Is it that simple? Wala ang ibang considerations. Buys SSD, remove HDD, install SSD?

Yup. Just clone your hard drive so you don't need to reformat windows.

If the hard drive is dying na, the clone will fail and you'll need to do a fresh install of Windows.

Otherwise, +1 for what jut said.

Saan kaya makakabili ng high-quality repalcement parts for laptop. Nagloloko na keyboard at battery ng Lenovo Ideapad ng anak ko eh. Online sana. Sa province kasi ako.

Kayo ba magrerepair sir? Gilmore kasi takbuhan ko for computer parts/repair pero since province ka, pwede ka siguro sir magsearch ng parts sa shopee/lazada. There are some shops that already have stores online. Yung cartridge ng lumang printer ko, I got replacements from a shop in Zambales. They have a shop in shopee and lazada.

Have you looked.... online? Just search for the correct part no. https://shopee.ph/Replacement-Lenovo...121.6808556333

If it's an older laptop, it may not be worth getting genuine replacement parts for it.

Thanks. It's a 3 yr old laptop.

I'm guessing the wonky keyboard can be replaced, and mura lang yan. You can normally DIY that. Youtube videos on similar models.

I will try to do that. Pacheck ko na din muna siguro sa computer shop at baka sa connection ang problem and not the keyboard itself. Hassle sa anak ko yung may usb powered keyboard kasi. Hehe.

Tapos Toshiba niya mukhang HD failure na kasi black screen na eh. Mas gusto niya yung lenovo because of the better hardware.
