- In this video I guide you through repairing a computer that has a failed hard drive. I take out the faulty drive and replace it with an SSD, which will make the computer faster than it was originally. I then show you how to install Windows 10 on the new SSD, making it work like a brand new computer.
You'll need a Windows 10 installation USB - check out another video of mine, where i show you how to create one: • How to create a Window...
Kingston do a range of reliable SSD drives at various sizes

Thank you so much! I'm a 50 yo female, and am proud to have installed the SSD myself, thanks to your video. :)
Awesome work, enjoy the speed! Thanks :)
I don’t know why but this put a smile on my face
@@steventheelf5986 same
I did it myself too. Felt real good
Whats her age got to do with it ?.
Finally, Thank you! No gimmicky attitude or arrogance. Polite, pleasant, great instructor. Subbed.
I have to say this was one of easiest videos to follow and helped me to understand the installation of the windows process without having to partition the drive. I almost threw out my favorite laptop but took a chance and bought a cheap $23.99 119 gb SSD and now it's better and faster than when I bought it.
0:44 that's the question I had to ask bro! I searched the entire internet and finally you answered it!!
Thanks my guy, helped me replace a broken hdd with a new ssd. Video got it all covered, so it was a smooth experience for a tech newb like me :)!
Thank you Dave, simple IT for dummies style CZcams videos (for me), Samsung All-in-one 500gb HDD just failed and I had no recovery disk/usb. Using this and the 'create media video' I have just got my PC back up and going with a 2TB drive.
Great work buddy and I'd highly recommend your simple, easy to follow but detailed demos. Can't tell you how much this has helped at this difficult time with no shop repairs possible.
Thank you.
You have a very underrated channel. Thanks a ton I changed my hdd with a sdd.
I've had my Lenovo T530 since 2017,brought it used from a business. And she was running slow to the point i almost trash it. But i found your video, and new life is in my computer. Thank You so much for your easy to follow steps.
Excellent tutorial. You are calm and straight to the point! Thank you.
Hi Dave, many thanks for this video. I made a few searches on CZcams to replace my SSD drive with a new SSD drive. Finally it was your video it made it seamless and smooth to replace SSD and to install Windows 10. I now have a new laptop which works great! Thanks again. Just to let you know this is my first ever review on CZcams.
This was perfect and will be a great help when I upgrade to an SSD - Job well done!
Absolutely perfect! Replaced a corrupted PC hard drive, made a windows 10 USB backup from my other laptop and installed them all.....the video was brilliant and my screen showed all the instructions you gave. Thank you....made my day not having to pay someone else to do it!!!!!
Great, simple, straight forward to the point video. Cheers mate.👍🏼
Thanks from Texas Dave. Your simple explanations make these things not so daunting.
I managed to change my failed hard disc to a SSD following your instruction. Your instructions are very clear and easy to following. This is the first time I've done this and it gives me confidence to upgrade my other laptop. Thanks so much. I've watched other videos on youtube on how to change hard disc, yours is the best, especially when you suggested we search for the service manual from the manufacturer as a guide. This really helps. Thanks so much. Keep making more of these videos on CZcams.
Do we have purchase new windows license or will the laptop automatically install Windows with the original license key
Awesome job! I installed a new ssd with new memory and followed these directions for an easy and flawless windows 10 installation. Thank you!
No question. I just appreciate the help. Thanks, Dave.
Really wanted to say thanks. Ive searched up videos before when ive had other tech issues and the time they wouldnt exactly solve my problem but this time it was spot on. It's actually simple now in hindsight but still good video thank you
64 year old 👵 n I've done it! Cheers, your info was a big help. I did the USB then followed your plonka proof info on this vid. Love you!
This helped a ton! Simple and to the point, thank you!!!

Also, you might want to press the power button for 3-5 secs to get rid of any electricity inside the computer from when it was last shut down.
By far this is the most accurate tutorial I've watched . Thanks a lot mate.
Thanks very much Dave. My hard drive failed on my laptop, I tried every recommended option in the troubleshooting menu, even tried some browsing in command prompt. Looks like the drive went bad. I was able to replace the hard drive with an SSD and reboot a new windows 10 from following your other video. Thanks a bunch for the guide
Great video! When I got to the step of flipping the laptop over, I was pleasantly surprised that my Dell Inspiron 15-7559 had only a single screw to remove the entire back panel.
