  • Can I add an SSD to envy 15?

    Can I add an SSD to envy 15 or do I have to replace the original disk?

    Yes assuming that the SSD is large enough to hold all the data that was on the old disk, you can 'clone with resizing' from the old drive to the new. I use Acronis to make, and they offer a fully functional 30 day trial that would work to clone a drive. You will need an adapter usb to SATA to hang the new disk on the computer and access to the cloning procedure. On an SSD, but you are probably going to be cramped for space and you can just do the recovery with just the c: disc / > image drive and install the OS on the SSD using these discs and forget not to have a recovery on the SSD partition. If you do this, you should not buy an adapter usb to sata. You could also just clone the C:\ > will lead the SSD using acronis and keep the old drive to use for recovery if you need to do it later.

  • Help me. Why recovery.txt and Python27 in C after I sent my ACER VN7 - 591 G-77FH to add ssd?

    I brought my pc (ACER VN7 - 591 G-77FH) to ACER in order to make it add ssd, check the pc for heating with w10 and usb ports. They said initially they would format the HDD (1 TB) and I would lose my data. I said 'ok '.

    Today I went to ACER to get my pc and the guy at the front desk told me that they cleaned the fans and that the problem with my usb ports is software, so that they had to reinstall the operating system.  More, he told me they did a system restore. I asked him what he meant with "recovery", but he did not explain very well (I thought that it was not a pc technician) and told me that they formatted the hard drive and installed the operating system on the ssd.

    When I came back home, I turned on my computer and I had to set it up. A configuration screen acer appeared and then w8.1 supposed to be configured with my mail, number mobile password etc....

    When I walked into my account, I noticed that in C there is two things:

    (1) there is a txt file named recovery which is empty

    2) there is a folder named Python27 (na not they remove it?) Why?). It looks weird because there are some files (11/03/2016) in date from (tomorrow), while NEWS, LICENSE, python and pythonw are as of 12/05/2015, finally README is dated from 21/11/2015

    So... What did do?

    I tried to install w10 from usb to reset everything, but when I start it up, there is only the Boot Manager Windows (Crucial 500blah blah blah blah) in the start menu...

    What can I do?

    Help me

    Since you're still running windows 8.1, I suggest you create a recovery media using Acer recovery tool.
    Once this is done, you can delete all the partitions on the unit 0 and do a 10 windows clean install.

  • ENVY 15 j040el (Italy): replacement/upgrade for RALINK RT 3290 wifi adapter

    My RT 3290 RALINK wifi adapter supplied with HP ENVY 15 Notebook j040el (bought in Italy in 2013) has stopped working.  I got to know of it when all of a sudden I couldn't access the internet more but my Tablet worked fine, so no fault of my ISP.   Fortunately I had at hand a USB wifi adapter to my office, and in him reconnect the wifi was back.  So my RALINK RT 3290 went for sure. Unfortunately, my warranty expired last year, and I can't ask for a free replacement of HP.   There is no RALINK RT 3290 on Amazon Italy.   I've seen a few complaints about the RALINK RT 3290 performance on the forum.

    1 can one suggest a good compatible replacement or upgrade?

    2 HP suggest a compatible replacement? How? Where?

    Laptop model: HP ENVY 15 j040el

    Country: Italy

    OS: Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

    Processor: Intel core i7-4700MQ, 2.40 gHz

    RAM: 12 GB

    HARD drive: 1 TB

    Warranty: due September 2014.

    The module that I suggested is compatible. It is the same physical size and has 2 antenna connectors it will be a matter of popping the old and jump into the new and replace the son, and then to load the driver. I don't know how you burn a wifi card but I mean it is also dual-band 2.4 and 5 ghz 7260 AC if that is a problem for you maybe, my advice would be different.

    2 x 2 vs 1 x 1 designates the number of streams from radio to the card. 2 x 2 is better.

  • Add SSD to question dv7t-7300 HP Envy.

    I ordered a custom of dv7t-7300 HP Envy. I want to add an SSD, something along the lines of an SSD of 7.5 mm. I just need to know a few things.

    (1) given that the computer just that with a HARD drive (depending on configuration), is the second drive Bay hard to a 'HARD drive enclosure? And if so, should be 7.5 mm 2.5-inch SSD, or it must be a 9.5 mm SSD?

    (2) if the caddy is not included, where can I get one? And should it be a basket, or is it implemented different now?

    Any other information you can provide would be great! Thank you.

