Been learning from RU-vid for years.... Wanted to give back some of my knowledge. Like and Subscribe if this video help.

@RemofRenaissance Год назад

Thank you for this - really appreciated. Out of interest on the market is there a lot of variation on the disk speeds? I'm wondering if you could also get a much faster SSD as an added benefit of changing? Thanks again and wish you all the best on your RU-vid journey. Very clean / professional upload!

@HowToWojo Год назад

@@RemofRenaissance Great questions, yeah you would see some benefits in things loading slightly faster and files transfer quicker. I was mainly shopping for price over performance. You will need to get from a reputable manufacture that can guarantee specs or go off of third party sellers descriptions and test the speed once you install the drive.

@@HowToWojo tThank you! Subscribed. All the best

@HowToWojo Год назад

@@RemofRenaissance BTW If you did buy the Surface Pro 9, right now Microsoft is running a Black Friday sale. If you reach out to Microsoft chat support they will honor the discount and credit your bank back the $200 sale. Hope that saves you some extra $$$.

@RemofRenaissance Год назад

@@HowToWojo thank you for this! I’m actually based in the UK but have been looking at deals. I’m debating if I want to go with a Pro 8 instead and wether I can get away with 8GB ram. No gaming for me but loads of spreadsheet analysis and reporting packages like Power BI so running that conundrum on what to do over and over again in my head. Pro 8 is around $950 in UK inclusive of Tax and sometimes with a keyboard but…. 8GB RAM 😐

@wynzavian2000 Год назад

Might I add, you will need the Microsoft case that the SSD sit in. Due to the fact that the T6 screw will not line up quite right. It will be off center just so slightly. Removing the case is easy and will help with securing the SSD down with the T6 screw. Otherwise, vibration can cause the SSD to move or malfunction.

@HowToWojo Год назад

Thanks for letting everyone know about this. I noticed this in the install that it moved slightly just forgot to mention it in the video. I didn't remove the case from mine since I was going to just resell the SSD on ebay.

@splinx2813 Год назад

Can you please show or explain to me how to remove the Microsoft case.

@OrangeFrogGaming 8 месяцев назад

Rather crucial to mention that you MUST prepare your USB drive FIRST!!!

Do you have to use the recovery? Can you reinstall using the download from the Media Creation Tool? I want to reinstall it with Win 11 Pro.

Holy shit... for some reason it didn't even occur to me that you might be able to upgrade the ssd on the SP9😂 I'm a pretty technical dude but for some reason i just assumed that this time you get what you get Thank you so much lmao

@mr.stemedutv5514 Год назад

Thanks for video! Where did you get 1tb ssd?

@HowToWojo Год назад

Thanks for your comment. I went on Ebay and searched 2230 M.2 ssd. A few sellers selling them, just find the best priced one and make sure that they have a 30 day return if anything goes wrong.

@coralluoma8684 4 месяца назад

On mine my overall local disc storage increase, but on all the other things like installed apps and system and reserved it says I can only use 52.4 gb for reach categories. Even though I upgraded to 2t and my local disc says 1.82 Tb.

@douglaspawlik 4 месяца назад

The problem is that you are putting the thermal pad on the wrong side. The surface is designed to heatsink the SSD on the bottom, which is why Microsoft uses a completely enclosed SSD.

@MNGuy78 9 месяцев назад

I have a question regarding the recovery image download, so I downloaded it from Microsoft's website for my Surface Pro X, after I extract it, I can see the sources file has an X by it instead of a check mark, is this an issue?

@HowToWojo 9 месяцев назад

Not super familiar with recovery process for windows unfortunately. If you found a solution please comment below so we can share with anyone else with the same issue. :)

@kassosouleymane2 8 месяцев назад

Thanks a lot of for your video, can we get the ssd from microsoft with his case?

@HowToWojo 8 месяцев назад

Microsoft does sell these M.2 SSD's but they do charge more than average price for the ssd that they sell. I would recommend doing some research online on some top performers so you can get the most bang for your buck.

