Yes, i might as well since I had it open. So at least one good thing came from it all.

Thank you guys for helping me out. I did end up taking apart my laptop to see for myself and found that 1. The factory thermal paste have turned into something like clay and 2. That it was soldered on like you guys said.

I have an Alienware 15 R2 1546SLV ProcessorIntel Core i5 6300HQ (Quad-Core, 6MB Cache, up to 3.2GHz w/ Turbo Boost) Operating SystemWinHome HighEnd 10 64 ENG Memory8GB DDR4 2133MHz (4GBx2) Video GraphicsNVIDIA GeForce GTX 965M with 2GB GDDR5 Hard Drive1TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s Multimedia DriveNo Optical Drive Media Card Reader9-in-1 Media Card Reader and USB 3.0 BluetoothBluetooth tied to wireless card Display15.6" FHD (1920 x 1080) It has a decent CPU for a laptop but I’m looking to upgrade it possibly to an i7 soon. What would be the highest possible CPU that is compatible with this laptop?

Thank you guys! I tried a few of the suggestions and I got a bit lost since I'm an amature at installing Windows on anything else but a SSD or HDD. The video was the one that worked best for me so thank you for all your help

I did that and got this "windows cannot be installed to the disk. the selected disk is of the gpt partition style"

Hey Guys, I have a 256GB WD Black PCIe Gen3x4 NVMe SSD and I run on an Alienware 15 R2 ( I don't know the specs of this laptop in depth). I'm trying to boot Windows 10 on it so I can boot with the SDD and still use my 1TB HDD and I can't seem to get it to work and I've tried formatting it, but I can't seem to be able to format it using Disk Management or even format it using the windows 10 CD. Every time I format using Disk Management it will format to 100% then say it failed and its no better trying to format using the windows disk
