- Learn how to install an M.2 Solid State Drive (SSD) into a PC in minutes with this detailed step-by-step guide!
M.2 SSD's typically support one of two interfaces including PCI-Express (PCIe) and SATA. An amazing feature of M.2 SSD's is their ability to support PCIe-based non-volatile memory express (NVMe) which can take advantage of the blistering speeds of PCIe.
Another advantage of M.2 Drives is that they don't require any external power connectors or data transfer cables. This means the installation process is quite simple and it keeps your system looking neat and clean thanks to reduced clutter.
This video will also show you how to initialize and format a newly installed drive in a Windows 10 or 11 PC.

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
Welcome to the pc community!
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 😊
@@ovuvwevwevweenyetuenwuewue6849so I have 256 Gb Ssd in my pc and I want to put a 1tb in it what all do I need to do like do I need to backup stuff and if so how
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
The first video I find that explains the whole process in the simplest way. Some youtubers refer to the bios, most don't even show how to plug the ssd in the socket. Bravo and thanks
Great tutorial. Thank you. It always amazes me how small the M.2 drives are when you take them out of the box. Such an improvement over the old technologies.
what a great and straightforward explanation, keep this series going man, you're killing it
Followed your instructions and it worked FLAWLESSLY first try. Thank you for making a video without garbage fluff and just the facts.
FINALLY! someone shows what to do in the OS after you've physically installed it! thanks!
Dude! Great video! My cousin said he was gonna help me but ended up not being able to and this video just did the work for me and made it so simple. I was super stressed and worried about breaking the PC given the fact I knew nothing about them since I just got into PC gaming. Super thankful and glad for this tutorial thank you and great job brother !
such a save you did by leaving this up, people like you with lil tutorials like these are what really helps the most
Great video mate, no BS, nothing unnecessary to pad out the length. Keep it up!
Man, thank you so much for this and the hard drive video, hope you keep this series going, sometimes pc building becomes an anxiety inducing task, even if the process is easier than it used to be you want to minimize the chance of screwing up, I'm waiting for parts and will definitely be referencing your videos in the future!
Have a great day!
Thanks! Glad you found the video helpful!
YOU ARE THE MAN! I swear I put my M.2 in my PC and then check my GB and didn’t see anything new. I was gonna install different things to fix this problem. Thank you very much !
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.
THANK YOU!!! My son purchased a Samsung SSD for his gaming laptop and we did not know what to do with it! DONE AND in use! THANK YOU!
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!
You're a legend tyty
Dude! I’ve changed way too many SSDs but NEVER an NVME. You made it super simple to understand. It took a few minutes to take out the old one and put in the new one! Than you man!
Glad it helped!
Thanks for such a helpful video I really don’t understand pcs but if I just follow instructions everything works out so it’s really nice people like you are making this content
thank you so much for this! excellent video with all info needed, demonstrations of installation and formatting all in one short video.
Found this video very helpful! So easy to do it at the same time as you explain each step. Thank you!
Picked up my first ssd and wasn’t sure how to go about it after getting it installed. Thanks very much!
Thanks for this video. Super helpful and easy to follow. Much appreciated!
Really helpful and to the point. Appreciate the clear and direct process as well as great supportive video. Added new drive and working in 10 minutes. Thank you.
Amazing tutorial, installed my second m.2 and because of you everything is working.
TYSM im autistic and was having a nightmare of a time getting mine setup thankyou for the easy to follow explanations.
Many thanks. I'm new to building a PC and I have just finished but i didn't knew how to install an NVMe SSD so this was very helpful for both the first and as a recap for the second as I had upgraded my graphics card and needed another NVMe SSD for backup.
You should add a popup saying 'Choose GPT if Windows 11' on screen at 3:30, it gives me and I guess a lot of other people have the same windows message.
So simple and straight to the point! No pointless talking. No time wasted. Just pure useful and helpful information thats clear and direct! THANK YOU!
Эта связка - мой личный секрет успеха, и я не могу не рассказать об этом всем!
Great video, nice pacing, didnt go to fast, was very clear and easy to understand. Thanks!

Love your channel, found by accident. Thanks for the tutorials man.
This was very helpful, thank you. Between you and my Swedish tech savvy friend I got my new NVME drive working.
You saved me sooo much time I didn't know if that thingy under the plastic was supposed to stay thank you so much😅
The new simple volume option is gray for me and I can’t click it how do fix?
These videos are great. I used to build Pc's years ago but lost touch. Now the technology is so different, these videos help a lot. I'm away to buy a new Pc & am catching up.

The screen recording showing how to format it is the same as in the HDD installing video😁😂 Great video
this ♥️♥️ everything else had me stressing but this was simple and to the point thank u sm
Watched this pretty thoroughly, then still got confused as my mounting screw came out, then checked motherboard and eventually saw that I had to remove the small screw and put the mounting screw back on before mounting the drive. Ah the joys of being human... Stoked for my new m.2 SSD! :D
Quick and quality, thanks
Your the best, easy step by step instructions!
Thank you so much for clearly explaining how to install the M.2 SSD! Got right to the point!
Glad I could help!
Yes! Thats what i was looking, some creeps random videos suddenly mentioning bios and non-sense is pure cringe.
Your video helped tons! Bless you.

What would I do without this video? Thanks.
Big help man thanks!
OMGGGGGGGGG thank you so much i would'nt have been able to sort out my M.2 if it wasn't for this vid

You are the king. I am install 990 evo 1TB. Thanks a lot!!!
This helped me. Thank you. ☺
Reusing footage I see, with the initialization on Windows ;) clever. Both very informative and useful videos !
Thanks, I was getting worried when I installed my M.2 and nothing showed up. You'd think windows would bring up a message "Hey I noticed you installed a new drive, want to configure it so you can USE IT"
Wow I was about to buy a new ssd for my gaming pc that I’m building but now I realise I can take the m.2 ssd from laptop and use it
I just built a new pc and istalled the samsung 990 pro m.2 but my system doesnt detect the drive. What do i have to do. Now theres now way for me to install windows.
Thx for the simple video support did me good 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Perfect tutorial! Thank you! Now i am off to find about 24 new AAA games to fill up the new drive.
THis video got me feeling like im a pro PC builder. 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
good job dude, it's help me so much :)
Thank you. Nobody said it better than you 👍🏻
You’re great help ❤ step by step correct.