@DanielHarrisCodes Год назад

Does this void the warranty? If I had to send the device in to Microsoft for repair they would either not replace it or they would send me back a device with the original size SSD in the case of a swap?

@HowToWojo Год назад

As far as I am aware it is possible that they may say the issue is related to the upgrade that you did. So before you send them the machine I would install the stock SSD and see if you still have same issue and then send the device to them with the original SSD. Incase they replace the device you don't lose out on the upgrade that you did. The way I see it is if they give you the ability to upgrade it why would they deny your warranty.

@agibaru1599 Год назад

Hello, do you know if this works on the surface pro 9 arm ( 5g sq3)?? please help me

If it has an SSD slot on the back of it it should be the same process.

@donmatheo717 8 месяцев назад

I'm wondering why Surface Pro 9 is running SSD on PCIe 3.0. According to specs both device and drive are PCIe 4.0 compatible. I wanted to upgrade my drive with WD SN770M SSD(which has 5150MB/s and 4900MB/s read/write speed). It seems pointless when Pro 9 is running SSD in a mode that is limited to 4GB/s(limit for PCIe 3.0 x4). Some YT tutorials for this upgrade include speed tests done after replacement and authors are dissapointed with results. I suspect it is rather a problem with PCIe 3.0 limit than the drive itself.

@HowToWojo 8 месяцев назад

I think you are right with that.

@MrLuiwammes 2 месяца назад

Hallo ziemlich gut die Anleitung! Das Kühlpad schein aber ein wenig zu dünn zu sein weil die Klappe ohne jeglichen Druck zufällt! So ist nicht sichergestellt das das eine Verbindung zwischen PCIe Festplatte und Gehäuse hergestellt wurde! Das kann zu hoher Erwärmung und Leistungsverslust führen! LG Jürgen

@maddog030 7 месяцев назад

I've followed your video and my surface will not boot from a usb, could it be the new ssd ? It's a WD black

@HowToWojo 7 месяцев назад

Had a similar issue with mine the first time I tried to re-install and different USB and still didn't work. Reached out to manufacture and they replaced the SSD for me and that seemed to solve the issue. Hope that helps.

@mostlymessingabout Год назад

Can you show how to clone the SSD? I don't want to reinstall everything

@HowToWojo Год назад

Cloning a drive is going to require some other cables and tools that unfortunately I do not have access to. I know that @JayzTwoCents makes a great video called "How to clone Windows 10 - The Free and Easy way!" that shows the process of transferring that data. Hope that helps. :)

@carlosvalencia8749 Год назад

My computer goes on a continuous boot and doesn’t repair or load windows. Please help.

@HowToWojo Год назад

I would format the USB drive with the windows software and try to see if it will boot from it. If not then put in the old storage drive and attempt to follow the same process for upgrade and if it works on old device its possible you have a faulty drive.

@MrBazsi888 Год назад

2TB version would work on Surface 7 Pro plus?

@HowToWojo Год назад

Yes it should be supported as well. It will be the same install process as shown in the video.

@freddye7442 Год назад

yes

From what I saw online the only difference is the way you open the cover for the ssd.

I found it from a seller on Ebay. Just typed in the SSD name and a bunch of options showed up for me. Just find one that matches your budget and your needed speeds.

@farishanafiah8461 10 месяцев назад

As much as I like the easy SSD upgradability, I'm not sure about having the OS installed in that one SSD. I don't mind having a soldered SSD for the OS and leave the rear slot empty for additional self upgrade.

@HowToWojo 10 месяцев назад

I would have to agree with you on that. At least they give us a choice... W Microsoft I guess

@Kirby7601 Год назад

What about ram?

@HowToWojo Год назад

Unfortunately, the ram is not upgradable on surface devices. It is attached to the motherboard as far as I am aware.

@philliplanos 10 месяцев назад

For some reason the recovery process gets to 80% and then say an error occurred. Are you familiar with this kind of circumstance?

@HowToWojo 10 месяцев назад

I was having a similar issue. I send the SSD back to them and received a new one and it was working. I classified it as faulty, but not 100% sure what the issue was since it fixed once I got a new drive.
