I have a 7-year old Dell Inspiron 1505 notebook with Windows 7. Is there any issue installing this kit into this older unit?

I installed the SSD in a Dell desktop. You may also want to check your computer for a couple of things that may lower the performance of the SSD. The SSD can accommodate SATA3 or SATA2, but my mother board only had had SATA2, which is slower (3 GB/sec). Also, after installation, the BIOS setup should be used to set the SATA controller to AHCI mode. Mine only has ATA or RAID options. I left it in RAID. Also, TRIM was not supported on my computer (look it up). You can install a SATA3 card on your PCI express slots, but unless these slots are higher than PCIe 2.0, you will still not get full speed on the SSD. For example my PCIe 2.0 would give 4GB/sec (still an improvement over my 3GB SATA2) instead of the maximum 6 GB/sec.

No problems with Windows 7 supporting the unit. If you have room for it in your box, it should work.

I have this running on two Dell Inspirons, one running 8.1 and one running 8.0 and the plug and play worked fine on both.

Based on the results of a search for Dell Inspiron 1150 laptop memory upgrade via Crucial's memory upgrade advisor, these should work fine.Crucial indicates a maximum of 2GB PC2700 DDR CL = 2.5 for the unit.

Hello Mr. Tissier, you said that you didn't have any problems with Windows 7 as long as I get an A-B Y cable with 2 USB plugs. I order one from Cables to Go and plan to use it with my Dell Inspiron Netbook. Should I be okay with that? I would appreciate your response. Thank you.

I have an Inspiron 518 and I didn't have a problem. If you don't have the right connectors then it's not compatible.

I had no problems installing mine. Be sure to determine if your model uses DDR2 or DDR3 memory. If you log onto Crucial.com with the netbook they will check it for compatible memory and tell you exactly what is needed. Kingston may do the same but I only use Crucial memory sticks.

I don't believe so. This works great for me! I'm using it in a Dell Inspiron 14 and it was an easy install with absolutely no problems. Please verify the connectors are connected properly and everything will be fine.

Will work in any newer computer- the software included in the kit is designed to make installation in any Windows machine a snap! Be sure you're comfortable taking yours apart, and have proper tools- if not would be best to take it to a shop, or have a tech-saavy friend help you out. It's not a difficult job at all, but you'll need to find instructions to access the drive bay in your computer. If your machine could use more ram, this is a good time to upgrade that while you've got it taken apart.

Juan,I purchased it for my older Toshiba Satellite notebook and the performance has been excellent. I also installed Windows 7 and it worked great as well.Finally, the installation was easy.Brian

If your purchasing this particular item it only comes with Windows 8, however you can install Windows 7 if you like, but my advice would be to look at this item instead. It has the same processor with a higher capacity hard drive and an additional 2 gigs of ram as well as having windows 7 preinstalled. http://www.amazon.com/Dell-Inspiron-i15R-2105sLV-15-Inch-Laptop/dp/B0081YPVHE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8

Wait a minute. Just checked. I have an Inspiron 1505. It worked great for mine. Can't be sure about yours.

ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_inspiron_desktop/inspiron-660s_Owner's%20Manual_en-us.pdf From all I see in your manual for replacing video card it just calls out for a PCI-Express x16 card or PCI-Express xl card.. this is a low profile card so I don't see it being a problem. You can ask Dell directly in a chat.. But I don't think you will have a problem with it fitting in your case. Amazing video. I would buy another one.

Yes. I had zero problems to install and run it on my standard Dell machine with Win7

It works with our Dell inspiron just fine. Plugs into the usb port. The drive in the computer failed. This was a quick, easy fix.
