Desktop HP Envy 700-305no: SSD Installation Guide

Hello

The pc comes with a hard drive hybrid with 16 GB of cache Express, and some say, that I am therefore not able to install the SSD.

The wish for SSD comes from the coming Win 10 which I would install on SSD alongside the most used applications either Office and others.

I've been in contact with HP, but they seem unable to specify the How - to's question. Strange when you know that they sell these PCs for a living.

As I'm fairly new to SSD, I would warmly welcome a guide step by step for the zero on the SSD installation and new operating system on this particular machine.

Must also have a list of would be nice (cables, rack...) as well as a description of the location where on the motherboard, the drive must be connected.

Finally, any information may be necessary - I read somewhere that you need to disable the original hard drive to install the SSD, and somewhere else that the boot sequence should be changed. Others again, said that the SSD will be automatically recognized, and some say I have to get the pc to install the SSD.

All of these statements leave me a little confused and with a lot more questions, e.g. what will happen with the old Win 8.1 on the C drive, if I install a Win 10 on SSD?

Wow - it's a lot to ask, but I hope someone is able to help me, and I send you all to thank you in advance

Kindly

Hello

There is a lot of confusion and frustration with the help of technology.  These two words are very common on many forums.

I suggest you Google "SSD Installation Guide" and you should find a lot of general literature.

Installation of a 2.5 SSD "will require a special mounting for your PC kit...  HP should have what you need. Please read this thread.

Frankly, you won't earn as much in performance using a SSD verses your existing configuration.

  • Desktop HP ENVY 700: problems with the boot from usb in the bios

    Hi I'm trying to boot from usb on a desktop HP ENVY 700. I don't know the serial number now.

    I followed the instructions and have produced a bootable USB and I checked this on a work dell computer where there is an option for me to boot from my USB if I so wish, but on my HP ENVY any options choose it does not appear with my USB in question and when I try to change the boot sequence making sure the usb/floppy and drive hard usb is above the rest of the sequencers starting it always starts just to the top as usual to my windows boot 10. I've disabled secure boot and used the boot of the legacy and it still does not work.

    I went through all the options I can that seem to be logic and it just does not work. I don't understand and I have to start using a usb key that I use the operating system can be very dangerous in a real environment, so it can not be downloaded to the hard drive.

    I need immediate help, this becomes quite frustrating now that it should be simple to do, but HP is not the way to simplisitic to do.

    Please if someone could point me in the right direction I would be so appreciative ideally if I could have a ride on the way to do

  • HP Envy 700-430qe PC: Installation of SSD

    I just bought a HP Envy 700-430qe PC and want to install a new 256GB Solid State drive.
    (1) can I just use the factory reset HP recovery option to install OEM Windows 8.1 on this operating system? Since the splash screen?
    (2) otherwise, what happens if I first install Windows 7 on SSD? I could then use the HP factory reset to clean install Windows 8.1? From the desktop?
    (3) or could you point me to a tutorial on installing a SSD using the OEM 8.1 operating system?

    Apparently, many people have this issue, but I can't find an answer with a reliable consensus.

    Hello

    You can use the external HP recovery media to install a new factory on the SSD system. It is the recommended approach.  Just follow the posted HP recovery procedures.  These extra HP posted articles will also be beneficial.  Read these articles before beginning the process.  Maybe twice would be wise.

  • HP ENVY 700-305no desktop PC: Bios update failure.

    Long story short (a little).

    I got a virus, is a virus really means, crypt all my files, prevents the opening of antivirus programs and redirects the downloads.

    virus survives 3 reset factory, 3 hard drive formats, and a reinstall of Windows.

    This leads me to believe that he himself got into the Bios of my computer.

    so I downloaded the latest bios for my system, in this case

    Update the BIOS HP consumer desktop PC (SSID family ROM 2AF3)

    through the Setup program on another computer, I installed the update to the bios of my USB,

    inserted in my main pc, held down the Windows and key B, while starting my computer.

    This led beeps and my computer Wrooms, 10 minutes later, nothing happened.

    I decided to start the installer directly from inside infected computer, but this resulted in a failure too.

    say that the downloaded bios is not compatible.

    What I'm asking is how I should go about the removal of the old bios (possibly) infected and reinstall it again.

    I'm not aware of a way to Flash the BIOS in Ubuntu, but it might be possible if there is a wine app in the version you have.  I have not experienced or read where someone else tried it either.  You could ask for more in the Ubuntu forums.  Don't know if it is possible to WIN PE 3.0 either.

