Introduction
If your Dell XPS 13 7390 is starting to slow down, running out of storage, or failing to boot properly, the SSD may be the cause. Solid-state drives can wear out over time, leading to crashes, missing files, or long loading times. Upgrading or replacing the SSD can restore performance and give your laptop a noticeable speed boost.
Before you begin this repair, power off the laptop completely and disconnect any external devices.
