Hi everybody,
I hope someone would be kind enough to look below and tell or advise me if I have missed out any steps in upgrading my SSD. I have already done the memory upgrade. I have downloaded the recovery media from Lenovo so that I can do a clean install. Lenovo Legion Y530 - 151CH 1: Disable Intel Optane in Intel App. 2: Remove rear case. 3: Disconnect battery. 4: Remove 16gb Intel Module. 5: Insert new Adata XPG SX8200 Pro 512GB M.2-2280 NVMe PCIe SSD and secure, then attach supplied heatsink. 6: Reconnect battery. 7: Replace rear case. 8: Start up and go into BIOS and change system to boot from USB. 9: Allow the boot sequence to go ahead and install Windows/Lenovo OS directing it towards to SSD. 10: Once installed, go back into BIOS and change boot order to boot from new SSD first. 11: Restart system and if all is working well, go into disk management and format the stock 1TB HDD and rename it something like Data Storage. 12: Re-install all personal files, games, docs etc and hopefully then I am good to go. So, have I missed anything out or should I do anything different perhaps? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. On a final note, I would rather not clone the OS as I prefer a clean install and I do not have a lot of files anyway and only one game which to be fair I play a lot (maybe too much) Thanks everybody and hope to hear back soon. Scotty. |
