    Replacing the SSD


    Good afternoon everyone,
    I have a Lenovo Ideapad (one of the smaller ones) that needs to be upgraded if I can. It has a small SSD that although runs well, its just too small. Is it possible to install an SSD that has a bit more storage? Say 250GB?

    :)

    Unable to update after replacing SSD

    Did you backup your data?

    If you have access to another computer download the Media Creation Tool and install the latest public release 16299.19

    Media Creation Tool US; Read the instructions.

    Instructions link.

    I just put in a new SSD hard drive and it still won't update.

    do I need this program? to run all the others

    or is there another way to update.

    As long as the storage is not soldered to the motherboard, it should be able to be updated with ease. 250GB is a fair amount of storage for an SSD and you should be able to find one that fits your laptop.

    Everyone, I am so sorry!! Its actually a Lenovo Think pad N22 11.6 inch. It has a 32gb SSD. Can I replace the SSD with one with more storage? Again, I am sorry for the confusion...

    One of the downsides of laptops like these. They seem promising for price, but 32GB of Windows isn't a whole lot of space.
