1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,040
now everyone can benefit from the speed and reliability of an SSD but not

2
00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:13,360
everyone is comfortable opening up their pc to perform upgrades so

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:15,599
we challenged ourselves to create an SSD

4
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:19,279
upgrade guide that is so easy to follow along with that even a zombie could do

5
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:25,279
it but how do you test such a concept well

6
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:31,039
we could only think of one way we had some great luck though

7
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:34,880
and we were able to dig up the perfect assistant i'd love for you guys to

8
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:39,920
welcome my great great great great great great great uncle jim to our SSD upgrade

9
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:44,000
guide however he's a little bit on the old

10
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:49,840
side so you'll have to be patient he's still working on the first steps

11
00:00:47,039 --> 00:00:49,840
of the guide

12
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:57,360
come on that was funny man oh hold on can someone give us a hand

13
00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:02,239
here jim's falling now that we've got jim somewhat stabilized over here it's

14
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:07,520
time to begin so like all pc upgrades or repairs it starts with gathering all the

15
00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:13,439
tools you need at a safe clean workstation so first up

16
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:15,520
a multi-bit screwdriver second up is a

17
00:01:13,439 --> 00:01:18,720
grounding strap no no it's okay not that kind of ground

18
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,680
we're not gonna put you back in there jim so here i'm just gonna put this on

19
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:25,680
your wrist there we go that keeps your hardware

20
00:01:23,759 --> 00:01:31,680
safe from static electricity now if you'll just what the heck where's my

21
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,680
phillips head hold on i'll be right back

22
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:40,159
hey look at that i found it all right so now that we have the appropriate

23
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:44,079
screwdriver bit we can go ahead and remove the screws from the side panel

24
00:01:41,759 --> 00:01:48,479
here you go you'll need that and take the side panels off once we're inside

25
00:01:46,479 --> 00:01:52,799
the case we can find the existing hard drive which is handy because it'll show

26
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:58,079
you where the drives mount in your case and give you a point of reference for

27
00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:01,600
where the new drive is going to go you can also follow the connectors back to

28
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:05,280
find out where they come from use four small screws they're going to

29
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:09,840
be included with your case here you're going to need this too to mount the SSD

30
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:15,200
onto a drive sled or however the mounting system works in your pc plug

31
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:19,200
your SATA data and power connectors in then you can close up the side panels

32
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:22,400
and boot the pc just like normal go ahead and press that power button jim

33
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:26,800
thank you very much once you're at the Windows desktop you

34
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:31,520
can go ahead and run the acronis cloning software that's included with your adata

35
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:35,599
sp920ssd and basically it's a waiting game i

36
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:40,640
would recommend here can you grab that again i would recommend before you start

37
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:45,440
clearing any extra files off of your hard drive so that while you're waiting

38
00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:50,040
for them to transfer you don't get bored to

39
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,040
i'm deaf

40
00:02:50,239 --> 00:02:57,280
oh come on that wasn't that bad give it a rest

41
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,280
in peace

42
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:07,599
you know jim you are doing absolutely fantastic you waited for the drive to

43
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:10,319
clone and you didn't eat any brains at all

44
00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:14,640
great job all right so now that the cloning process is done you're going to

45
00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:20,400
want to enter the UEFI BIOS and reconfigure your SSD as your first boot

46
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:24,640
device because otherwise you could boot up your computer you

47
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:27,280
could boot up your computer and you wouldn't even be able to tell the

48
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:31,599
difference between those two drives because the data on them the os and

49
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:34,000
everything the programs are exactly the same i mean you'd be able to tell the

50
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:38,640
difference because one is of course much much faster now

51
00:03:36,959 --> 00:03:42,959
once you've done that and booted up into Windows you can decide what to do with

52
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:47,840
that old hard drive you could give it to a friend in need for example

53
00:03:45,519 --> 00:03:52,000
you don't have too many friends do you or you could use it as a storage drive

54
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:55,760
so you can put your favorite music on it like monster match

55
00:03:53,519 --> 00:03:58,319
your favorite shows like walking dead and your favorite movie is like shawn of

56
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:03,519
the dead the zombies even kind of win in that one don't they yeah

57
00:04:02,159 --> 00:04:08,080
yeah okay well um

58
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:12,400
yeah okay you know what i think that's it i think

59
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:15,360
we're pretty much done it's booted up you got your SSD in there you rocked it

60
00:04:14,239 --> 00:04:18,599
man great job

61
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:35,120
so there you have it folks ah a successful experiment i guess we learned

62
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:38,880
a few things number one a zombie can indeed install an SSD with the right

63
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:43,680
guidance number two aforementioned zombie can become enraged and turn

64
00:04:40,840 --> 00:04:48,400
violent and number three is contrary to what we thought before starting this uh

65
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:52,400
process here you are not allowed to dig up the corpses even of your very close

66
00:04:50,479 --> 00:04:55,919
relatives so we will bear that in mind for next time uh in

67
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:59,919
the meantime guys like this video if you disliked it or liked it if you liked it

68
00:04:57,759 --> 00:05:02,800
dislike it if you disliked it uh give it a share if you think other people need

69
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:07,199
to know how simple it is to install an SSD but in the meantime guys we gotta go

70
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:11,400
so peace out don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips and uh

71
00:05:11,919 --> 00:05:18,479
our thanks to adata for providing their sp 920 SSD for this guide it's fast

72
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:21,479
affordable and apparently tastes like brains

73
00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:32,720
you
