Desktop HP Envy h8-1485ea: hp envy h8-1485ea slow at startup

I have had this PC for a few years now and even though I keep the start up programs at least the boot time is now about 5 minutes.

I think that this pc has a 16 GB drivewhich SSD I thought caching was supposed to prevent from starting slow times.

The PC is a desktop 64-bit HP Envy h8-1485ea system.

Is it possible that when I upgraded from Windows 8 to 10 of Windows operating system has been installed on the main 3 TB hard drive? If that were the case, how should I move to the SSD drive?

Or should I put the SSD drive and if so, what specifications?

The SSD 16 GB drive aims to speed up access memory, is not to speed up the startup time.

The upgrade to Windows 10 made for the operating system on the hard drive of 3 TB. Upgrade Windows 10 will not install to one as small as 16 GB of SSD.

You can install a SATA 160 GB SSD and a greater capacity and configure it as a startup disk.

Use the hard drive 3 TB of storage.

It is recommended that clone you the current startup for the SATA SSD drive before you install it in the desktop PC.

Friendship will be the start-up and operation of the PC.

    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

    Did you read the MS article that I posted above?  There are instructions on how to do not require a password.

    Since the upgrade to Windwos 8.1 is free, then you should do this update and apply all of the published HP updates.  Then watch this video and it will show you how to remove the password and lock screen.

  • Desktop HP ENVY Phoenix 860VX: how to replace ssd boot drive in a desktop HP ENVY Phoenix 860VX?

    I bought a desktop computer HP ENVY Phoenix 860VX with an SSD of 256 GB of disk as a boot disk with a disk of 1 TB storage.  I have a Samsung Evo Pro 500 GB SSD I want to use as the startup disk.  I cloned the original drive to the Samsung Evo without problem.  I opened the PC folder to move hard disks, and I can't find the SSD drive.  I found the pretty easy storage of 1 TB drive but cannot find the SSD drive.  Can anyone help?

    Greetings,

    You can have a PCIe M.2 (Non - SED) Solid State Drive 256Go.

    This drive connects to the motherboard, it's the size of a stick of gum.

    It can be mounted vertically or stand flat on the motherboard (MB).

    M2 the drive is much faster than an SATA 3 SSD.  You may not be happy with this change if you bought a SATA 3 SSD. You might be better off going to a 512 GB m2 if the MB supports. I noticed that the m2 drive runs closer to the rated speed when using a k i7 - 5930 or an i7-5960 x due to the track of 40 PCIe bus as opposed to 28 tracks on the i7-5820 k.

    It should be close to the PCIe slots. ASRock, Asus and Gigabyte locate M.2 slots here as it connects with the bus PCIe x 16 and uses the bandwidth of one of the 16 slots x.

    If this is true, install the SATA SSD in the available Bay HHD using an adapter 2.5 inches. Then change the default boot device in the BIOS for the SATA SSD. You may need to experiment on what SATA port you use. EFI can be finicky. It is also possible that you may have to reinstall the original image. I have an Asrock x 99 card in m.2. Asrock BIOS is much more forgiving and configurable. I'm not familiar with MB of your PC or the boot configuration options available during the passage of a m2 boot device to a boot SATA device.

    This change of equipment could also ruin to restore the PC using the original image. It depends on whether this change of equipment is a configurable option to purchase.

    See you soon!

  • Desktop HP ENVY Phoenix 810qe: Blu - ray player and SuperMulti DVD burner

    I am interested in the HP Store and want to buy HP Envy 810qe desktop. It has a 'Blu - ray player and SuperMulti DVD burner." Can I burn data and media projects of discs blu - ray recordable with this burner? I have two different answers when I talk with the Sales Department of online chat.

    If the description says "drive Blu - ray and DVD SuperMulti burner."  Then it can only burn to DVD or CD.  In the description in the "customize and buy" button is says - play music and movies, backup files and burn your own CD and DVD.

    There is no possibility to opt for this particular model, unfortunately.

  • Adding a graphics card from nVidia GT640 to a new desktop HP Envy

    Since buying a new HP ENVY 700-147c desktop PC and a new nVidia GEForce 640 GE video card on in November 2013 (cybermonday sales), I could not have the HP Envy boot with the GE 640 card in place. After hitting the Start button, with one of the HDMI ports allow (same results using a VGA > HDMI adapter), I get a series of POST messages is with the screens VGA HDMI to stay black.

