MSI GL75/GP75 Leopard/GE75 Raider/WE75 Series SSD & RAM Upgrade Tutorial 

Thank you for the clear and logical disassembly of this computer - got a GL75 for my daughter in 2021 and she filled the 512gb SSD and didn't like the idea of an external SSD - since storage has dropped in cost like crazy - got a 2TB M.2 from Crucial and since I was going to be inside - upped the RAM to 32gb. I was able to open and replace the 2 components without a hitch - or so I thought. I wanted to make sure the closed drive would boot so I halfway snapped the bottom plate on and flipped it over and pressed the power button. Nothing. I popped the cover off and re-installed the battery - and looked closer at my RAM and SSD - they were installed properly. Instead of doubting myself, I put the cover back on - installed all the screws - (most importantly) snapped the cover at the hinges - and it came on like a champ.

Thank you very much for a "teardown" demonstration. I learn a lot.

Great video and the only helpful one so far for my GL75-9SC. Thanks a lot for your great help and thumbs up for that. However you should probably add subtitles or speak slower and more clearly as the voice is sometimes very hard to understand (despite hifi speakers).

Thanks! 👍Thank you for the instruction. Regards Fantastic Frytek.

Best video I've seen yet for this model. I am, however, even more confused now because I just watched another video that showed the same model with two SSD slots and two HDD bays! I went in and swapped out the two 4 Gb RAM chips for two 32 Gb RAM chips, and I saw the second open SSD slot, but I don't remember seeing a second HDD bay. I want to open the case back up to insert the second SSD, and I was planning to also replace the 2.5" 1 Tb HDD with a 2.5" 2 Tb SSD. Now I see that this model comes with different setup: 1 SSD bay and 1 HDD bay; 2 SSD bays and 1 or maybe 2 HDD bays. If there are two HDD bays, I would want to buy two 2.5" SSDs, pull the HDD in there now, install the two SSDs and stripe them to a RAID 0. So what's the deal: How would I know there's a second HDD bay without opening the machine first?

M.F. LAB огромное спасибо за инструкцию. Нужен подходящий инструмент, на видео ничего такой. Разбирал с помощью стоматологического шпателя, пытался максимально аккуратно, но все равно выломал штук 8 защелок, но их там очень много, поэтому на смыкании корпуса это не сказалось. Разбирал GL75.

On the GP75 i couldn’t manage to open the bar just underneath the display. Also is it required to first open that said bar, before opening the rest (on the GP75)?

Thanks for the video! Tell me the thickness of the thermal pad under the ssd

thanks a lot, got to install a 2tb HDD

is this 8gigs of DDR4 Crucial 2666MHz used on the MSI GP75 9SD-1048XFR Leopard ? thank for the tuto btw. truely useful

great thanks a lot :)

Спасибо, дружище!

Any guides on how to replace the keyboard?

How many hard drives will this accommodate? And of which type? Thanks for the video!

Where is second connector M.2?

I have a concern. When trying to pry up the back plate on the GL75 some of the port are starting to lift up with it. Is there a way to fix this? Bc it looks like the metal parts were placed too far into the plastic plate causing it to lift up with it.

1. pop open part beneath screen 2. Remove the 60 screws on the back

Выручил, премного благодарен!

I am installing this for a friend of mine on his GL75 but noticed that you have harddrive caddy on the 1TB SATA drive. Did that caddy come with the 1TB harddrive or did it come with the laptop in the retail box when purchased? I asked him to look inside the laptop package but apparently he can't find it. Hoping he didn't toss it if it came with it.

Una MSI gp75 Leopard puede soportar un SSD Nvme de Gen4?

you know if we can delid the CPU and put liquid metal in there?

Hi, I have a GL75 Leopard 10SER-223FR after a week a keyboard key remains pressed, for a PC Gamer it's not great! It has been in warranty for a month now, no parts available. Is there a video to show how to access the keyboard? On my model can I change the blood red keyboard with an RGB?

excuse me this will sound silly but is it really a basic M.2 ssd? because it is specified nowhere and complicated to find on the internet..

Is there any way to just change the ram speed and timings in bios to the max 2933mhz without upgrading. I’ve tried to when I first got the laptop but I’m just trying to overclock before I purchase ram to see if there is a major difference. And if so how can I find optimal latency for the GP75 Leopard 10SFK-219

0:34 doesnt work at all. I couldnt get anything inside there when the laptop was open. Needed to pry it ope from the other side.

What is the thickness of thermopads? 1mm or 1.5mm? Thanks for help.

I broke some little plastic pieces from the case, and one of them is stuck in the laptop, ao yah, careful

how much you can increase the RAM, to the gl75 9sek model and which one you should buy. Thank you.

Can I replace the HDD with an SSD?

Why is the person talking so soft. Is this a crime...

Hi. Nice to see. I have a question. Does anyone knows if it is possible to install a RGB per key keyboard in such model like this with only red keys? Exchange the red keyboard to one with RGB? Thank you =D

Hello, If I'm only upgraping my RAM memory, do I need to do the "Reset EC"? I don't wanna loose anything on my ssd as my windows licence, etc Greetings

I don't think so that i can do it to my GL 75

Name of the music?

I have MSI GL75 9SD can i add DDR4 3200 Mhz ? Or max is 2666 Mhz for this notebook ?

how have the things you have for dissasembly the plastic ?

You forgot factory seal label! This is important for beginers.

I'd like to say thank you much for the video, but I cant hear a word you are saying. The background music is far louder than your voice.

great video but cant hear clearly.

Hi, I have a query, I am in a dilemma since I do not know whether to buy a msigf65 with a 2060 or a reconditioned msigp65 with a 1660ti, there is no other difference between them and I found them at the same price, in advance thanks

Дякую.

CPU is non removable?

hi when I tried to disassemble and then assemble it again, it keeps clicking at the bottom of where the mouse pad is. Is there any way to fix that?

... man whispering to laptops ... :-)

The video is decent but can't hear what she's saying.

hdd of this laptop?how many gb?

sound is really bad, bat else good video

Avoid Tofu.

Just removing the "factory sticker" alone voids the warranty. Try not to do this at home.

Get rid of the music

how is msi claiming to be for gamers when its this difficult just to upgrade your ssd? should just be 2 steps.. 1.unscrew the back 2.replace/add the ssd. Their marketing gimmick of ge/gp/gl is annoying too.

Couldnt even get the laptop open

Yo why is nobody talking about how shit is breaking as I’m prying it open. Little plastic pieces are breaking off. Idk from where but they’re fucking breaking. I got five so far that I found. They’re so small. Contacted MSI about em waiting to hear back. I don’t think shit is supposed to be breaking or cracking. But I’d rather do this then pay someone $60 to swap a HDD with a SSD
