Excellent video. I have the Latitude 3590 with just a 500G HDD and only 4GB of RAM. I had already ordered an upgrade for my RAM, and thanks to your video, I bought the exact same SSD for my laptop. Unlike your customer though, I want to keep the HDD along with Win 10 Pro, Office and other software I have already installed. I'd like to get your thoughts on my plan, and you can set me straight before I make mistakes or miss something that could trip me up. Steps I plan to do: 1. Install SSD as shown in video. 2. Restart laptop to make sure the 3590 recognizes the SSD. 3. Format SSD. Regular NTFS format??? 4. Clone HDD to SSD using either Samsung Cloning software or 3rd party software recommended by Dell. 5. Restart laptop, hitting F12 to get into the BIOS and set the start-up drive as the SDD. 6. After confirming that everything is working, format HDD and use it for file storage. Does this all sound about right? I appreciate your input and guidance.
No need to format. Just load up Samsung data migration and let it do its thing. After it shuts down you will need to disconnect the hard drive so that it will boot to the SSD. You could also leave the hard drive in and force it to boot the ssd with the boot menu key. Then format the hard drive. Or if you have a usb hard drive adapter you could use that to connect the drive and reformat it.
@@fatgeek Thanks again for all the info. I installed the 970 EVO Plus SSD, upgraded memory to 32GB and everything seemed to go well. I installed Samsung Data Migration to the HDD and it loads fine, detects both drives but when I click "Start" the clock runs but absolutely nothing transfers and it sits at 0% forever. I checked the driver for the SSD and Win10 says I have the most up-to-date driver. I formatted the SSD and it shows in Win Explorer. What am I missing? Is it because I have the Migration software installed on the source drive? Does it have to run from it's own drive (like a USB stick)?
@@brianmumford2521 I have had that issue with antivirus blocking things, last time I had to disable norton and reinstall the samsung data transfer software. It's not an issue with the drive or other hardware.
Well done video indeed! As a follow up your could have showed how you configured the SSD M.2 drive as the primary boot drive for the new windows install. Maybe next time perhaps? Again well done.
Hi!, do you know which battery models are compatible?, I have 42w battery type wdx0r, in the video you said that we can upgrade it with the 56 w battery, but it hasn't the same voltage
My work is considering buying several new latitudes to use as loans for visiting staff. Would you say the build quality on these are good? We're looking for a relatively sturdy device that will deal well with not being treated the best. Most don't tend to treat devices well. Our old devices are e5540s and they are like tanks.
Thanks for the reply. Sadly the 5000s dont come with any GPUs standard. Will have to contact them to see if it can be done. We'll be using them for some moderate 3D modelling work on the side as well.
Was there hdd bay in place, even though you have bought m2 version? I am thinking about buying one and doing the same, so I kinda need to know. Thank you in advance.

I'm a bit confused because on many websites say that the laptop supports M.2 NVMe SSD but on the dell website it says that it doesn't. I want to upgrade my pc with an NVMe could you give me some advice??
I've inserted similar disk (WD Black), disk started, visible since the beginning, Win installed without any problem, but when I try to make a sys update, it crashes...
What does one need to replace in the Dell 11" latitude education (CeleronDual Core 2.4 GHz Clock Speed4 GB DDR3 RAM128 GB SSDIntel HD Grphics) in order to be able to install a faster processor and upgrade the ram since it's soldered? I'm happy to change the motherboard too if necessary.
yes you would have to replace the motherboard if the CPU and RAM are soldered on. Probably not worth doing, would likely be cheaper to sell it and buy a different laptop.
@@fatgeek thanks so much. I got it as a gift actually so I don't mind spending on the parts. If you could tell me what I need I would be so grateful. Need a small laptop for work desperately many thanks
Also for everyone watching this video, not all ssds nvme are compatible with this Dell, the Kingston A2000 it's not compatible. Learn it the hard way...
Hi I inserted an M2 which is a Trancend 240GB to my new 3590. I have cloned it with the original OS partition using the Trancend cloning software. But it doesnt boot with the SSD even if I have removed the SATA. How can I add a new boot option for the SSD?
If the SATA drive is intact I would try a clean install of windows on the m.2 SSD. If that boots just fine then your clone software didn’t work properly and you can retry that.
Install the new device without removing the old one first, boot your original Windows, and format the NVMe drive, then clone, then swap. If you just clone to the new drive and try to start Windows, it won't have any drivers for NVMe devices.
@@fatgeek What a waste! Keyboards break often and the 3550-80 lines all had easily replaceable ones. Why make it more difficult and more expensive to fix?
I was trying to upgrade my ram and i only take the ram and then again insert it into slot now my laptop is taking charge but when i push power button my laptop is not opening 😓😓😓😫😓
Hi, does someone knows if this Dell accepts ssd and hdd simultaneously? Or do you have to choose between one or another? Thank you so much in advance, I hope someone can guide me.
@@fatgeek I asked because apparently the Kingston A2000 it's not compatible and I don't know why, I am hoping Adata gets the job done. Thanks so much for taking the time to answer in the name of all of us that are new to this stuff.
We just bought these for the training courses we run. We don't make hardware changes. The machines take the image but after a restart, they won't boot back up. Never had this issue with older Dell models.

Ugh, that case is a pain. But nice that the RAM slots were super easy to get to.
Thanks so much for the tutorial!
got this from school way back around the time of this vid, needed this
Some of these Dell laptops require a mounting bracket for the NVME drives. I'm glad this one does not. Thanks for the awesome video! :)

Why not install the SSD for the OS and applications and leave the HDD in for additional storage space?
BHYZ83 that’s not what our customer ordered. However you could certainly do that.
Would I just need to install a new HDD on the motherboard and forget it? Or would I need any additional drivers or stuff?

You can’t just add a ssd for expandable storage? I don’t want to take out the HD just add more storage
You can but you should absolutely run the OS from the SSD. The performance would be much better.
I've inserted similar disk (WD Black), disk started, visible since the beginning, Win installed without any problem, but when I try to make a sys update, it crashes...
Did this thing actually boot up? Dell's website says the m.2 slot is SATA only, but the 960 Evo is NVME??
Yes it worked just great and about 10 others after this.
What kinda watch is that? how do you have video on it?... also what kinda screw driver is that?
It’s an Apple Watch and it’s just controlling the camera on my iPhone that was filming. The screwdriver is an ES121.
how do you increase hard drive memory for the laptop while retaining current hard drive
You can always clone the OS and all other info over to an SSD, then delete it from your HDD. JayzTwoCents has a great video on it for beginners.
so if it's hhd we need to remove it?
You can but it can have both. Just depends on what you want to do. I don’t run spinning disks at all and haven’t for 14 years now.

is secure boot enabled?
