This is a very good tutorial and thanks to it and photos from Google, I installed additional RAM in a laptop for the first time. But in the beginning, when you show how to open the lid, you should emphasize that the screws are of different lengths and you should be careful which is where. But otherwise perfect, best regards!
@@abdallaaref3718 Not all screws are of equal length and if you screw one that is too long into a place where a shorter one was screwed in, you can damage the components of the laptop. But unfortunately I don't remember which was which, you have to write it down when removing the screws. Cheers!
@@RazielgetDatsword Hi! I bought an external case for SSDs, used it to migrate the old one contents on the new one and then swapped them, I'm now using the old SSD as an external drive hope this helps!
I don't have this laptop yet, but your video was just sooo darn good 👍 Thanks a lot! I'm curious, would it be possible to upgrade the Wi-Fi card to Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5?
Question/Issue: Hi, I have a Y740 and just updated it with a 1 EVO970 Plus NVMe SSD and a 2TB EVO SSD. On the Information window in BIOS the 2TB EVO SSD is assigned to Disk 1 and 1TB 970EVO Plus is assigned to Disk 2. It should be reversed. Also, It doesn't list the 1TB NVMe in the Boot Manger, only the DISK 1 2TB SSD. The only way I can get the 1TB NVME to boot is to remove the 2TB EVO SSD. The only way I get both drives to show up in the BIOS is buy enabling Legacy mode. I enable Legacy support by switching the to ACHI storage controller. Then can see both drives, but the system will not boot with both drives installed .
Looks quite simple and easy. Czesc Tech Finds, been looking at the Acer Predator Helios 300 that you recommended, but all 15.6" laptops here in Australia seem to have the 60Hz screen. Only the 17.3" has the 144Hz panel. The 15.6" would be better for travelling. There is another Predator called the Triton 500 and that has the 144hz screen in the 15.6" but costs $3,200 AUD it comes with RTX 2080, 32gb Ram and a 512gb SSD....but it has a weird keyboard layout. Later this year they are replacing the DDR4 to DDR6 RAM's and the RTX will be upgraded to Super ie RTX 2080 super....never stops does it.
If you gonna wait for new laptops you will end up waiting 4ever, because new and better laptops pop up like mushrooms after rain. ;) I don't recommend Triton, because it runs hot causing performance loss and yea, i've heard that Helios 300 comes with only 60Hz display in Australia unfortunately. It would be great to have 144Hz since it's WAY better, so check out my channel and maybe you will find a good alternative for Predator - i've got many laptop comparisons. Actually Lenovo Legion Y540 is a good option in Australia and i am working on a comparison between Y540 and 2019 Helios right now. Imo Helios is still better, but in Australia Legion may be better option. Btw. why do you type polish words sometimes? ;)
@@TechFinds thanks for the information. I'll keep checking stores for updates as their websites are not always up to date. My parents were from Poland and a few new channels I subscribed to are from Poland, so write a word in Polish. My apologises if I have mistaken yours.
Good video, but you must correct the links to the M.2 SATA type because they are not compatible with this laptop. The right options are M.2 PCIe, not SATA.
You should play with battery connected and laptop plugged in. You'll only ruin the battery when charging is in progress and you're using the laptop at the same time
This is still the old model shown. 2020 model needs to have only 2 screws removed to slide open the front half of the back panel. And if there is no factory 2.5" HDD installed, you will find a dummy drive with 4 screws and cable already inserted.
@@MrKimakatsu 2019: The back panel is a single part, with a flat front half and a perforated back half, separated by straight line (as in video). 2020: The halves are separated by a 45° angled skewed contour. You will also find only 2 screws on the separate front part and no screws in the middle area. The new model has always the cable already installed.

If i remember good the main difference is that y540 has improved thermal performance compared to previous version Y530. It still runs kinda hot tho. It depends on the price difference if it's worth to buy old or new one
Thank you so much for this video, it is precisely what I needed! A very calm voice and good edited as well. One question tho, you are saying that the SSHD is almost as fast as an SSD. Do you think AAA-titles such as Witcher and Exodus will run properly on the SSHD? I was willing to upgrade my 128gb SSD to 480, but after seeing your video, I might consider doing the HDD upgrade instead.
You should not replase SSD with SSHD expecting the same performance. SSHD can work almost as fast as SSD but only in limited circumstances when for example you learn the SSHD that you use certain program often. Then SSHD gets faster with each run of this program or windows start, but idk how it works exactly. It has it's own memory but idk how much it can remember and if it doesn't forget things. ;)
@@gdivision951 There is only 1 slot for M.2 SSD. You could eventually install M.2 SSD in 2.5" drive bay using adaptor but it would be limited to SATA cable connection anyway.
First of all, thank you ! Your guide is easy to understand and short ! But i have a question, i've heard about the possibility of adding another SSD/HDD IN the Lenovo Legion, is it really possible ? Cuz i got this pc and when i added some RAM, i did not see any place to put in.
I just bought this for $900 and I love it and I was thinking of adding more storage so this helped a lot. I dont think I need to add more ram but if I do, do I have to take out both of the ones that are installed or just one?
Hello what if i want to replace that boot drive which is hdd, should i change the boot drive to another drive first or? And also do we need to do any settings before installing and after? Or the system will automatically found out the upgrade?
If you mean that you wanna have Windows on different drive you have to install the system on that drive and get rid of Windows on your current drive. After installing new drive you have to go device manager and make a partition.
After the changing the ram and adding an ssd, is it necessary to install new drivers or do something with the software? Or it will all run normally with the restart?
Another question: I want to buy the crucial ram (2x8gb) but I don't know if I have to choose the single or the dual rank. Thank you very much 4 answering our questions! You have a new subscriber.
The prices vary between countries. As for the laptop itself i think that i would go for Nitro 7 i think. Both have not very good cooling but with Acer you can at least control the fan speed.
Hey Tech Finds! I just thought to ask, will it void my Lenovo warranty to replace the ram sticks? More importantly, is there a seal on the ram sticks that would show if they were removed?
It may depend on the country, so i recommend reading your warranty terms or contact Lenovo support. By default in most cases changing RAM/HDD/SSD won't void the warranty unless you damage something during upgrade. Edit: i didn't find any seals
@@TechFinds Alright thanks, I read through the warranty and it looks like it won't void it unless I were to damage it like you said, but I'm not too worried about that since your tutorial is so clear! Thank you
I asked the lenovo service the same question via chat. They said it would interfere with the warranty, but I'm still not sure, since the person there seemed somewhat incompetent.
@@TechFinds I did it anyway since I wanted to dual boot with separate hard drives and so far so good, I haven't seen any changes. Thanks for the reply!
It may be different for each country so it's better to read the warranty card. In most cases it shouldn't void warranty as long as you dont damage the laptop during upgrading process

It's a risky hobby 😅
What is the size and name of the screwdriver that is used at the very beginning?
I don't know the size but or was a random screwdriver that fits the screws
thanks for the video! one question, in my Lenovo Legion Y530 I have Intel Optane in the slot of M2 and 1TB of HDD and actually my laptop runs very slow, sometimes took me 10 min or more to speed up the apps installed. If I want to upgrade to SSD what do you recommend me to do? is my OS installed in the Intel Optane or in the HDD? I'm kind of concern to upgrade but I'm not sure what to do first, can you help me?
