2.5 inch hdd or sata ssd can be added, the tools for mounting the drive are included in the box, and the slot is right there on the left of ram slot, its labelled "hdd".
I didn't get the tools in the box but have the slot 😔
@@9.8.same here..I think they have stopped giving it
Might depend on what country you buy it, or when. I got mine last year in the UK, deffo didn't get that. Wish I knew that earlier, can't even get the back off but I can see through the side that the plugs and all are indeed missing.
@@Dan.Tebasco here in india I enquired with tech support he confirmed tht they have stopped giving it..but he said they can get it done at my home at if i wanted
@@arvindm1946I'm from India as well and considering buying this laptop. How much did he say that it would cost to add an HDD? Including fitting cost and all.
Thanks a lot. You approach/format was really well done; very clear and informative.
Many thanks for the detailed description of what is what within the laptop.
Some may think it's unnecessary but there are many who value a second confirmation of which component is which.
Thank you👍
Here is an answer to all those who are looking for maximum RAM capacity on the Asus Vivobook 15 X515JA series laptops, the laptop supports a maximum of 20/24 GB RAM depending on whether the RAM soldered on your motherboard is 4/8 GB. Though Asus suggests that this series supports a maximum of 12 GB RAM, You can literally add a 16 gb RAM on the single RAM slot given on the motherboard. The system will work like a charm. I did the same despite ASUS telling me not to do that, but yes it works and helps a lot in multitasking (I am using multiple applications like 2-4 chrome windows with 80-100 tabs per window, word, excel and R, simultaneously and the system works very well. Hope this will help someone who has invested a lot of his time searching for the solution instead getting confused reading various suggestion on the internet.
I have the exact same laptop and may i ask does it heat or you hear loud fan noise while working and how to deal with it
change fan mode@@gokujr07
where to get this 16 gb ram? and can this be changed at home?
@@hemu0711_ I bought it from Amazon. And I changed the ram myself. Saved a lot of time and money also. Always check the specifications of your ram installed in the laptop. I suggest you buy crucial ram as the performance is good.
@@gokujr07 I actually didn't get this issue. My laptop is quite silent and my fan doesn't make much noise. Sometimes, after heavy works the device gets heated.
You are my hero and my salvation thank you so much I was really in need for this video
Thank you for the helpful video, I've installed RAM in the past I just wanted to get an idea of everything's position inside and also make sure there weren't any screws hiding in weird places.
I've just bought the Ryzen 3/256GB SSD/4GB ram version of this laptop and I got it for a good price in the Easter sale and I'm happy with it for what I paid. Good to see that it's got a 2.5" SATA bay so that when I upgrade my storage I can keep my NvME stick and just get an 2.5" SSD and stick it there. I have just ordered another 4GB of RAM online as I felt that was the bottleneck and will be installing it when it comes, I didn't pay much for it so specs will be decent once the RAM is upgraded.
I subbed!
Me too same situation was it hard to add the memory what type is it? Thx
How is it now?
Nice simple video, thx !
Thank you buddy, great video.
Thank you for this... any info where from I can get the kit (rubber brackets/case and ssd-hdd flatflex cable) to install 2.5'' SATA SSD -I have spare one ? I've looked quite some time, only found that from Asus England and with delivry it costs more than a brand new NVEMe 500GB.
Thank you so much, I appreciate it
Great video, thanks for the info, I will definitely upgrade the ram.
No probs, glad to help 👍
@@ToxicNerd just installed 4GB of DDR4 Umox Ram from Amazon after reading reviews saying it worked in their system. It is 2400 Mhz CL17 Sodimm 260 PIN ram. However, when I view Task Manager it says still 4GB. And when I scan it with Mr Memory is says only 4GB of Samsung installed. Does that mean this ram is faulty or incomptable. I didn't remove the battery as struggled to get the cable out. Thanks for any advice.
Update, I got it working, I disconnected the battery this time, removed the ram module, readded it and now have 8gb, cheers!
Thanks. Display panel IPS or TFT?
Спасибо тебе, мужик!
Ты делаешь полезное видео!
Thank you for your kind words👍
Awesome - thx😀💪
Excellent thanks for this easy tutorial showing us everything. Can you do a wifi upgrade for this laptop??
