• Pavilion 15-ab057nr: How can I change for one SSD HARD drive and update my RAM?

  Hi, I would like to change the hard drive of my computer (Pavilion 15-ab057nr) for one ssd and also add another module of RAM. The problem is that I've never opened a laptop before, and I don't know where to start, or what should I do after I opened the computer. I don't know if anyone could help me by giving me a guide on how to perform these upgrades, every little detail would be useful. Thank you.

  Hi @IYMF,

  Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

  I stumbled upon your post on the HP Pavilion Notebook - 15-ab057nr and tried to help you! I looked in your question about upgrading the internal hardware. I understand that you are looking to upgrade your hard drive to a Solid State Drive, as well as adding another module of RAM.

  Here is a link to your Service Manual. You can find the specifications for compatible discs on page 49. Please note that this laptop model doesn't support that type hybrid Solid State Drives.

  Maintenance manual, page 55, there will be a list of the size of RAM supported, but also a guide on the replacement of the RAM. Up to 16 GB of RAM may be supported in a 8GB x 2 configuration.

  On pages 46 to 50 of your maintenance manual, you will find instructions on how to remove the rear panel of the laptop, as well as, instructions on the removal of the original hard drive.

  I also found this Vidéo Guide giving visual aid on the replacement of the hard disk. The model of laptop in the video is not exactly the same as the model that you have, but it can provide assistance, however.

  Please let me know how it goes.

• Satellite 5100 503: change the HARD drive and start questions

  My hard drive in my Satellite 5100 broke down and I want to change it.

  According to various posts in the forum, it is not possible to start the 5100 from a CD when there is a (new) hard drive in the machine. And the only way to change the boot sequence is via Windows - what does more - there is no other way to change the settings of the BIOS within Windows.

  I looked in the manual - I find no mention after pressing F12 C or any other combination to change the boot sequence (of course I tried yet without result). The only thing I found possible is to press ESC + F1 for BIOS settings default _restore_. And turning the power on by pressing on the left of the space bar gives me the opportunity to Flash a new BIOS.

  Is this really so? Because that would mean I'm stuck. And in this case I will just save the money for the new hard drive and throw my laptop... (and probably by another brand next time - but I sincerely hope that is not so much...)

  Thanks in advance.

  Best regards
  Thomas

  Nice. ;)
  To my knowledge, it was always possible to boot from the CD. Also, after replacing the HARD drive

• Pavilion 550qe Desktop: is the extensible desktop Pavilion 550qe computer of SSD HARD drive and also increased the RAM?

  I buy the HP Pavilion 550qe desktop computer, and it will come with a 1 to HARD drive and 8 GB of ram.   I'll be able to open and pass at the disk for one SSD... and also, can I replace the 8 GB of RAM for 16 GB?   Is RAM welded in, or is it replaceable?  I heard that HP is very difficult to spend at home, this is true even with desktop computers?

  You are welcome!

  Yes, you can upgrade the memory.  There are two locations of memory on the motherboard.  This is the page for Specifications of the motherboard of the computer.

• Windows 7 says this isn't authentic after changing the HARD drive and can not activate

  After a Windows Update I received a notice that my version of windows was not authentic, which is false because I had windows on my laptop because I got it 4 years ago. Recently, I had to have the changed HARD drive as it corrupts. Installed new HARD drive and partition it a space in which the old files to hard drives. Seemed to turn very well when HARD drives were exchanged and windows installed on the new drive until windows update. My Microsoft certificate key is passed out to illegible but I don't have the product key for the OEM version. Any help would be great, thanks.

  If Windows was preinstalled on your computer, you can enable using the code from the sticker on the computer.  If you can not read the sticker more, you will need to contact the computer company he built.

  If you purchased Windows from the store, you can enable using the code of the case/box/CD.  If you can't read it, you must contact the retailer who sells to you.

• Change my hard drive and reinstall windows 7 Professional from my laptop?

• Don't change your hard drive empty guarantee?

  I think that the answer may be obvious for this but I can't find anywhere so here we Mix.

  OK, so I posted on here a few days on my failed hard drive and determined that I should be replaced, using the extended warranty that I had which allows a free repair on the spot.

  However, two days ago I had to go back to the House of my parents for personal reasons and have not yet updated my address for lenovo. I also not received a call from a technician again. It would not be a big deal, but I start a job in a couple of days where I worked as a sales agent of my laptop and I need it to be functional, so it can run the software suitable for Monday.

  As I've already got the replacement of the hard disk and USB recovery by lenovo post, would it void the warranty if I took it on myself (or a more computer savvy friends) to replace, rather than waiting for the technician to contact me? This isn't a question of impatience, simply a question of "I need my laptop to be 100% functional, so I can work it. Thank you!

  It is primarily focused on the opinion, but I'm sure that the hard drives are believed (by customer replaceable units). Given that they you mailed the replacement drive, you should be able to install a new, and return of mail.

  The box with the hard drive came with a return shipping label? If so, just call Lenovo support and check if you can just do the replacement yourself. Only downside is that you also have to redo the Windows installation if the drive is not image pre.

  Once again, I recommend you call to confirm, but if you're uncomfortable, replacing, it will not void your warranty.

• Windows 10 will change my current setup of the operating system on files on the SSD HARD drive and program/user?

  Way back when I upgraded my main drive to a SSD, I used the following to put all the files of program/user on my HARD drive.  My questions are:

  1. What are replaced to the default settings?

  2. If so, what measures are needed to reach my current setup?

  d:\Users d:\ProgramData

  I would advise against using a script that in the beginning, because some people have had the tough get windows to read files that are not where they are supposed to be.

  For applications and other personal files, 10 Windows offers a similar feature in the settings.

  

  Program files (and the similar system attributes) should probably be intact until the symbolic links (which redirect Windows when he tries to find the file) running again. The application of this article did not work because Windows 7 was new, and equivalents of the command prompt (how I got to this topic) do not work.

  http://www.PCAdvisor.co.UK/how-to/Windows/how-install-software-second-hard-drive-move-program-files-folder-in-Windows-3500581/

  If you go for an upgrade, instead of a clean install, I would consider coming back from these changes to avoid damage or errors during the transition.

• PC HP Compaq 8200 Elite CMT: Replacement of the SSD HARD drive and Recovery Options

  I have a PC HP Compaq 8200 Elite CMT I went recently to drive HARD original for one SSD of 850 Evo from Samsung using Samsungs cloning/copying software. Everything went well and the PC is in use today. I do not see the partition D: Recovery on this machine more well, so I think this has not copied or was lost. I still have the disk that was replaced.

  I was wondering if there is a way to replace HARD drive like this with an SSD and everything by keeping the system recovery feature that was on the HARD disk, and if a set of system recovery disks of before installing SSD would continue to operate, or if I need to create new ones, and if I CAN create new ones.

  rgoodrich

  I did what you want to do (for example, to replace a disk with a DDI) and was able to retain the function of HP recovery - but it's because of two important facts.

  First of all, I used a DDI with the same capacity as the original HARD disk.  This is important because if you use a smaller SDS, the HP recovery feature will no more work as a reset begins with reformatting the drive and recreate the original scores - which will fail if the disc is too small.

  Second, I use Macrium Reflect product to 'clone' the HDD to the DDI, which means, he made an exact copy of the partitions on disk on the SDS.  So, when I swapped drives, the PC restarted without any problem.

  People have posted here on the use of the software from Samsung, and they seem to have problems restarting after use and (apparently) with successful copy from disk HARD original in the new SDS.
