    I was very pleased with lenovo z510 , although ideapad 520 specs are way better , it is missing lots of things like m2 socket, second monitor out.

    Hi, Techstore.
    I currently have the IP520 i7 7th gen with 2TB HDD, 16gb installed RAM which is 5 years old. It still works decently well except for the battery Iife and lags a lot.
    I tend to run two Adobe softwares at the same time as my work demands for it.
    I have been looking for considerable options to revamp my laptop and had a few doubts regarding the same
    1. Can I upgrade my ram to a higher number? If yes, how much more is ideal?
    2. If yes ^ above, Would you recommend upgrading hdd to ssd or increasing ram or both together?
    3. Does it make sense to invest on a new battery for this 5 year old laptop since I have to keep it plugged in and it runs only for 30-40 mins fully charged unplugged?
    Any response or feedback from your end would be highly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

      Hello. You will need to install windows on the new ssd. While you are in the install process, you should have the opportunity to make partitions for your drive. It would be best to back everything up but you could also buy a usb dock for the old hdd and copy things back over to the new sdd

      No. The motherboard comes with 4GB of DDR4-2400 integrated (soldered) You cannot upgrade it. You can go through this link for more details: laptopmedia.com/review/lenovo-ideapad-520-review-a-big-design-and-hardware-overhaul/
      Also, you'll have to configure the finger print sensor.

    Nice tutorial, really appreciable. I have a problem with my Lenovo Ideapad 510 15isk (i7 6500u, 8gbDDR3, 1tb, 4gb graphs.) I have bought it on July 2016. Initially it gave 4.5 hours of battery backup and gradually it came down to 2.5-3 hours. But suddenly last week the battery status is showing 0% and its not charging, if I remove the plug then laptop is getting off. I used to always plugged the AC on and used the laptop, never let the battery get down below 30%. I have also tried the Lenovo ONE KEY OPTIMIZER to calibrate the battery but it was of no use. Is this a software problem or really the battery is dead ? I will contact the Lenovo Support afterwards they charge too much. Please give me any suggestions if anyone have.

    • @TechstoreCoIn

      The battery cycles are probably over. generally the battery dies after 1.5- 2 years of usage. Ideally get the battery replaced.
