- Short video on how to install additional memory in the new Dell Inspiron 7000 (7579) 2-in-1 laptop.
The memory you need is DDR4 2133 MHz. Mine came with 2400 mhz ram, but it looks like it only runs at 2133.
Great video. One suggested addition: After upgrading the RAM, my Dell Inspiron laptop opened in BIOS and gave me the option to either "continue," "bios setup," or "diagnostics." I just clicked "continue" and that seems to be working, but I wasn't sure which was correct because the manual doesn't say.
Thank you for taking the time to share this information. It was a great help.
In this video, he added an 8gb stick, when there was already a 16gb stick installed. I thought you could not do that? I thought both sticks needed to be the same gb size?
You can use different size ram sticks, but it wont maximize performance. In this case, it will perform in dual channel as two 8GB sticks, and the remaining 8GB on the 16GB stick will operate in single channel mode. It's not optimal, but adding the additional stick will still increase performance.
Good day, is it possible to install a secondary hard drive to go along with the SSD already install
Unfortunately, I do not believe so (From doing a quick search on google, it appears there is not enough room to put a 2.5" SSD)
@@MagmaticZebra OK thanks.
If both slots are currently used, and you want to replace both of them, does any sort of backup need to be done?
Nope. Ram replacement doesn't require any sort of backup.
Great video! Make me realize how easy is to do it myself! Thanks!
I have dell Inspiron 15 7000 8gb ram and i do add 4gb ram total 12gb it showing 12gb ram i am asking is it save to the laptop by runners 2 different ram
I have mine installed, but now it's not showing up on my system memory
hello my laptop is inspiron 15 700 version (7590) what ram version do i need. I know that its DDR4 but idk what mhz ram it is.
can I keep the stock SSD and add up another 2.5" Sata HDD 500gb or 1 TB
What other options do I have??
You would need the SATA connector to do this. I'm not sure where you would be able to buy that. The only space I would see is right below the SSD, but it might not be enough... there is a plastic piece there that might block it.
Trent Buys thanks really appreciate it
Very nice video!
Nice video, thanks a lot. Question: Dell Inspiron 2in1 model 7506, year 2021, is possible to change or up-grade the SSD? The current is a 256GB, may I up-grade it to 512GB? Thanks.
Yep. You can follow the service manual here to change it out: dl.dell.com/topicspdf/inspiron-15-7506-2-in-1-laptop_service-manual_en-us.pdf
Thank god someone who speaks English!
my guy sounds like mr beast
it mean 1600mhz clock speed
Can you show us how to upgrade the ssd? I just bought the 15.6 version with 256 GB ssd.
Can I add another SSD to the laptop or do I have to replace the one that's currently inside it?
Dell states that this laptop supports only 16GB of ram, but apparently that is not true. Is your system stable using these 24GB of RAM? Bought the same model a few days ago, but it came with 4+8GB sticks. I'm planning on upgrading it to 32GB.
Renan Ramalho I have the same model and it's fine with 32gb of crucial 2400mhz ram and noticed a difference in response time, speed and multimedia use but that has more to do with the fact that's it's running in dual channel mode than the amount of ram
Renan Ramalho did you ever update the dell 7579 to 32GB?
Hey trent do you know if it is possible to put a higher capacity battery like a 72 whr battery as opposed to the 42 whr one that comes with it?
Can you put a hdd 2.5? Because it has connector for sata
nico iglesias No, for this laptop the storage has to be of the M.2 form factor.
Hi Trent i was told that if you buy a laptop with 16gb RAM that you need to install the same one 16gb RAM if you want more memory. Was he lying to me? Because from this video it seems like i was lied to. Thx!
It doesn't need to be the same brand, but it does need to be the same type and speed (For my case it was DDR4 2133 MHz.)
where is the 2.5" hdd slot?