Thanks a lot for the instructions. Just replaced hdd with ssd on my 10 year old laptop and the boot time has gone down from 4 mins to 40 secs!!! Keep up the good work.
thanks so much Dave, the steps are straightforward and very helpful. I upgraded to SSD cos my HDD crashed. Now I have my laptop back.
Thanks Dave
Thanks for the video, Dave! This has inspired me to replace the HDD on my 2010 Macbook Pro. It gave me a solid eight years, and I honestly think I can squeeze out another few with this solution. I've gotten so attached to the dang thing; would much rather go through the trouble of bringing it back to life than purchasing a new laptop.
I know the process of installing the OS will be different so I will research it on my end, but any help will be appreciated!
Good Looking out Dave! I'm subscribing. You saved a perfectly good dell touchscreen laptop.
I did it, I did it, I did it, so nerve wracking, but for 89 bucks I restored an 11 year old Samsung R580, from 120 Gig to a 500 Gig SSD, whew, now have space for files again. Thanks for the help
This helped immensely! You give concise and easy instructions!
Worked like a charm! I saved $700 on a new computer by just purchasing a $50 SSD with 500GB. Thank you so much!
this is one of the best videos on setup!!!! I jhave a really old gen 1 Alienware that I want to change the hardrive from HDD to SSD and your videos are getting me on that path....thanks soo much
Thanks, Could not have done it with out you. Clear and concise.
Thanks, this was what I needed: a concise and clear instruction for reviving my crashed SSD with a new installation of Win10.
Extremely helpful! Just gave a bit more life to an older gaming laptop. Thank you!!!
thank you so much for this video. It was 100% accurate and exactly what I was looking for. I just subscribed to your channel. keep up the great work!
Thank you very much and your a life saver 😊👍🏼 I managed to fix my busted laptop with this video 😊 the tutorial was so detailed, someone like me who did this for the first time was able to do it successfully 🥳
I just did this for the first time. Very helpful. Well spoken clear instructions. Thank you
They come in different storage sizes, so you could use it as a chance to get a bigger c drive. They are more expensive than hard drives though.
Thankyou you r a real life saver.I have made window recovery using your prev video .And I have reinstalled my window 10 on new ssd ,even preinsralled ms office 2016 edition by watching some videos.Thanks a lot .
Hey I used both this video and usb windows 10 video, both worked great. I upgraded my HP to ssd drive and ram and loaded windows. All easy thanks to ur videos
Huge thumbs up!! Watched this, and the video you made re: making at USB drive. Had a desktop that ground to a halt (literally couldn't sign in to it anymore) and this process (including buying Win 10 pro on ebay.ca for $8 cad!!!) worked flawlessly. Not sure if you can tell, but I am ON TOP OF THE WORLD after not having my PC running for more than 2 months now... THANK YOU for making these videos!!
Brilliant! You really helped me. I was a little worried about Windows 10 asking me for my product key from before “the drop”. I read that it should remember it from the Bios/Motherboard. Thankfully, I did everything you said and Windows 10 remembered my key!🤗
Amazingly clear and precise video. Thank you.
how did you know it took it from the BIOS? it happened automatically after Windows started? I'm worried about mine as well...
This was perfect!! exactly what i needed to know, delivered clearly!! super work!!
Invaluable video, I rarely comment but will do when it's warranted.
Thank you so much! You’re videos are great- very well explained and helpful
Doing an internship and I've never done a notebook before. This was spot on since I'll be doing HP n Dell. Thanks you gave me a good starting point, at least I won't look like a total newb.
Excellent Dave - very imformative .
Thanks heaps for the information, I have installed ssd in my laptop and it’s super fast now.👍👍
A million thanks to you my guy, my computer was toast my dad said my hard drive was completely broken, my computer had a system32 error that I had been trying to fix on my own. I replaced my computer with a 1tb hard drive, it took all night but it worked! Thanks again :D
Very clear instructions. Make life much simpler. Thanks
It was so helpful for me... so easy to understand... thank you 😊👍
Great video! Thank you, this helped immensely!