    I removed internally AMD video drivers such as recommended by the technical support from nVidia, but with the same results. When I removed the card GE 640, the Win 8.1 has reset the original drivers, and I can run off the coast of the internal VGA / HDMI ports on the desire, but with much lower resolution than the 640 GE would allow card.

    I repeated this procedure and checked the BIOS to see if there is an adjustment could be made, but none have been noted... Please advise if I have missed anything in the BIOS of envy.

    I repeated the procedure with a well-known nVidia GEForce 9500GT card from another HP Pavilion PC running Windows 7 Pro. Power over the results were the same. black screens with POST messages about 4-5 seconds after switching on.

    After the withdrawal of the 9500GT card, I was still able to operate with the integrated graphic card HP Envy.

    Please advise on how I can add the GE 640 card, I bought the new envy, for graphics work I do.

    Hello:

    You need to change two settings of the BIOS, then reinstall your new video card.

  • Desktop HP Envy 750qe: cannot install ESXI 6.0 on this server

  • Pavilion 6610f desktop: HP Envy & WARNING: drive hard Imminent failure (please backup and replace immediately!)

    Recently, I had 2 different cats with HP Tech Reps in which they used their remote control programs to check on the problems that I had with my new HP Envy 5560 all-in-one.  The next day, at the start of my desktop PC, I got the warning message: "" imminent hard drive failure: if it please take a full backup and replace immediately. "" I did a scan from HP and it showed nothing wrong. There are no pop icons - up or whatever it is on my desktop screen to indicate a problem.  The hard Seagate I have is only 1 years and 89% free space left on it and there is no problem, other than being slow sometimes, before the cats remote and the PC warning.  I came to the forum looking for answers, and the first thing I noticed was a post to say today 09/04/2015 Bent Canuck: "HP Envy Hard Drive Failure" at 06:22. What a coincidence. Think are?  Only some 20 hours from the time I myself first 'hard drive Imminent failure warning' and only about 40 hours after the remote programs have been downloaded (twice) and the rep tech, taking control of my computer (twice).

    I ran all the diagnostics that my intermediate PC experience tells me to do.  I checked in the BIOS and I checked all the HP, troubleshooting, etc. on the Assistant HP program performance. I can find no reason for the hard drive to be failing.  I didn't notice it do anything else to be a little slow to start sometimes and slow to load stuff onto the internet, I have assumed it was probably malware and spyware that I must find a way to remove at one point, but I have received no warning about things either.  I get the same caveat and I did a full back, but...

    Can someone tell me what to do or how to check and see what the problem is until I have to just chuck the drive because of this warning?

    Thank you for the additional information.

    Did you run the BIOS CHIP to test your hard drive?  Also, I don't think that the added hard disk HP software had nothing to do with the message you receive.

  • Want to 810qe of Phoenix: upgrade graphics card on desktop HP Envy Phoenix 810qe

    If earlier I wanted a new Phoenix 810qe Desktop (windows version 8) with the following customizations: 4th gen Intel i7 - 4790 k @4.0 Ghz, 16 GB DDR3 - 1600 Mhz (2 DIMM), 2 TB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive, cache SSD 16 GB mSATA, HP WLAN 802.11 DB 2 x MCard BT WIDI 2 ac, 15 in 1 Multi Media Card Reader slot , 6 USB ports (front/back), Audio [before 4USB2.0, 2USB3.0 top of the page], 4 GB Nvidia GeForce GTX 745. I want to know if I could put in an Nvidia Geforce GTX 980 instead of the 745 GTX graphics card. Reading this post on the forum (http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware/Upgrade-My-HP-ENVY-Phoenix-810qe-Desktop/td-p/4679014) I know that the computer has a power of 500w. But in the post, that it seemed that the person asking the question just had basic computer and had not adapted it, and I still have to wonder if the customization that I did for my computer took more watts of the PSU.  Now that I know that the GTX 980 would need 500 all the watts that my computer can offer that I want to know if my computer is perhaps still able to run this beast of a GPU. Anyone have any ideas? If this isn't the case, I think I can just settle for a Geforce GTX 960 because who needs to 400 w of total power of the system. But I'm not even sure that would work on my current computer either. Any help?