Soldered cpu sad. But u will upgrade ram then Ty for the video my dude
you are the best
Thank you
I bought the same item, you helped me a lot, thank you very much.
Glad to help 👌
Does every x515ea variant's ram and ssd is upgradable irrespective to their variants(like x515ea-ej312ws,ej302ts etc)? If yes then upto how much ram and ssd we can upgrade ?
awesome video, thank you
@ToxicNerd After install SSD do we need to install windows again? Or OS will transfer to new SSD automatically?
Hey do you have a video showing after the upgrading. I have the same laptop however I’m stuck on the Aptio Setup Utility and I’m not sure what to fix
Thanks for the video, it is very informative. I am just wondering why did you have to reinstall Windows 10, instead of cloning it to the bigger size SSD and use the full size of the new SSD? I think if you insert the SSD's in a USB case, then it is possible to do the cloning using a PC.
Cloning is fine, you can keep all your OS settings, data and installed programs without reinstalling everything. Initialize the SSD if it's new and set the partition style(MBR or GPT) the same as the source HDD.
3:50 I've spent 2 hours trying to get the back off, for some reason it won't come off (yes I have unscrewed all screws it's still stuck in the middle). Watching this video and particulary that time stamp I realise that mine doesn't have the attachments for the SSD 2.5 I was gonna put in either... I think potentially you can by some extra kit to attach it but at this time, considering I can't get the back open I'm thinking of just calling it quits... It works fine I just wanted more space, but probably not worth damaging it for it.. Which I might already have tbh... Anyway what I was gonna say was I wish I watched this video before I started, it didn't help me open it unfortunately but you pointing out the lack of connecting the 2.5 SSD was an eyeopener.
I spent 40 minutes, damaging my nails, an old card, a sticker remover, and the laptop plastic, before deciding to just try to rip the back cover off in desperation, and it ended up working and it came off 😅 (not that I’m recommending anyone to try this).
I have the 15 i3 with 8gb ram, can I add another 8gb card??
I chechked lots of ram 8-16-32 and different kind of brands... some of didnt work but, 32gb kingston worked well. Only kingston 32gb works with mine !!!
Great video, I wonder can you tell me how I can upgrade my SSD drive while my windows 11 is on it?
Good Day!
Does it have a SATA connection? I didn't see it on the video. I would like to put a SSD SATA on my X515, it is cheaper.
Thank You So Much. Although I Had A Bit Of A New Model Of It But It Was Similar Enough♥. Also How Can I Dawnload That Benchmark ?
Could you replace the motherboard with one of the same model but with an i7. This model comes with i3 or i7. I'm not sure if the motherboards are different.
Does Asus Vivobook 16X could cater upgradeable SSD too? Up to 2tb nvme SSD just like in this video...
I can only add one stick of RAM, right? one of the bars is soldered, right?
i have on the asus vivobook 15 2x ram slots, but if i open my laptop i can only replace one, one the task manager it stands that i have 4 gb slot and 16 gb slot, my speed is 2400mhz, - on the internet they say if i buy 32gb with 2666mhz it will not be effective because my laptop only supports 2400mhz, but can i change the first slot with 4gb ? its not to seen if i open the laptop, i think its in the motherboard ? can i change it to 8gb or 16gb ? so that i have 16gb in the first ram slot and 16gb in the second ram slot ? pls help thank you
Is it the same as asus x515ep-ej338 ? Like if it's ram upgradable ?
i only thought there was 2 types of screws i think i accidentally mixed the 3rd one up what should i do
it sucks that dual channel is not possible on different ram sizes except 4gb cuz the other ram is soldered
does everything on your computer move to the new hardrive
What is the max capacity for ram and ssd to be upgraded?
Is there any way you can take out the 4gb ram instaled?
Hey brother please help me....I have same model x515EA. which has 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD. I'm using this laptop form 2021. But I recently updated my windows 10, and now its only shows 4GB ram...please tell me why?
Then I see device specifications on the laptop box. they mentioned (4GB+4GB) RAM on board...what it means....?, and aslo my laptop's task manager shows 2 slot for RAM, one is used and one is empty, but when I opened it. Laptop has only 1 RAM slot...
Please help....😢🙏🏻
Is the EA version different to this one?
The cooling design is quite interesting
You are right, makes very little sense 😅

