    Hi,
    I am looking to replace my Dell HDD in Inspiron 5570 with WD Blue SN550 NVMe (512GB). I know my laptop support M-key SSD. I am just concerned if there would be any compatibility issue with this particular SSD?
    Anyone who has replaced their HDD with SSD in Dell Inspiron and knows if this works or not?

    I would be removing the HDD and just putting the SSD Will this create any issue with the boot?

    Your drive now is the HDD? If you go clean install it will be fine.

    Yeah, should be good to go. Get the install from micrsoft direct because I think MS knows your computer is already activated. No bloatware then.
