How to Upgrade Fujitsu SSD? Here Are the Detailed Steps!

Fujitsu is a world-renowned technology company headquartered in Japan, founded in 1935. Its business covers multiple fields, including information technology services, computer hardware, etc.

Fujitsu has laptops and desktops. Its laptops are usually durable and stable in performance. The Lifebook series is one of its popular notebook products.

After using your Fujitsu laptop for a while, the hard drive may run out of space, stop working, or run slowly. Then, it is necessary to do the Fujitsu SSD replacement. Now, let’s keep reading to know the detailed steps.

Why Do You Need to Do the Fujitsu SSD Upgrade?

As we all know, SSD has better durability, faster read and write speed, and better security than HDD. When you use SSD as a system disk, it can improve PC performance. Now, more and more people want to do the HDD to SSD upgrade on Fujitsu laptop.

There are several reasons to do the Fujitsu laptop SSD upgrade:

1. Faster boot speed: After upgrading to SSD, the boot time of the computer will be greatly shortened.
2. Increase storage capacity: As the computer is used for a long time, the original hard disk space may become smaller and smaller. SSD upgrades can provide you with more storage space.
3. Reduce the risk of mechanical failure: Traditional mechanical hard disks have many moving parts and are prone to failure, while SSDs have no moving parts and are more durable.
4. Improve battery life: SSDs have relatively low power consumption. Using SSD instead of HDD can extend the battery life of laptops.
5. Protect data security: Many SSDs provide hardware encryption support to help improve data security.
6. Limited budget: You don’t have enough money to buy a brand-new computer.

Fujitsu SSD Upgrade

How to do the Fujitsu SSD replacement? Here is a step-by-step guide.

There are two ways to upgrade the Fujitsu laptop SSD. One is to directly replace the old SSD with a new one. This method requires you to reinstall the operating system, applications, etc. The second is to use the data cloning method to migrate the data of the old SSD to the new SSD, and then replace the old SSD with the new one.

This article will introduce you to the second method in detail, which uses a third-party tool – MiniTool Partition Wizard.

Part 1: Initialize a New SSD

For a new SSD, you need to initialize it to MBR or GPT before you can use it. Here are the steps:

Step 1: Connect the new SSD to your Fujitsu laptop.

Step 2: Press the Win + R keys together to open the Run box. Then, input diskmgmt.msc and click OK.

Step 3: Right-click the new SSD disk and select Initialize Disk.

Step 4: In the pop-up window, set the partition style the same as the source SSD disk (MBR or GPT) and click on OK to confirm.

Part 2: Clone Old SSD to New SSD

I suggest using MiniTool Partition Wizard to clone your entire SSD to the new one. It’s a reliable and professional disk cloning software.

It provides the Migrate OS to SSD/HD feature and the Clone Disk feature to help you migrate all the data.

In addition, this multifunctional tool can also help you rebuild MBR, change cluster size, convert MBR to GPT, create/resize/delete/extend partitions, format FAT32, wipe disk, recover data from external hard drive, and more.

Step 3: Select the new SSD as the destination disk, then click Next. A warning message will pop up; review it and click Yes to continue.

Step 4: Modify the disk layout in the Review the Changes window and then click Next.

• Fit partitions to entire disk: The partitions on the source disk will be extended by an equal proportion to fill the entire new SSD.
• Copy partitions without resizing: All the partitions on the source disk are copied into the new SSD without changes in size or location.
• Align partitions to 1 MB: The Align partitions to 1 MB option will apply 4K alignment on the SSD.
• Use GUID partition table for the target disk: The Use GUID partition table for the target disk option will apply GPT on the SSD, but it only appears when the source disk is an MBR disk.
• Change Selected Partition: You can resize or move the partition according to your needs.

Step 5: A warning message “How to boot from the Destination disk?” will pop up, and click Finish to continue.

Step 6: Next, click the Apply button to carry out the pending operation.

Use Copy Disk Feature

Step 4: Take a moment to review the note for instructions on booting from the target disk, then click Finish to go back to the main interface.

Step 5: Click the Apply button to start the pending operation and wait for the cloning process to complete.

Part 3: Replace Your Old SSD

Once the disk data migration is complete, you can now replace the old SSD with the new one. Here are the steps:

Step 1: Turn off the Fujitsu computer and unplug all power, USB external devices. Turn the computer bottom up.

Step 2: Use a screwdriver to remove the screws, and then use a crowbar to remove the bottom cover. If possible, wear an anti-static wrist strap while doing this to ensure the safety of the device.

Step 3: Use a screwdriver to remove the screws that secure the SSD, and then use tweezers to carefully pull the SSD out of the connector.

Step 4: Place the new SSD into the slot, then put the SSD cover back in place and install all screws and parts as they were.