  • HP ENVY 700-000z Desktop PC with 8 and the need to know if I can install Windows 7

    Just bought HP ENVY 700-000z Desktop PC equipped with 8 and need to know if I can install Windows 7 on this computer without problem.  My work does not allow the use of Windows 8.  If I can install Windows 7, what version of operating system do I need to buy to do a clean install.

    If I understand correctly, I could order the Windows 8 Pro, who has right to demotion and then install Windows

    7 pro, I have then I should be able to get the drivers, I need HP is correct.

    WARNING *.

    HP does not recommend installing Windows 7 on a computer comes with Windows 8, and it will support the installation of Windows 7. HP doesn't provide drivers for Windows 7 and the appropriate drivers are not available for the hardware in the computer. In addition, Windows 7 can not take in charge some of the hardware or software designed for the computer.

    Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

    You should ENABLE 'Secure Boot' and maybe 'Legacy Support' in the 'BIOS Setup boot secured' on the settings page below, before you try to install Windows 7;

    or

    In addition, as the hard drive is partitioned as TPG, you must start the computer by using the "UEFI - CD/DVD drive" in the start menu "F9". If "UEFI - CD/DVD drive" or something to that effect does not exist in the start menu, please post a screenshot and/or make startup listed options.

    I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best installation experience. If you need Windows SP1, see 'How to install Windows 7 without the disc' to download and create your own. If the DVD does not start as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (can ask "Quick start" DISABLING in BIOS) as the installation media. Please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash drive.

    Most of the Windows 7 drivers from the drivers of HP Pavilion p7-1299 c desktop PC page should work on your desktop HP ENVY 700 - 000z CTO. Both models use a variant of the motherboard HP Jasmine. If you have missing or unknown devices after installing the drivers, please post the "Hardware ID" Device Manager for devices as shown in the example below.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • HP ENVY 700-030qe: BIOS updates for my HP desktop computer

    I have a desktop HP ENVY 700-030qe with Windows 8. While looking through the updates of software available for my system, I have seen two listed in the BIOS:

    (1) HP Compaq consumer Desktop PC BIOS for ROM family SSID 2AF3 dated October 2014.

    (2) HP Desktop BIOS update system for PC HP ENVY 700/800/810 with 2AF3 family ROM dated May 2014.

    1. How will I know what family of ROM BIOS I have? I have pictures of all the screens of BIOS that I could get and nothing mentioned family BIOS ROM. I still have the BIOS original version KAI 80.07.

    2. the two updates apply to my computer? The wording is confusing. It seems that only the second apply to my system unless one applies to a more general category of the office. If both apply, as the first is the most recent, which would be the one to use?

    3. There is an issued for the BIOS in June security update that I ran across here. Which does not appear in the update list. Why would that not replace the other? Can I assume that the October update would include this security update?

    Thank you

    (1) is there a more powerful video card that I can just pop to replace the current card?

    (2) should I buy a new desktop computer, and if so, what would you recommend for audio and video editing?

    (1) is there a more powerful video card that I can just pop to replace the current card?  The first thing you should do is upgrade the power supply (PSU).  The current PSU is only 300W.  Most newer cards require a minimum is 400W to work properly.  I recommend at least 500W to give you extra power for peak needs.  I love Corsair products.  As for a video card, here's a card which should give you more power.  I suggest you read the reviews to see what users have to say about it.

    (2) should I buy a new desktop computer, and if so, what would you recommend for audio and video editing?  If you decide to buy a new computer, the new gaming PC are great.  Here are a few examples.  One of them as displayed will be much more powerful than your existing computer.  You can configure all that you need.

    Hello Riddle,

    Thank you very much for your prompt and quick response here.  Sorry for reply late bit by me.

    Here what I did to resolve this unique problem of landmines.  After spending hours searching online, finally, I've been succssful for windows 5 TB GPT HD 10

    (1) started the desktop computer HP Envy 700-230qe CTO in Legacy BIOS and 5 to as MBR format (only 2 TB has been recognized in the MBR, FYI)... and loaded Windows Pro x 64 using Windows DVD 10 (under Legacy BIOS, I was able to get the key USB and USB CD/DVD bootable options, which are not there to Boot UEFI.)

    (2) after successful installation of Windows 10, I used AMOEI Partition Wizard and converted my HD MBR of HD Type GPT, and fortunately I have is not losing any data system or windows and then shut down the PC

    (3) changed Legacy UEFI BIOS, restarted the PC and luckinly this time, converted GPT HD recognized with WIndows installed 10, and PC has started after a few minutes of setting.

    (4) once, I was in environment WIndows 10, I was able to use the rest 3 TB of space as another partition I formatted using Standard Windows disk management.  Am so happy that I could find practical solution so that I am able to use fully 5 TB with Secure Boot to increase the security of my PC.

    Thank you
