Installing A M.2 2280 Mvme Ssd Drive Into My Dell 24 5475

I am installing a M.2 2280 MVMe SSD drive into my Dell 24 5475 All-In-One. I have the manual, but it only covers computers that already have a MVMe SSD drive installed. Complete installation requires securing the SSD drive to the motherboard with a M.2x3.5 screw. This screw is missing. Instead of a bare motherboard with screw, there is a black plastic piece cover the area where the SSD drive should go.

I Know the Answer!

If the M.2x3.5 screw is missing from your Dell Inspiron 24 5475, you can contact Dell support to obtain a replacement screw. Alternatively, you can purchase a M.2x3.5 screw from a computer hardware store.

To install the M.2 2280 MVMe SSD drive into your Dell 24 5475, you will need to follow these steps:

Power off your computer and unplug all cables.

Remove the back cover of your Dell 24 5475 by unscrewing the screws that secure it.

Locate the M.2 slot on your motherboard. It should be near the bottom of the motherboard, next to the SATA port.

Remove the black plastic cover that is covering the M.2 slot.

Insert the M.2 2280 MVMe SSD drive into the M.2 slot at a 30-degree angle and gently push it down.

Secure the SSD drive to the motherboard with the M.2x3.5 screw.

Replace the back cover of your Dell 24 5475 and screw it in place.

Once you have completed these steps, you can power on your computer and check to make sure the M.2 2280 MVMe SSD drive is recognized by your operating system.
