Thank you so much! I'm a 50 yo female, and am proud to have installed the SSD myself, thanks to your video. :)

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.

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.

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!!!!!

Thank you Dave, simple IT for dummies style YouTube 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.

Hi Dave, many thanks for this video. I made a few searches on YouTube 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 YouTube.

Worked like a charm! I saved $700 on a new computer by just purchasing a $50 SSD with 500GB. Thank you so much!

No question. I just appreciate the help. Thanks, Dave.

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 Youtube.