There is none. It uses M.2 slot for SSD.
alright... i was looking for a different laptop then i guess
I have just added some extra ram to it (8gb @ 2666 MHz) to the already 16gb I had, but now when I turn the laptop on, the keyboard lights turn on and the center battery light turns yellow and flashes yellow multiple times but nothing happens - the screen stays black. Did this happen to you as well if the DRAM did not work/ was not compatible ?
It could be a bad stick of ram. Removing the ram solves the problem? The yellow blinking lights are codes... look how many times it blinks then look up Dell yellow light codes for your laptop
@@MagmaticZebra removed the new ram and it was back working. Tried a #2nd time and it worked with the new ram (even though was more performant)
@@Bogdan_T Oh cool. It probably wasn't seated quite right in the ram slot the first time.
Can you recommend a piece to buy? I'm on amazon and I see a lot of choices

Thanks, but I already bought one
not even the right one to buy its a 204 pin ddr3 you need a 260 pin ddr4
If you go to the Crucial website, they can do a diagnostics of your system and recommend a range of upgrades. You then just chose the one you want and can afford. They won't recommend anything that won't be compatible, so that's one less thing to worry about.

@TrentBuys Is it possible to upgrade the SSD?
Yep. It takes a standard M.2 SSD and can be replaced.
Thank you Trent Buys for that.
If i change the capacity, it isn't going to speed up the laptop any further right ? since it is a SATA based SSD
If you replace it with a NVMe SSD, it would be faster. It goes in the same M.2 slot, but the data transfer rates are a lot higher. That being said, SSD's are already pretty quick, so you probably wouldn't notice unless you are transfering a ton of data at once.
OH! Okay then, Thank you for helping me out Trent Buys Much appreciated
Is there any room for 2.5" ssd ?
I think its B key m.2, are u sure it supports nvme ?
So I have this laptop...anyone got a keyboard replacement video?
what does increasing ram do for your laptop? I also have a Dell 7579 i7, it came with 12gb of ram. I just purchased 2 16 GB RAM sticks, can't wait to see what it does for me
Increasing the ram will help with any applications that are hogs of ram (with 12GB, those are pretty rare), and the more ram you have, the more stuff you can do at one time.
best analogy is hard drive is to a file cabinet for storage as memory is to a desk. the larger the desk the more tasks you can do and it wont slow down. small desk shit is everywhere and you spend time searching and get bogged down....
The ram sticks are sold haphazard as double stick combos, can I get a single 16 gb stick and keep the 8gb in the computer that came with and then have 24 gb ram. Also where do you buy the rAm you said 80 bucks, lowest i see are like 160 bills
Yeah, you can add a single 16gm stick and keep the 8gb. Unfortunately, Ram prices have gone through the roof since I made this video a year ago :(.
do you need to take note of the cas latency and other shiz?
Hi, Trent. How to display that info in Windows 10? Thank you
that's the bios info. press f1 or f2 when rebooting to get in the bios setting.
I have Dell Inspiron 15 7000(7579), too. but 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD version. Can I upgrade SSD to 512 or more? Or Can I change SSD to HHD? Or use both of it at the same time? Thanks
I'm not good at hardware (;
You can upgrade the SSD to 512 or more, yes. You can't change the SSD to HDD.
Trent Buys Thank you (:
if you need more space... external drive
Hello! I have installed new RAM and got a warning from Dell that the Memory has changed on my laptop. Options include: Continue, BIOS setup and Diagnostics. What do I do?
You might already figured this out, but just click on Continue to boot your laptop and you should be fine
ok mine shipped with 16gb... crucial says max is 16.... youre running 24... what's the max?
For that particular laptop, its 32.
you might have a different model laptop, or it might just be that crucial told you a different spec set for another laptop. Both are common mistakes.
I have a 7579 and have also read that 16gb is the max. This has me very curious that the max is really 32gb...
after you installed additional RAM, do we need to modify in the system information or just plug n play only?
Ru eL plug and play.
