7 ($15 new on Aliexpress), did 16 gb of DDR3 Ram (2x8 gb, $17), a new bluetooth card to replace the original wifi card and restore bluetooth capabilities ($6), and a wireless wifi dongle ($9). My only griefs are that running Windows 10 kills the fingerprint scanner and the screen bright/dim keys because they were only supported on Windows 7. Hardly an issue, but still sad that I lost them. Bluetooth was also lost in the Win 10 transition, but I was able to remedy that and still gain faster wifi speed.
@jk1keyy if you watch the video there is a lighting section, there are some side lights that cannot be turned off which kind of ruins the look. If you find a way to turn them off then yes
Dud great Ima Try I have a computer about 13 years old Quite slow takes around 7 minutes to start up was about to sell it and buy a new one but now not Ima change it to a faster one ;)
