DELL Inspiron 5675 Hard Drive upgrade 

This worked m.2 slot 1 was not detecting the ssd. When I put it in slot 2 next to the ram . It worked. Thank god . I’m reinstalling OS as I type . Slow process . I currently have and ryzen 3. Upgraded ram to 32gb. And now 1tb m.2.

Hi. Might be a while ago. But can you please explain how you did that?... thanks a lot if you ever read this message that will help a lot.

@@kenc6602 Yeah, that was a while ago. If I remember correctly it's just as I wrote. DiskGenius has a option to choose a path to the boot file. Once I chose the path in DG to the boot file on the new M.2 and saved it, I rebooted, and now there were two paths to the boot file shown in the BIOS. I then just deleted the old boot file path.

PowerfulPaper Did you figure out?

Dakota Upshaw is there only one side u can take off

2 screws on the back, on the side with the handle just horizontal with them. Then pull the handle toward you

This is the way to go, clone the drive!

Can you please explain the steps. I am trying to clone hdd to nvme 2, at 99% clone completion it is says, failed for unknown reasons.

Go to bios and setup default settings to see if this bring back the original settings

​@@LatetotheShowwe didn't even have a display. Our neighbor took a look and did a hardware reset of BIOS

The manual I have says 256GB Max for each m.2 SATA & m.2 NVME. I personally won't go higher due to possible damage.

Why no replies? Yeah, go for it I've added 3 of them no issues. Might just need to open diskmanager and assign them drive paths/format them etc

@@AlexBinx You've done this on this same computer? I'm looking to do exactly this, there's room inside? I assume I'll need extra PCIe cables or something?

@@JaredC4 Actually it has the extra sata power cables already, and from what I remember 1 sata data cable, but you may need to get more data sata cables if you don't have any lying around. And yes there is room for 2 3.5 in drives, 1 2.5 in and the M.2 he does a good job explaining it in the video ^^

May I ask did your m.2 show up after you deleted those 2 lines he mentioned in the video.

Thanks for commenting, you save me bro

Can't do motherboard, it's all propietery. Upgrading the PSU is a challenge too, cpu can only use 1sr gen ryzens so far, and graphics cards r well eh. Ram is easy. I really wish u could replace motherboard tho. If u wanna do a build, get a case and motherboard, then make a desktop from these parts. That's an easy build

Any tips on upgrading the PSU and graphics card? Currently trying to upgrade mine

2 screws in the back on the side of the side panel. after removing it, slide the panel backwards and pull.

Look up dell Manuals and then enter you’re service tag (on the back of pc) and then go into the repair manual. Tells you everything you need to know regarding removing and putting in parts

Two ways connect your hard drive to an existing PC or buy a hard drive reader. As long as you don't have bitlocker enable.

Thank you, I'll try this and see if I can make a video.

did u do it successfully?? so i dont have to mess around bios? other than boot from usb?

I'm buying a Crucial MX 500 M.2 500gb this week @ microcenter for $109.99 / Ur Win10 Product key is integrated in the bios, all my research say's I can unplug HDD install SSD alone and put the dell usb one time boot stick in and it will boot off usb and install either clean win10 install or w/files and apps.then I will reinstall HDD and format it for storage ,That; my plan anyway also Tech deals Has a link to win10 pro product keys for $12.50

I'll do a video on this on how to upgrade the hard drive because a lot of people are having issues on the upgrade, Will not complete the video until two weeks from now busy on another project.

I installed a Samsung 860 evo 2.5" 500gb for $114 from micro center today! easy steps Installed ssd to the 2.5" open top bay on the 5675 using the extra sata pwr supply wire already their ,installed a new $3.99 angled sata data wire to drive and also motherboard (slot 0) /started win10 then downloaded free Samsung magician (migration)software it found ssd (target) and (Original) 1tb HDD /Pressed START ! It cloned my HDD drive to new ssd (Once completed 100% ) press shutdown tab .uninstall original HDD wires and switch wires(2)both from old HDD to new SSD,This way I never had to even go into Bios,Win10 with all my Apps booted rite up!I will worry about formatting and using old 1tb HDD for storage later.Note it booted up as C: perfectly, I bought the Samsung because all the research i did told me this was the best SSD/software for prebuilts others have issues!!

The M.2 had the screws in the box. or the motherboard had them screw in the sockets.

There wasnt one :/ in the box or the on the motherboard itself. what size is the screw?

Im having the same issue. I dont have a screw of a screw size and i dont think that you can get it from dell. Im going to give them a call tomorrow.