Hi. I have the HFS256G39TND-N210A SSD on my ASUS vivobook but its almost full, so Im thinking about replacing it for SSD with capacity at least 1TB (maybe 2 TB). Can you pleqase advise which SSD type (exact name) wil be appropriate as replacement? Can it be only replaced or also added? Thanks!
Do you know the frequency of the SSD?
my one came with 256gb ssd and 8gb ddr4 ram but i do think of upgrading it thanks for the video

@@super_saiyaan_4 you mean did you disassemble the laptop and checked and there was only one slot with 4GB RAM?
@@um4r_arf yes
@@super_saiyaan_4 i think the motherboard has inbuilt 4gb ram and there's a slot for additional ram and you laptop must've come with a 4gb ram
@@um4r_arf yes but inbuilt (on board ram) is not working that's why it shows only 4GB....but i want to know how to solve this problem...🥺
Same mobo layout for Asus P1512P1512CEA-EJ0213. i5 11th gen
my laptop has only one slot for the ram and it s not removable. there is a tissue on it . where is the other ram slot for the x515ma
Why is that if i add 4g ram it show only 4gb? And if i remove the ram it couldn't open😢 so maybe the soldered is not showing?
Is cl22 supported in this laptop?
wait... idk. if this laptop is the same as mine.. it says on system information that the system model is VivoBook_ASUSLaptop X515EA_X515EA
pls recommend what ram stick i should put in. that would be really grateful
also. is it possible to add a hard drive in there?
Hi, as for ram: Crucial 8GB Single DDR4: amzn.to/3rdfHrp etc.
You can add 2.5" hard drive but you need HDD to MB cable/ribbon (it's not there by default) also you would need 2.5" hard drive caddy for this laptop model. Hope it helps.
CAn you please let me know about the wirelss adapter? Is it one anteena or two anteena? Actually I want to buy intel wifi card but I need to know about the number of anteena.
Just one antenna.
hdd conector is right from wifi card
we can add 2.5 ssd with a support, I think so..
Dual Channel 4+4 ???
Is 8GB Ram the max? I bought a 16GB and it only increased my Ram to 8GB.
is this applicable to x515DA?
Do you need to disconnect the battery for a ram only upgrade?
The battery clip struggles to come loose and I'm scared of breaking it.
Same Question..
Yes
Pull the metal clip first then pull the connector
@ToxicNerd hi how to find CMOS battery can reset password bios
can't we not take out the battery?
I HAVE A QUESTION. THERE IS NOT MEMORY CARD IN THE SPACE FOR IT WHEN YOU SHOW THE LAPTOP INSIDE, BUT YOU INSTALLED NEW ONES WITH 4GB RAM. WHERE WAS THE REST OF 4GB ? 'CAUSE YOU THAT YOU HAVE 8G RAM UPGRADED....
4GB is soldered to the motherboard and one additional upgradable slot.. that's where i installed 4GB, that makes 8GB in total.
Hello i have a problem with my asus x515EA laptop. I bought a 16gb ram stick to get from 8gb to 20gb ram. Before i had a replaceable 4gb ram and a built in 4gb ram in the mainboard. After installing the 16gb ram into the slot everything worked well and i had 20gb ram in total (16gb + 4gb built in ram). After that i made a bios update for the laptop and when it finished the ram is only 16gb according to the task Manager and now the laptop is only using 1 of 2 ram slots. How can i fix this ? Pls anyone help me with this.
This model is capable of a 2.5 hard drive there is a connector on the motherboard for it
You are right, just ribbon missing. My mistake 👍
Bro i can upgrade this laptop to 8 GB ram card..
Hello, can I upgrade my asus vivbookX515Ja-BQ521WS ram upto 20 gb? thanks in advance for your reply.
Yes you can 👍
Great video, thanks. My laptop should be 16gb as I've just changed the rmsick from an 8gb one. But it's still showing 8gb. Any ideas please to fix this.
Change DDR, it s fake 16GB. Or install CPU-Z and it show you exactly the DDR capacitat you installed on.
is there a cr2032 cmos battery
Can I ask what is the maximum ram I can put on this laptop. btw the specs is a little bit diff. core i5 w/ 8gb ram, I am thinking of upgrading it to the top
I think if you install additional 16GB stick you are maxed out.. but not 100% about that!
@@ToxicNerd I thought I had seen that you can upgrade it to 20GB?
not 100% but pretty sure I saw it somewhere, try a google with your model number
Good 👍
did you get it ?
I'd like to know too... thinking of taking out my 4gb replaceable memory and put a 16gb one, so I can have 4gb + 16gb, but I'm afraid it won't work well in single channel. @@ashimashraf6658

