A superb video - no fancy SFX, no annoying background music or flashing graphics across the screen that just distracts. Just to-the-point disassembly-reassembly of a piece of tin and that's all we need. Moreover, what I really liked is the reassembly part of your video, which other channels don't always cover. Taking things apart is relatively easy, but putting it all together without leaving a single screw behind is quite another. So well done, sir, for keeping things simple and complete. Thank you
Macrium Reflect used to be free for home use, it may still be. You would also need a USB to SATA adaptor so you can plug in the new drive, clone your existing drive. Then swap out the drive like shown in the video. There are many other tools too, Macrium isn't the only option.
Mine has a removable keyboard like so th-cam.com/video/UwccwebeTYM/w-d-xo.html but do you see any reason the repairman in that video removed the keyboard at all? Couldn't I just follow your instructions instead? Seems more straight forward to me.
The videos are about entirely different laptops. The hard disk for the 15-n is under the palmrest which is removed towards the top of the machine where as the 15-ab it is underneath the machine and the underside of the machine comes off.

Very kind of you to take the time to say:)
Thank you so much. I was nervous, but I did it by myself change the HDD to SSD. 😀
Great news.
How to clone the data please make video on that

Very interesting, many thanks. What is the spec of the SSD card?
Bog standard but from a known brand like WD or Kingston.
