    You're a lifesaver. I know next to nothing about PCs, which is probably why I had to buy a 2TB SSD immediately after ordering a custom-built PC with only 512GB SSD rather than the 2TB SSD I had meant to order. I never thought I'd be able to actually do this stuff on my own, but your video was completely straightforward, not intimidating at all, very well explained, and well-paced. Thanks so much :)

      make sure the m.2 ur taking out doesn’t have windows installed on it unless your installing it onto the new m.2 drive

      I want to say exactly the same with An Louise. I used to know stuff about pc about 20 years ago. I ordered a pc for my son and I never expected to manage to put an extra ssd NV me on my own. But with your help I did it ! Thank you . Your language was very comprehensive even for foreigners! Greetings from Greece 😊

      Feels good doesn't it? & the PC space sure has a 🐇 🕳 of other avenues too. I def contemplated ordering a pre built because it is still a hassle if not experienced/careful, but also allows you to really see under the hood. Like I didnt even realize my motherboard has what, 4 NVMe slots?! I'm building mine atm(finishing it 2nite) w/a 4080 SUPER & i7 13700k. Never used NVMe drives B4. Also got a regular SSD as well

    Thanks a lot - I was concerned at first because my NVMe did not show up as "Unassigned" like yours did - I had to scroll down first. So if there is anyone with a similar issue just scroll down and you will see the unassigned partition.
    So happy to finally follow a guide where it actually works lol!

    i was trying to find out how to do all this since im upgrading the system i built almost 5 years ago but... i have adhd and im a bit scatter-brained so i had no idea/didnt remember what i was doing or what i had done to build my computer. this video literally saved my new ssd from being destroyed. My motherboard didnt have the distance plug, so i would have just left the ssd flopping about semi erect (LOL) or just added a screw and bent the ssd, and i would have forgotten to reinstall the heat sink. fixing the partition was the easy part but i am so happy that it was in the video so i could double check how to do it. thank you so much for saving all of us from having to buy more new m2 sticks in the near future.