    Nothing like that self-help. Return it. On the back of it is a large "T" plate shaped. Remove the screws, pull it out and look inside. You have two hard drive bays. Are all dv7s to dual hard drives, but the method to connect readers varies a little.

    Manual

    See instructions starting on Page 49 of the above link Sevice manual.

    An SSD will work in each Bay. I would use the SSD as drive for the operating system to take advantage of the speed of the thing, which is really amazing to see the first time you see it. There is also a place for a WSSD, but there is no need of a GSU if you use an SSD as your primary drive. Still if you want uberstorage you could spend a ton and purchase a 256 GB WSSD and have actually three usable discs.

    Thank you

    Update: I thought that it was portable average size but it of a laptop thin and seems your limit at just the 1 TB HARD drive or you can swap out to a 1 TB SSD but I also what HP says about the laptop.

    "1 TB 5400 RPM SATA; Flash cache: 8 GB; The flash cache module is designed to accelerate the experience of response of the system and cannot be used as extra storage. It is not removable by and not accessible to the user. »

    So your expansion options may be limited. Much will depend on what size is the 1 TB of HARD drive that is currently in it right now you need to find an SSD that fits this same dimension to replace the original HARD drive that is there. But what they have now is 1 TB SSD and SSD 2 TB are quite expensive and I do not know how it dimension compared to the CT 1 SSD drives.

  • Envy 17-n100nl: Envy 17-n100nl disassemble to add ssd

    Hello world

    I just bought an HP ENVY 17-n100nl laptop, and I wanted to update to add a SSD memory. I know that it is possible to add it instead of the appropriate optical unit with the caddy, but I saw that another possibility would be to add to the second internal drive Bay. I'm having some trouble of disassembly of the pc: as you can see in the photo, the lower part of the PC is a continuous part (unlike many other portable HP where RAM and HARD drive are easy access) and even without caps base left and right (unlike the other Envy 17 I found instructions how to disasseble http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/globalcitizenship/environment/productdata/Countries/_MultiCountry/disassemb... So my question is: How can I do? Are there instructions from HP (I looked in this page http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/globalcitizenship/environment/productdata/disassemblynotebook-o.html , but none of the solutions listed for laptops ENVY 17 apply to mine).

    Older versions of Windows offer a product key to activate Windows (as it is written on a sticker COST or built-in BIOS/UEFI).

    Windows 10 offers another option, called right digital.

    Probably, you had older versions of Windows and free upgrade to win 10. In order to keep your old version keys active Windows, Microsoft enabled Windows 10 using the new method. Win 10 has been activated using Windows 7 or 8 button, then this key would have been valid for the 2 versions of Windows (which is impossible).

    More information about this new option:

    > http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/activation-in-windows-10

    > http://www.winbeta.org/news/digital-entitlement-a-new-method-of-activation-in-windows-10

    Maybe you can get temporary, the computer HARD disk and reinstall Windows on the SSD drive. Then you can insert the HDD tray in and when everything is ready, you can format the HARD drive and use it as an extra.

    If your computer came with Windows 8.1 or 7 preinstalled and later upgraded to Windows 10, you can use the recovery media to install the previous edition of Windows, and then upgrade to Windows 10

    Alternatively, you can try to clone your disk SSD using a software like Clonezilla:

  • HP ENVY 15-k009ne: replacement of SSD for ENVY 15-k009ne

    Hey there everyone.

    I would like to know if it is possible to replace the hard drive installed SSD (8 GB) on my Hp envy 15-k009ne. The problem is that he is very much in quality and appear to be limited to the default files of hp. I have a few questions:

    1. is it possible to replace? If not, is it possible to replace the other hard drive (1 TB, 5400 RPM)?

    2. What size (actual size and capacity, I mean) or number/model should I buy?

    Thank you.

    PS sorry if this is a recurring question. I must be sure before that I could buy another SSD drive which is quite expensive!

    The specifications of your laptop do not indicate that you have an SSD. You may have a hybrid drive that has a cache of flash 8 GB built-in player for faster access, but this isn't a separate volume that holds its own files, just a different part of the reader. HP sold never, to my knowledge, laptops with an 8 GB SSD. You probably also a HP recovery partition on your hard drive. According to the specifications, the hard drive only your machine is a 1 to 5400 RPM mechanical hard drive standard.

