How To Upgrade the SSD In A Dell Laptop

I didn't think I had to make this video, but after looking for a video like this on TH-cam, I realized that I actually had to make this video.
This tutorial features the Dell Latitude 7420, but it'll work for any modern Dell laptop with Windows 10 or later that has a removeable storage drive.
Check out my review of the Dell Latitude 7420 here:

I ended up getting "We were unable to detect any disks that can be utilized for a cloud restore" message when rebooting from the USB. Did I miss a step by chance?

I bought an Inspiron 15 3520 that will be shipped in like 2 days, it comes with 512 GB SSD, and it will have an empty 2.5” HDD slot, I’m thinking of buying an 1TB 2.5” SSD, can I install it right after taking it out of the box? Oh yeah it also comes with pre installed software ( Linux - Ubuntu 20.04 ). What should I keep in mind? I’m new to all of this 😅

"Hold the power button for 8 seconds because reasons." No further questions, your honour. Great video 😂

This video is quite helpful. I followed your instructions and successfully upgraded the SSD in my Dell laptop. Thanks a lot!

That's my kind of tutorial, honest and straight to the point.

I actually found this video quite entertaining but also deceptively useful.

When I boot into the Dell Recovery Assistant, and click reset, it won't let me select any of the two options and I'm unable to reset. Does anyone know what to do from this?

Thank you so much. This video has made a huge impact to my life. I’ve spent all week trying to get my computer to accept a new SSD drive and now it does!!!

Can I put a 4TB Ssd in here? I read online somewhere that the latitude 7420 only supports up to 1TB but I wasn’t sure if they meant they only sell up to 1TB, or it would reject anything above 1TB, I was confused

I have a Dell SFF system which I tried to replace the Liton 240GB that came with it, while the cloning software reported everthing went right, the system refused to boot from the new SDD which is a 1TB Crucial, watching this video gives me hope for my Laptop when the time comes but makes me wonder if the SFF is BIOS locked to certain SSD or some silly thing like that.
my first experience with SSD was ages back with a 20GB HP SSD that once removed from the main system refused to work ever again (replaced with a new 500GB because my son wanted more space.
Since then I avoided SDD until recently when I thought I needed to make the move and doing so has been nothing but good, until i7 #2 the Dell SFF, my work around was to add a card to run a 2nd NVMe and that worked a treat though the Dell won't boot from that card even with the Liton installed.
put the Liton back in the NVMe port on the MB and all it well again.
but now the lifespan of the Liton is reaching an uncomfortable limit, this video tells me I should be able to swap my Laptops SSD for new, but honestly my i7 SFF is 6yh Gen against this laptops 11th Gen,
while not for my setup still very helpful thank you.

Love the humour!

I have had a huge drama trying to install my SSD drive and I’m really hoping you’re going to help me. I’m in the process of downloading the Driver from the Dell website. will that contain the new Windows operating system? I do have that downloaded on a separate thumb drive. However, as I understand it once I remove the old drive and put in the new SSD.
I’ve then restart the computer with the memory stick that has the new Dell operating system and everything should load from there?
