Upgrading my laptop

[ADogg]

I’ve bought a Dell 5570on Black Friday last year. Since I bought it I’ve changed what I need a laptop for and want to upgrade it and not replace it.

I’m wanting to upgrade the ram (currently 8GB) and put an M.2 SSD to run alongside the HD. Where is best to buy bits from? Or am I flogging a dead horse?

Fwiw this time last year I just needed it for basic stuff - spreadsheets and the like, now I’m dabbling more with Serato.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you, I’ll check crucial out!

Not sure if I need ram, but guessed it I was going to install an M2 SSD I may as well do it whilst I’m there!

I have purchased the necessary bits and bobs off the back of this thread so once they’re here I’ll get cracking and keep the thread updated. I haven’t a clue what I’m doing but hey!

All the bits are here... Do I use Macrium to clone it?

All done! Boot up time was 55 seconds and is now 16. Happy days.