    See p. 66 of the manual here:

    Manual

    Unfortunately, access to the hard drive Bay is very difficult and forbidden to an end user. In other words, it will jeopardize the warranty. If you are past the warranty and want to remedy let us know. You can replace the mechanical drive with a 2.5 inch SATA SSD and your laptop will be much faster if you do. There is also a slot of the WSSD m2 on the laptop, to complicate things more, but use it to add a SSD and boot of it is even more difficult. Have any kind of SSD in laptop computer that is not the boot drive make not much sense. However, if you want to explore the option of WSSD m2 we are here to help.

  • 750 - 177C envy: addition of Samsung SSD for envy 750-177C

    I just bought a HP Envy 750-177c. I have it operational and it works very well. I had installed a Samsung 850 EVO SSD in my old computer and now want to add to it. I have an external cloning device that I can plug it into the computer and launch the software from Samsung to clone the HD HP. Once this is done, I will be able to add the SSD to the drive Bay and make the boot drive. I did all these steps with my old computer, so I think that it will be substantially the same with the RESUME. I wonder if there is any change in the BIOS, that I should do to get the best performance from the drive. I also heard AHCI. Is selectable via the BIOS with Windows 10, or do I have to make some changes by Reg Edit? I need to download a driver AHCI? Is this useful?

    Thanks for the tips.

    Robb

    Hi @RobbL!

    When it comes to SSD, I suggest you to activate the AHCI because it often improves performance when it comes to SSDS (and not only - if you are running an SSD and a HARD disk HARD drive will get some push), and it offers a few additional features like connection hot records.

    You can activate it by following these steps:

    * Let the connected existing boot drive.
    * Go to MSCONFIG and set the PC to boot in safe mode.
    * Power cycle your PC all the way to the top in safe mode then power down in safe mode.
    * Turn on and boot into the BIOS and enable the AHCI and disable secure boot. Save the changes.
    * Restart your PC. If OK at this stage then return to MSCONFIG and uncheck start safe mode and save the changes.
    * Turn on your PC and if OK then power off.
    * Connect the new SSD and power upward.
    * Use the cloning software to clone the old disk on the new SSD.
    * Switch off the PC. Disconnect the old drive and plug the new SSD in this SATA port.
    * Lights up and you should be good to go.

    Regarding the drivers, you can take a look at this article from HP on the SSD:

    Hope this helps, and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

  • Adding second SSD to envy 14

    Hello, I recently bought a HP Envy spectrum 3010NR (?) (128 GB SSD, i7) and I was wondering what the process would be to add a second SSD on my own?

    I found a manual online (thanks to this site =)) that details how to get to the SSDS (for some reason, I can't post the link of the PDF, but there simply shows how to access the SSD drives and gives a part number 675508-001 for the 128 GB SSD). 33 page I think. Sorry, I don't know why it wouldn't bind.

    I then used the references listed in this guide to find spares (a second SSD for the empty disc) on HPs website and found this, however being a big enough SSD at a price as cheap (most other SSD, I found online were double this price), I was suspicious that I was looking at the wrong part Maybe? Can anyone confirm this to be the correct SSD, I need, and they ordered this on the site before for envys them?

    In addition, I have to update the BIOS settings, or change other settings of the computer, before I could access the storage space, someone had this type of operation performed with their envys?

    Thank you very much for your time and assistance!

    Hi guys and girls (if applicable)

    I have good news for all fans of HP Envy 14 spectrum if you had any doubts, you can install more than 256 GB of SSD.

    The answer is YES, but more probably final success will depend on the brand of the drive you choose. If I were you, I'd go for Samsung I did. Not only are they (in my opinion) the best SSDS now, but also, these are they that HP uses in your computer to build factory, but to the point...

    I have two models model HP Envy 14 spectrum 3100 and 3200 and in the two tof them I managed to install two new SSD hard drive of 250 GB Samsung EVO mSata and 1 TB Samsung EVO mSata!

    Both have same configuration with system of 250 GB and 1 TB as s storage drive and the two running with Windows 7, although they already are with this piece of crap Win8. So I put matching drivers and everything works flawlesly for several months now. No problem with suddenly disappear SSD or any type of strange events or suspected.

    It may be that helpful to someone who needs more space and wants to spend this beautiful machine.

    Hello

    Yes, you can clone your current HARD drive to your new SSD, install new SSD on your computer and run it from there. Please note:

    (un) Normally smaller SSD (2.5 "vs 3.5") so you need a kit of mounting for her, including the following:
