| === This is a guide to replace the hard drive in a Lenovo Legion Y530-15ICH laptop. === | | | | ***''IMPORTANT:''*** | | | * Your OS will NOT be installed on the new hard drive. For guidance on reinstalling Windows, I recommend [link|https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/ish_3102863-2949936-16|this guide from HP.|new_window=true] This requires a flash drive (minimum 8Gb storage) or DL-DVD. | | * To transfer your files, I recommend the built-in Backup and Restore tool. This requires an external drive of at least the capacity of your current drive. | | ** I personally transferred my data to a lower-capacity (500Gb) drive because I had only 80Gb taking up space on a 1Tb drive. This causes no problems, but is not recommended because of the possibility of a user's replacement drive not having enough space for their data. |
