Hello everyone and Welcome to HowFixit.
In this video I will show how to replace hard drive or install SSD drive in Dell G7 7790
laptop
On the bottom cover of the laptop, remove all the screws with a Phillips 1 screwdriver.
Next, take a plastic tool and begin to open the case of laptop.
I recommend using a plastic tool so as not to damage the laptop case when opening.
Disconnect the battery cable from the motherboard.
As you can see, an M2 SSD drive is already installed on this laptop, and you can also
install a hard drive or SSD drive.
The Dell G7 7790 supports any SATA3 HDD or SSD with a 2.5-inch form factor.
In the description I left link where you can buy a new HDD or SSD for a Dell G7 laptop.
Remove 3 screws securing the hard drive cage.
That's it, the hard drive installed, and now go to the reverse assembly.
Also in the description left a link to the video, where I explain the difference in the
types of SSD and Hard Drive between M2 SSD.
The Dell G7 7790 laptop has M2 slot for install an M2 SSD and if you decide to upgrade your
M2 drive, I recommend watching this video.
When you start a laptop with a new hard drive, you may not find a new partition, because
the new hard drive has the status of "unallocated".
Creating a new hard drive is very simple, go to the disk manager, then select an unallocated
drive from the list.
From the drop-down menu, select "New Simple Volume", then, specify volume size of memory
for the new partition, then select the file system (in my case it is NTFS) and give a
name to the new partition.
That's all, a new partition created and you can use it.
I hope this video was useful to you, you were at HowFixit and see you soon!