Dave, Here we are in November 2023 and I found your video! Thank you for the great tutorial to get me up and running again here in Pensacola, FL, USA! I did buy a 240GB SSD and then just now looking at my old, dead HHD, it is 500GB. Oh well! Your video got me up and running again! Cheers Mate!
Thank you so much for this simple video helped to solve all my problems, easy, simple, quick, well made, you have a huge thumbs up from me
Great video helped me so much thank you!
This channel is gold
This video helped a lot. You're the man!
Brilliant, nice, clear and simple, thanks
Worked great! Thanks for a easy to follow video.
Great teacher. Well done! And thank you.
very informative and useful
Very easy to listen to and very clear instructions. Thank you/
I watched this and the companion video on how to download Windows onto a USB and they were excellent. I'm a complete novice and this saw me though the whole process. Thanks Dave. The only problem is that now I have no sound. If anyone reading this knows why installing a new SSD and Windows would completely stop the sound from working, do let me know!
Best tuto for this 👍
Made it so easy very clear and easy to understand
very clear intructions thanks!
Excellent tutorial, as was the last one re How to create a windows 10 installation USB.
Many thanks.
I just paid $318. to a tech to replace my hard drive with a 250 gb & re-install windows 10. This is a great video. I could have saved a fortune if I had found it first. Thank you.
I have been looking for the solution for my hard drive disc which has been showing difficulty on starting up and I came up with the plan to change it but I don’t know how so this video is very clear on how to change it and I am thankful. Thank you so much and subscribed😅
Great video! Thank you, Sir. We appreciate your input as well as your rendition of it. We are very much obliged and utterly grateful for your selfless contribution. Among many credits, you get a full set of Five Stars!
Great video. Really, really helpful. Many thanks.
Thanks a ton. You got a new subscriber here !
brilliant video ,clear and to the point ,,full marks.
Thank you for explaining the windows 10 install.
Thanks Dave worked perfectly! Regards,
THANKS DAVE AND THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING PROPER ENGLISH
Fabulous demo. Thumbs up have subbed.
Thank you so much. My laptop's hard drive recently died without any warning, and I lost a ton of information as a result (better remember to back things up next time). Anyway, in order to have it replaced, Best Buy was going to charge me $300 dollars packaged with a repair service that I wouldn't even need. After watching your video, repairs amounted to approximately $150 dollars.
Very helpful thank you :)
Very useful video thank you.
Excellent tutorial !!!!
I've been searching for this video where I can direct install windows into SSD by replacing the HDD. But everywhere, it's either HDD+SSD install or clone windows. Thank you.
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!
SUBSCRIBED!
Thank you for your teaching.
I will buy new ssd and upgrade RAM for my 2017laptop
Thank you so much for this!
Brilliant video, thanks.
thanks, very helpful
I love you .... this saved my life
REALLYY,IT WORKS A LOT, THANKS BRO,saved my laptop,saved my bucks,saved energy
Thank you for this video. This fixed my laptop after the tech had told me that the motherboard was fried and I should get a new pc. I didn't believe him.
This was perfect. And I spotted a spare ram slot when I was replacing my bricked HD. So it will be a memory upgrade next.
First of all, you're AWESOME for freely sharing knowledge!! I have a bunch of laptops with no HD's in them and I kinda wanted to install linux. How much BS would I have to go through, or should I say, would Microsoft put me through to do this? Remember I'm starting with NO HD to clone or anything, so any of your expertise would be sincerely and truly appreciated, should you decide to share it. Either way, still thanks for what you've already done!!
PS - www.manualslib.com/ is the BOMB for service manuals of ALL kinds of electronics ... FREE, if you don't use that site yet, you'll LOVE it I'm sure
Thank you so much 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you so much man!! ✨✨
Finally a video with an HP describing how to properly get to the HD in my case my PC has both an ssd and regular HD and only after a month the SSD failed and the regular HD is going strong THIS was extremely annoying since windows was installed on the failed ssd and i had to move it over to the HD for the pc to even work personally i have not been impressed with ssd lol tnx again for posting and if i ever get bored enough i will disassemble my pc and try to get that ssd working once again but im in no hurry.
Great video doing it right man 👍🏼
excellent thanks matey
Thanks so much going to try it on my pc
thank dave, i love youuu
Great!!!! Thank you very much!