I don't know the size but I have a link to replace them if you nee to purchase them from Amazon. www.amazon.com/ZRM-Motherboard-Mounting-Accessories-Screwdriver/dp/B07BVRGVWY/ref=asc_df_B07BVRGVWY/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=241897320872&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=9341599986775022924&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031581&hvtargid=pla-440711466414&psc=1

Ok until July 31 I load the system out

Did you ever figure it out? Currently trying to upgrade the power supply and graphics card on mine

@@_WeDontKnow_ I did that myself it's like any other build. I'm 15 didn't need any tutorials

@@ccdccd2708 I'm new to gaming computers, I haven't done any other build so I'd need some guidance

@@_WeDontKnow_ you can search any other video it'll be the same

Not true I setup 1 TB

If you plan to upgrade the video card then you need more power.

You can if you can see the slot in bios, I had issues identifying the second slot in bios that's why I change the motherboard.

Not true the system is quiet and the noise is generated when you play game only when the GPU fan start to run.

quiet!

wrong its really silent i belive a fan in another room is louder then the 5675

The 5675 has....alot of build problems. Were dealing with Dell here, they pick spare parts off of shelves. The loud fan noise comes from one of 3 sources (Random or no problems at all it depends) 1) THE CRAPPY PSU! Dell back when the Aurora r4 or r5 came out, had been getting complaints about the bad PSU, being a non-80 plus 460w psu this is believable. What Dell did was take them out of the Alienware Aurora lineup, and use them elsewhere, one of the places was in the new shiney Dell Inspiron Gaming line for noth AMD and INTEL. The problem through the whole DIG5675 (and possibly in the 2018 line as well) line begins at the start, the first AMD model optioned is not a ryzen, but an APU, there the 460 is fine, but they carry it as standard all the way up to the R7 and I7 models. The PSU has a specific code number, and is made by a lesser PSU maker (read: cheaper) and has fan problems. They have an 850w option, though not in stores, and not a listed option online on the configuration page, that costs an extra $250 dollars. I've been tryin g to figure out if i can buy a 3rd party PSU and replace it, and my 1 year warranty wears out soon so, yay... 2) They used generic Dell cooler on the CPU, NOT THE AMD MADE COOLER OR OTHER. Cheap generic vs higher quality cpu cooler, hmmmm. Now on configuration screen online you can always option for liquid cooling (DO IT) and prevent this as a problem. DO IT ON CONFIGURATION BEFORE YOU PURCHASE, Dell went loopy and included an 80mm case fan, and no spot i can see to add even a 120mm rad/fan, because believe me, i would. Dell had custom AIO made for Liquid Cooling, must likely one of their alienware lineup pumps, modified for a smaller rad. 3) The GPU is a AMD/DELL OEM RX 500 series (Mine is the 580 8GB, not available in the 2018 refreshed model with no dvd drive or spot for one), idk if that'll cause any serious problems compared to say an MSI or ASUS or PowerColor 3rd party Add-in partner, but it could be worth checking out. I've been spending the last year checking all this out, i just don't have the money to DO any testing. What I really want to do is get a different PSU, try and go for an AIO Liquid Cooler, upgrade the RAM (8GB is horribly basic now), and possibly get an NVMe, and get my OS moved there, and maybe use the SATA included (as boot option, they did SATA not NVMe, still better than a spinner) As for @Late to the Show , Yes it can support more than 256GB, having expandable memory capped wouldn't do much good, but Dell themselves have specific option you can have them install, for instance mine has a 256 M.2 SATA ssd as boot, and a 1TB spinner (i believe 7200rpm) for mass storage and games. I would love to move an NVMe for boot, free up the extra lanes the SATA steals, since SATA SSD's steal your available SATA lines, and keep the current spinner, upgrade the spinner to a hybrid, or an ssd.

That's just a bios problem with some machines. U get over it. Only happens hear and there, and it's only with the CPU fan

it came with the hard drive but Amazon sell them by them self. I have an extra one i can sen you only in the US for free if your interested.

@@LatetotheShow na im in the uk I got a friend who's giving me a few I just want to know what dimention screws to get, is it m2.0x3mm or?

You can always clone the drive to a larger drive I have some instructions on my other Upgrade channel.

no the motherboard suck little you can do with nodding you memory speeds.

Turns off Xbox completely, just like holding the power button or go to the power option under the setting and look for power saving.

Artie Fishel I upgraded my psu on this pc. The power cord slot and power switch doesn’t line up. You have to manually carve out the black plastic protector shield on the back.

@@tricksterloon Any chance that'll be a tutorial? Or is there already a tutorial somewhere?

Do yourself a favor,get a 16gb thumb drive and make ur (DELL) recovery drive,It will have a clean installion of win10 and /or win10 with all ur apps/files on it.no need for product key,It's enbedded in bios and will seeit!

I'm making a video on the a CPU fan upgrade to water cooling system for this model if your interested in cooling this system

Can't wait!

