00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.040
now everyone can benefit from the speed and reliability of an SSD but not

00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:13.360
everyone is comfortable opening up their pc to perform upgrades so

00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:15.599
we challenged ourselves to create an SSD

00:00:13.360 --> 00:00:19.279
upgrade guide that is so easy to follow along with that even a zombie could do

00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:25.279
it but how do you test such a concept well

00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:31.039
we could only think of one way we had some great luck though

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

00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:39.920
welcome my great great great great great great great uncle jim to our SSD upgrade

00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:44.000
guide however he's a little bit on the old

00:00:42.160 --> 00:00:49.840
side so you'll have to be patient he's still working on the first steps

00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:49.840
of the guide

00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:57.360
come on that was funny man oh hold on can someone give us a hand

00:00:55.280 --> 00:01:02.239
here jim's falling now that we've got jim somewhat stabilized over here it's

00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:07.520
time to begin so like all pc upgrades or repairs it starts with gathering all the

00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:13.439
tools you need at a safe clean workstation so first up

00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:15.520
a multi-bit screwdriver second up is a

00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:18.720
grounding strap no no it's okay not that kind of ground

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

00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:25.680
your wrist there we go that keeps your hardware

00:01:23.759 --> 00:01:31.680
safe from static electricity now if you'll just what the heck where's my

00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:31.680
phillips head hold on i'll be right back

00:01:34.880 --> 00:01:40.159
hey look at that i found it all right so now that we have the appropriate

00:01:38.240 --> 00:01:44.079
screwdriver bit we can go ahead and remove the screws from the side panel

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

00:01:46.479 --> 00:01:52.799
the case we can find the existing hard drive which is handy because it'll show

00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:58.079
you where the drives mount in your case and give you a point of reference for

00:01:55.520 --> 00:02:01.600
where the new drive is going to go you can also follow the connectors back to

00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:05.280
find out where they come from use four small screws they're going to

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

00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:15.200
onto a drive sled or however the mounting system works in your pc plug

00:02:12.480 --> 00:02:19.200
your SATA data and power connectors in then you can close up the side panels

00:02:17.200 --> 00:02:22.400
and boot the pc just like normal go ahead and press that power button jim

00:02:20.720 --> 00:02:26.800
thank you very much once you're at the Windows desktop you

00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:31.520
can go ahead and run the acronis cloning software that's included with your adata

00:02:29.200 --> 00:02:35.599
sp920ssd and basically it's a waiting game i

00:02:34.160 --> 00:02:40.640
would recommend here can you grab that again i would recommend before you start

00:02:37.920 --> 00:02:45.440
clearing any extra files off of your hard drive so that while you're waiting

00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:50.040
for them to transfer you don't get bored to

00:02:46.720 --> 00:02:50.040
i'm deaf

00:02:50.239 --> 00:02:57.280
oh come on that wasn't that bad give it a rest

00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:57.280
in peace

00:03:00.720 --> 00:03:07.599
you know jim you are doing absolutely fantastic you waited for the drive to

00:03:05.200 --> 00:03:10.319
clone and you didn't eat any brains at all

00:03:08.640 --> 00:03:14.640
great job all right so now that the cloning process is done you're going to

00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:20.400
want to enter the UEFI BIOS and reconfigure your SSD as your first boot

00:03:17.920 --> 00:03:24.640
device because otherwise you could boot up your computer you

00:03:22.640 --> 00:03:27.280
could boot up your computer and you wouldn't even be able to tell the

00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:31.599
difference between those two drives because the data on them the os and

00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:34.000
everything the programs are exactly the same i mean you'd be able to tell the

00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:38.640
difference because one is of course much much faster now

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

00:03:40.720 --> 00:03:47.840
that old hard drive you could give it to a friend in need for example

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

00:03:50.480 --> 00:03:55.760
so you can put your favorite music on it like monster match

00:03:53.519 --> 00:03:58.319
your favorite shows like walking dead and your favorite movie is like shawn of

00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:03.519
the dead the zombies even kind of win in that one don't they yeah

00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:08.080
yeah okay well um

00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:12.400
yeah okay you know what i think that's it i think

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

00:04:14.239 --> 00:04:18.599
man great job

00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:35.120
so there you have it folks ah a successful experiment i guess we learned

00:04:32.880 --> 00:04:38.880
a few things number one a zombie can indeed install an SSD with the right

00:04:36.880 --> 00:04:43.680
guidance number two aforementioned zombie can become enraged and turn

00:04:40.840 --> 00:04:48.400
violent and number three is contrary to what we thought before starting this uh

00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:52.400
process here you are not allowed to dig up the corpses even of your very close

00:04:50.479 --> 00:04:55.919
relatives so we will bear that in mind for next time uh in

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

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

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

00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:11.400
so peace out don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips and uh

00:05:11.919 --> 00:05:18.479
our thanks to adata for providing their sp 920 SSD for this guide it's fast

00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:21.479
affordable and apparently tastes like brains

00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:32.720
you
