![]() ![]() I went to the local micro center, bought a 240gb SSD and a 4gb ram, had issues trying to clone the old hard drive because there wasn’t enough storage to download the cloning software, so I booted up windows with a usb and started clean. This motherboard has a SATA connection to mount a SSD and also a DDR3L slot for memory. It was out of stock, so after searching the internet I found one for $86 including shipping. I did the same as Hermelindo, I went to, looked for the correct motherboard upgrade by entering in the Dell service tag number it showed P75YT for my wife’s 3162. Today I have a faster laptop with 500gb of SSD capacity, total cost? $85.00 CDN and nothing over heats. enclosure, then I had to remove the cover (the thinnest ssd doesn't let you close the keyboard part) and I am using the mSATA to SATA card bare. I purchased a motherboard and reused the memory, and an old mSATA to SATA converter card. (Dell wanted $400.00 plus the value of my purchase error to exchange it!). ![]() I made the same mistake than everybody else by purchasing a 32gb emmc, and although I managed to allocate portions of Windows 10 (after a clean installation) on a micro SD card I was not happy with the 128gb capacity of the card reader and I did not want to expend more than $100.00 to make this toy useful. I reused a 4gb chip, but recently I read on another article that also works with a 8gb module! Mmmm.something to investigate in the future!. It also has a connector for DDR3L SODIMM memory (the L after 3 stands for Low voltage). ![]() Yes it was a bad purchase, but there is a solution not mentioned at all: replace the motherboard for a Dell Inspiwhich has a Pentium N3710 cpu and one SATA connector. ![]()
