  1. Replacing SSD In Dell XPS Laptop And Windows 10 Pro Installation?


    Laptop is


    dell xps 15 9550
    i5-6300hq processor
    8gb ram
    250gb ssd
    32gb m.2 ssd
    3 cell 56wh battery


    I bought this laptop brand new few years ago on ebay not knowing that having a 2nd hard drive meant i get the 3 cell smaller battery. It also came with a regular 7200 rpm hard drive but i replaced it with an old samsung 250gb ssd of mine. I have used this laptop for over 2.5 years already.


    I have bought a battery replacement for it 1 time... got it off ebay and that battery has been working fine for a bit less than 1.5 years. The old original battery basically went bad as it went out after 10 minutes or so. As of now, battery is still okay though there is wear in it. For example, whenever i turn on my laptop and say my charger is not plugged in... it shows around 92% battery and shows like 14 minute to fully charge. This is assuming i turn on my laptop without having it plugged in at the start. I always have my laptop charged to an outlet as i use my laptop inside my apartment pretty much close to 100%. So i know my battery has some wear because of this. And i get around 1h15m to 1h30m on the battery.



    My laptop has had a few issues a while back like it being on the dell logo a few times and not loading etc. But this was a while back. But what laptop never has issues correct? Has anyone here never had a single issue with their xps 15 9550 such as it never froze on the dell logo screen or something like this? I assume not possible right?

  3. Clean install of XP on Dell laptop?

    My friend has an inspiron laptop from dell. He got it with Vista preinstalled on it, but wants to switch back to XP. He got an XP Pro CD, but when he inserted it, the "Install XP Now" option was greyed out. I thought it might be dell trying to make life difficult when reinstalling windows. *Confused Replacing SSD In Dell XPS Laptop And Windows 10 Pro Installation? :confused: Any advice??

    If I formatted the hard drive for him, NTFS, would I be able to clean install XP or would the prob still be there?

    Thanks in advance

    Replacing SSD In Dell XPS Laptop And Windows 10 Pro Installation?

    Dell M6400 Laptop - BSOD Installing XP Pro X32

    Laptop: Dell Precision M6400 T9900 CPU, 4GB Ram

    Original Hard drive has XP Pro and is working fine. Bought a second hard drive to play with and want to install XP Pro on it. I have a legit OEM XP Pro COA.

    Trying to install XP, gets to a certain point and BSOD *Frown Replacing SSD In Dell XPS Laptop And Windows 10 Pro Installation? :(

    Tried both a Dell OEM XP Pro (SP1) disk and Retail XP Pro (w/ SP3) disk... boots fine of the CD, goes through the blue installation screens (installing this, that and the other drivers)... stops and suddenly blue screens.

    I thought perhaps it could be the new HDD, so I tried it with the original HDD - same result!

    The laptop has a ICH8M/ICH9M controller, I'm thinking I need to install drivers for those, like it's trying to read the hardware and cant? The only other thing I can think of are network drivers.

    Help!