Is it possible to use a 2.5 inch SATA SSD instead of SATA HDD?
Yes, but you will need 2.5" HDD or SSD ribbon to connect it to motherboard.
@@ToxicNerd Thanks a lot for your reply!
I got a HDD ribbon in box maybe I have to get a SSD ribbon to make it work.
@@haxh1r where I can get the ribbon?
Bro did everything but failed to install or upgrade 2.5 SSD
Hi ! It can be upgraded only with 4gb ram ?
As far as I know ram memory work well only in pair with same values like 2 × 4gb or 2 × 8gb or 2 × 12gb .
If i add extra 8gb ram to the existing 4gb as far as i read on some forums might not work well.
Please let me know you view 👍
Just tried installing 8gb and it crashed
damn man, really? @@nnikitov57
I have a question, how I install my windows 11 home again after change my ssd?
Just fallow some CZcams tutorials. Loads of them available
Hello sir Thank you so much,
i have a question i have 4 gb integrated in motherboard i can add 16 gb ram so it will be 20 gb that's not gonna be a problem right ?
i have asus vivobook p1511ce i5-1135G7
No, there will be no problem👍
20GB is totally fine.
@@ToxicNerd thank you 🙏🏻
Did the 20gb work?
its processor can be changed
Can I put a 16 gb ram 3200 mhz? On model x515ja (I think is the same as yours)
I can only guess! That yes, have not tested personally.. so only a guess!
Have you done it? If you have and if it's working fine plz let me know I want to do the same
is there a limit to what size ssd you can upgrade too ?
I don't think so, but haven't installed greater than 1TB.
I have the same laptop but when I am checking in the task bar then it is showing only one slot for Ram still I can upgrade the ram
Yes you can👍
I have a Asus x409fa
Ram 8 GB
Came with 4Gb pre-installed in the slot
So if I want to upgrade to 16GB
I must buy 12Gb ram ?
And where can I locate the GPU
The builds are very similar
I think your option is to have 20GB in total by adding 16gb stick.. I don't think they make 12gb ram sticks.
@@ToxicNerd thanks
but does it affect gaming in a bad way to not have dual channel with this configuration?? @@ToxicNerd
Does this laptop work with dual channel memory? I have 8GB Ram 3200MHz soldered. If I add another 8GB Ram 3200MHz, will it enable dual channel? I heard from one source that it doesn't work dual channel, only single.
I think it will
can i put 2 sticks of 16gb in it? my model is asus M515da it says it has 2 slots. but they look same.
Says 2 slots in where? Task manager? This laptop only has 1 x DDR4 slot where you can place ram stick. Task manager will show 2 slots because you have 4GB soldered to the MB. So 1 x 16GB as for upgrade! Hope it helps.
@@ToxicNerd well i have total 8 gigs of ram. taskmanager shows 2 slots. and both of them are equipped
@@ToxicNerd and 1 more thing i have 1tb hdd. i want to add another 1tb ssd. if i add ssd will i be able to boot my laptop on ssd instead of hdd
@@salifshaikh2439 You can choose your 1st boot device from laptops bios.
@@salifshaikh2439 You must have additional 4GB installed, that's why taskmanager shows 2 slots and both equipped.

Nope, when upgrading ram! Just add ram stick and you are good to go👍

Can i upgrade my ram from 4gb in the mother board to 16gb ram 3200 mhz my cpu is ryzen 5 3500U..?

@@ToxicNerd can you do video of where the cmos CLRTC is on the motherboard for F512d asus vivobook.
Hey man have you installed 16gb ram? Is it working fine? Plz let me know, i will do the same then.
I have this laptop with the 8GB onboard ram. What is the maximum capacity of ram that can be installed, 16GB or 32GB ram?
have you tried this , i am confused as the asus tech team told me that 12 is the max you can have which means i can get the 4 replaced by an 8 and not with 16 stick !! let me know if you have got it working
why did you have to disconnect the battery?
Because power is still delivered to the motherboard when battery is connected and disconnecting anything while battery connected can create short. Saying that.. I upgraded hundreds of laptops and only once killed motherboard.
So you don't have to but better be careful.. could be expensive mistake 🥲

8Gb obviously, the more the ram, the better!
@@JonToyCars Depends
If he matches the 4gb ram onboard with a 4 gb stick he get 8gb dual channel ram.
If he ads 8gb ram stick he gets 12gb single channel ram.
Dual channel ram is much better than single channel ram.
Way more bandwidth.
Dont tell me they have Soldered Ram on the Motherboard 🤐 thats a no Go
so where is the graphics cards in these laptops?
Anyone know if this supports a single 32GB SODIMM?
Did you ever find an answer? I am going to test 32GB today in mine.
