Is my Dell Upgradeable to SSD?

[s.abdullahqutb]

Hello everyone,
I have a DELL Inspiron 5459, and I am experiencing lots of problems regarding the speed and performance. I searched a lot on how to find if my laptop is compatible with SSDs, but couldn't get an exact answer. Can anyone help me?

Any laptop with a 2.5" SATA-based HDD can be "upgraded" with a 2.5" SATA-based SSD

I don't see the exact spec of your laptop in the link, just the product line - but from what I can find, you're looking at a 6th Gen Core laptop..... so absolutely, a SATA3 SSD could be swapped in for the HDD currently in there.

I'd suggest looking to a minimum of 240GB, potentially greater, depending on your use-case.

You are good.
I have replaced the hard drive with a ssd on every laptop I own.
The easy way is to buy a Samsung 850 evo 2.5" drive of suitable capacity.
Samsung has a free Windows C drive mover for their ssd devices.
Here is the manual which tells how to do it:

You attach the new ssd via a usb port. You may need a usb to sata adapter cable, about $15.
When the copy is done, replace the hard drive in your laptop with the ssd.
Here is a youtube video of the process for your laptop:

You need only to go so far as to uncover the sata hard drive and replace it.

Yes, it is upgradeable to any 7mm height 2.5 inch SSD.
