Title
Dell G15-5511 Gaming SSD Replacement
Introduction
This guide will walk you through the process of replacing the SSD in your Dell G15-5511 Gaming laptop. The most common use of this procedure is to upgrade the storage capacity and/or speed of your laptop with an SSD upgrade. This Dell G15 is compatible with both 80 mm-long full size (M.2 2280) and 30 mm-long (M.2 2230) SSDs.
Before you perform this repair, back up your existing SSD if possible. If you’re replacing the SSD where your operating system is installed, familiarize yourself with a disk cloning utility so you’ll be ready to migrate your data to the new SSD.
