Changing out the RAM was such a breeze.

First step would be unscrewing the single screw from the bottom of the G7 laptop.

Next get something flat where you could pop up the clips from around the laptop.

Once you have the bottom enclosure of the laptop removed you will see the RAM like shown in the image below.  You need to push on the side of the clip holding the ram into place and the RAM will pop out.  Take note on how it’s inserted because you need to insert the new RAM the way.

Once the RAM has been installed, place the bottom casing back on the laptop be sure to snap in all the clips and tighten the center screw.

Next power on the laptop, you will see a message telling you the amount of system ram has been installed.

Dell G7 Adding Another Hard Drive https://l5j.net/windows/dell-g7-adding-another-hard-drive/ https://l5j.net/windows/dell-g7-adding-another-hard-drive/#respond Tue, 21 May 2019 14:24:13 +0000 http://l5j.net/?p=7674 The first thing you want to do before adding another hard drive or solid state drive to your Dell G7.  Is to make sure you have the latest BIOs and updates installed.

You can download the latest updates for your Dell G7 by clicking here.

Next begin to take the bottom casing off of your Dell G7, start with the single screw (remember the screw doesn’t come all the way out).

Whenever I’m upgrading my laptops or dresktops I’m always making sure I’m putting in the latest tech.  So for this build I put a Crucial MX500 2TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5 Inch Internal SSD – CT2000MX500SSD1(Z)

Next get something flat that you can pop up the clips around the housing of the laptop.

Now that the case is open, you want to take out the actual HDD enclosure.

Next insert your hard drive into the enclosure.

Now place the back cover back on be sure to snap all the clips into place and tighten up the screw.  Once that’s done boot up your computer.  What’s weird for me is that I needed to go into the BIOs Settings and change the boot sequence.

I had to switch the boot sequence from Windows Boot Manager to UEFI:  SK hynix SC311 SATA 256GB Partition 1 to the top and Boot Manager to the bottom.

That’s it you should have successfully installed a new hard drive into your Dell G7 Laptop.
