Hi everyone, welcome to HowFixit. In this video guide, I gonna show you how to upgrade or install
the M2 SSD on Dell G15 5510 laptop To disassemble Dell G15 5510 laptop,
you will need the following tools: Phillips 1 screwdriver
Plastic opening tools Tweezers
I also recommend using a magnetic mat during the repair process, which is especially useful
in case of Dell G15 5510 laptop. Throughout this disassembly, keep track of each screw so you can
put them back in the right places - this will help successfully reassemble your device. And
don't worry about losing any of screws, all of them will definitely remain on the magnetic mat.
In the description, I left links where to buy all necessary tools.
Turn the laptop over and remove all the screws on the bottom cover.
Use a plastic tool to open the laptop case. I recommend using a plastic tool so as not
to damage the laptop case when opening it. Disconnect the battery cable from the motherboard.
The Dell G15 5510 laptop supports the SSD type of M2 NVMe storage. In the description,
I left a link where to buy the M2 SSD for an upgrade.
This laptop has an additional M2 SSD slot. You can install a new M2 SSD drive in the additional slot,
or you can install the old SSD drive. You may need a mounting bracket for an additional M2 SSD drive.
Sometimes such a bracket is included with the laptop, if not, you need to buy it separately.
Also in the description, I left a link to a video where I explain the difference between
two types of M2 SSD drives, which work on the SATA 3 bus and PCI Express bus. If you don't
know what type of M2 drive you need to upgrade your laptop, I recommend watching this video.
After installing the new SSD, you need to transfer the operating system to a new drive or install a
new operating system. In the description, I left a link to the video guide where I show
how to transfer Windows OS to a new SSD or how to install a new operating system on a new SSD drive.
