First up, was the PCMark 8.0 Home Conventional 3.0 test. The only negative is build 10586 did not include the Intel Ethernet drivers so I had to download those from Lenovo’s web site here.Īfter Windows 10 was updated and multiple drivers updated via Windows Update I ran a number of benchmarks. Installation was straightforward as the installer thankfully included drivers for the storage controller so I could install Windows 10 directly onto the 256 GB Samsung 950 Pro. To install Windows 10, I used en_windows_10_multiple_editions_version_1511_圆4_dvd_7223712.iso (Build 10586) downloaded from MSDN that I copied to a USB flash drive using these instructions. Once the new SSD is mounted in the caddy, just slide back onto the mounting posts from the front towards the back and lock it in place with the thumb screw. It looks like this is where the factory wireless connectivity option is installed so there is some hope if you want to add Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity down the road.įinally, it is time to replace the stock 500 GB traditional hard drive in the caddy with the 1 TB Samsung 850 EVO SSD. When installing the RAM, I noticed there is a bonus M.2 card slot the system board that I didn't notice on the Lenovo spec sheet. Thankfully there were no intel chipset compatibility issues with this DDR4 memory. Installing the 32 GB of G.Skill DDR4 ram is also very straight forward. Now that we have access to the RAM and M.2 card slots, it is very easy to install the new 256 GB Samsung 950 Pro into the M.2 slot. Remove the thumb screw (may need the help of a Philips screwdriver) and slide the caddy towards the front of the PC. Once inside, the RAM and M.2 PCI-Express slots are hidden under the HDD caddy. Working with the M900 tiny form factor is very easy, simply remove the large screw on the back of the PC and slide the top towards the front. To make this the ultimate micro pc, we will be upgrading the ram to 32 GB, installing a 256 GB M.2 PCI Express 3.0 SSD, and a 1 TB SSD for even more storage. As described in part 1, I selected the Lenovo M900 Tiny with the SkyLake based i7-6700T as the foundation for this build. Now that all of the parts for the build have arrived, we can begin assembling our ultimate Windows 10 micro PC. ![]()