AMD did NOT ship any coolers with the Ryzen 7 series chips in the 1st generation. They had an option, but you had to buy seperately from them anyway, and they considered at least the two top end Ryzen 7 chips (of the 3), the 1700x (my chip) and the 1800x, pure enthusiast, and hence you could buy enthusiast cooling. Dell, I don't want to say juryrigged a cooler they themselves ordered for the socket (likely from cooler master with a base for AM4). They also had custom AIO liquid cooling, probably an older aurora AIO cooler pump, fitted to a rad for the 80mm case fan, unfortunatly i had completed my order before i could remember this, so i got the air cooler. There's very little you can do to OC anyway, they've got the BIOS locked hard, you CAN with some digging do an OC, or use the Ryzen Master utility designed for overclocking, but it won't save when you turn off. I assume that the turbo to 3.8 will work under liquid cooling though. I kinda want to upgrade to Ryzen 2 (NOT Ryzen+ that makes up the current Ryzen 2000 desktop lineup, the 2019 chips will be 3000 series) in 2019. X370 boards should be compatible, though SLIGHTLY, just every so slightly, less at full potential for later chips, but the ZEN+ chips req'd a BIOS update, and then you could slot your new chip right in.

It's almost identical to amd wrath max except the fan is made by Avc. The cooler shipped with 5675 1700x is a very decent model

why do you want to install windows 7? you have 10

Guse1022 you probably already did your upgrade, but I just updated mine today.... Used Hyper X 2 DIMM kit, 8GB each, DDR4 @ 2400. Go to Hyper X website and search for that memory, easy to find, and it isn't that expensive, only $73 US on amazon

You can add two ssd m.2 on the motherboard. The motherboard has two slots for m.2 hard drive but its a solid state you can add up to 3 to 4.

Late to the Show thanks for the response but the ssd hard drive I can connect in any SATA port ?

Did you add the SSD in the correct slot and did you run the OS on a USB to reinstall and you should read the drive

I made my OS recovery on a dvd-r disc and that is how I put windows onto my SSD, it shows up in the boot order under first HDD

Did you get it working or you need any help? I can make a small video to assist with another ssd drive install

I can get into windows by pressing f12 during the boot sequence and by selecting legacy boot/hard drive, but I have to do this every time I restart, it won't automatically select the ssd for me

My file browser add boot option line is completely missing

no 1080 but any 1070 that will fit case ! 460 watt PSU

No way it's only 460 watt power supply. I have to upgrade psu for a 1070

Any SSD work but just make sure you buy the correct model, two different model in the market B+M or M only one works on the motherboard.

Late to the Show thank you so much! You’re a life saver! Since I know close to nothing about them

Late to the Show which model works for the computer used in this video? I have the exact same one.

@@LatetotheShowsorry, it is not clear, is M the one that works on this motherboard??

No i used the HP Omen beacuse it has a NVidia 1080ti and i edit all my content on it. Im going to upgrade this system later this week is you want to see more on this system.

No this is not my main system, I used the HP Omen as my main system. I'm going to do a live streaming on how to upgrade this system today on installing a water cooling for the CPU. 8:30PM Pacific

Two but you can fit a third one under the CD area, this will require extension for the hard drive. Thank you for the question and please don't forget to subscribe if you have't already. I'm adding new gaming desktop next week if you are interested.

@@LatetotheShow what do you mean by extension? i see that drive bay under the cd slot

A Stick of gum size if You're in the USA

Yes, you can upgrade the motherboard, I can make a video on the type of mother board I just upgrade to.

@@LatetotheShow please make a video on this! This MOBO is terrible. Nothing but a headache for upgrades...

That's because Dell wants you to use their services. No company would ever recommend you use a 3rd party brand and some companies would even make it so you CAN'T use 3rd party stuff on the computer that YOU PAID FOR. Just build your own

Have you updated the Bios?

@@LatetotheShow yes. Still no luck...

Im cureently on the road I'll check for a solution later today and post it for you

You must of clone very good to capture the encryption and transfer to another drive. What application did you clone your system?

Late to the Show Macrium reflect. First I used samsung migration, but didnt unplug sata drive, it might have worked with samsung migration too if I unplugged sata hdd.

Toxic - In OS u need to format it on disk management and assign a drive. Then clone your hdd or install new os on ssd. after that shutdown and unplug all sata drive and boot, it will boot from ssd. Then I replugged my sata hdd to different sata port than sata0 and formatted it. Dont worry about bios.

Toxic - One ok. good job on making it work

By adding it.

I've seen this before you will need to use another keyboard plug into the system or change the USB port to connect.

So I can have 2

Samuel Puto amo I have two MSI Radeon RX 570's crossfired in mine. Works fine. I just had to make sure my power supply could support the setup.

I'm in Cali the USA

What would you like to see so I can maybe make it happen.

I dont know but I would have to try it
