I'd like to upgrade my ideapad 320 by adding ssd. Is there any official way to do without voiding the warranty? Should i leave it to lenovo service center? Maybe additional charges apply?

Hello,I recently bought a Lenovo laptop ( Lenovo IdeaPad 52015IKB-80YL) as far as now, it has worked excellent -except that HDD sound kinda rattling. I am just wondering that ? already have 1 TB HDD but ? also want to add SSD instead of DVD slot. I don't need that DVD, and ? am pretty sure that with the required stuff ? can do it. But my problem is with the warranty. If ? do it myself -since the technical services don't do- does it broke my whole warranty right? I mean ? got 3 years warranty right but HDD is not performing well, so do ? have to wait 3 years to upgrade to SSD?Thank you.

Hi,I bought a Lenovo Ideapad 700 15ISK, with a M.2 SSD slot, but without the SSD. Will I lose the warranty if I open the cover to install it myself? Thank you.

Hello Community,perhaps someone can help me with my problem. I have the above mentioned Notebook. It has a 256 GB Nvme PCIe SSD at the M.2 port. Currently I'm considering to upgrade (resp. replace) this SSD with a 512 GB SSD (I'm thinking about the Samsung 970 EVO). But before I buy it I want to be completely sure that this is possible. I'm mainly not sure because I don't know if the M.2 port has a PCIe x4 or x2 connection and if the SSD would run on a PCIe x2 port. Further I'm not sure if it is generally possible to run a 512GB SSD on that notebook. For the first question I have been searching through the Internet the whole evening but did not find any reliable results. Perhaps someone can help me with that. Many Thanks and kind regards,Daniel

I was recently gifted an ideapad 320 14ast 80xu with 4gb of ram. I was wondering if it was possible for me to upgrade my ram to 8gb? The product description on the site isnt much help. Thanks!

I have an Ideapad z410  Model 20292 with a Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4200M CPU @ 2.50GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.5GHz The notebook spends an lot of time at 100% CPU usage, and is pretty sluggish with multitasking at design. is there an upgrade path for it? 

I loved the size and price point of the Lenovo Ideapad 100S. However, of course because it only came with 30GB of hard drive space, Windows 10 basically maxed it out immediately. So, tonight I just tried to do something about it. I purchased a Samsung M.2 SSD 256 GB. I have a screenshot and I really think I installed it right. I just can't figure out how to get the bios to recognize it. Disk management doesn't show it at all. I rebooted into bios and reset defaults and restarted to no avail. What did I do wrong here? Is it just that the Ideapad can't recognize this particular M.2 SSD? Please see the screenshot I have attached. Any suggestions on how to get the bios to recognize this? Thank you ever so much for any suggestions! -Tom Tobey - Fort Wayne, USA

I have the above mentioned laptop...  In searching through countless websites and forums and YouTube videos etc, i can not find a single thing to tell me that there even IS an m.2 slot on this particular laptop's motherboard, let alone what is supported..  there most definitely IS an m.2 slot.. my question is, what EXACTLY is supported? What sizes, what speeds, what types of m.2 SSD can i install in the m.2 slot???  No, i do not want to replace my 1TB HDD with a sata SSD. I want to keep the 1tb drive for media storage. No i do not want to replace my optical drive with a caddy and an SSD.. i want to keep my optical drive.. i specifically want an SSD installed in my m.2 slot on my motherboard.. Can ANYONE please inform me what is supported.. there is literally not one single thing ANYWHERE that I've seen to answer this question.. Thank you all in advance..

Hello. I have a Lenovo IdeaPad 100-15 IBD. The question is: is it possible to insert an additional, second memory bar into it for 4GB (that was 8) and whether it is possible to insert the SSD into 128GB in addition to the HDD?

HiIm looking to upgrade and i have read manuals (two of them provided slightly different information) and also some general questions that i would like an answer from someone who is familiar with this particular model. First, i want to upgrade RAM and all i know is that there is DDR4 4GB(different from what manual says). from CPU-Z testCPU-Z also shows that NB frequency of current RAM is around 2700MHz and DRAM frequency is 1064MHzFrom manual i find out:Type and speed: DDR3L-1333 MHz/1600MHz max supported capacity: 16GB Slots: SO-DIMM x2 What i do not know is what type of RAM shall i schoose/machine supports. I guess since CPU-Z pulls real info from PC then i shall schoose DDR4 for free slotBut there is 2133MHz and 2400MHz memorys available, which one is best for this laptop?  Second question is about HDD, current one is 1TB HDD and also i have available extra bay for 7mm HDD only where usually is cd-drive.I want to take out HDD and replace it with SSD and put HDD into extra bay, will this model be able to manage two drives simultaneously, SSD as main one with OS and HDD for extra files?As i understood i need to replace HDD with SSD and make a clean OS install(already prepared USB installation media) and after everything is done and booted into windows then i will connect HDD into extra bay but should i prepare HDD somehow or it is simple as plug in and go?Is there anything else i need to concider as im planning to do all this by myself...

I have an Ideapad 300S-14ISK too and my understanding is that it has only ONE memory slot. Mine came with 8GB. Spec sheet mentioned - "upto 8GB DDR3L". The chipset can handle 16GB and I was wondering if I can put another 8GB in this unit (if it has 2 slots) OR even swap out the 8GB and put ONE 16GB, if laptop can support it. Thanks,
