Dv6t-7000 Edition Quad SSD Upfgrade Question

My HP laptop, running Win7 64 Bit, 8g of Ram and has a 160 GB SSD installed HP. Is there a reason I can't upgrade for one SSD 256 GB SSD? HP want to make you believe, he cannot and should not be done.

Watching a Crucial 256 gb than my update and plan to use the Crucial easy install all of the laptop to copy all of my present ssd in the new, so my next question is:

What else, if anything, should be done differently that all copy old ssd to the new SSD and then installation in the laptop?

I put a processor Intel 330 240 GB SSD in my ENVYdv6 (and the SONY VAIO seized), and it works fine. If the Crucial site says that the drive will fit your machine, I would say go for it. (I don't know, but it may void your warranty.)

You can even get out of your CD drive and replace it with the old SSD using a hard drive caddy and then put the CD drive in an external enclosure. (let me know if you want more information on this front)

Once you reinstall the operating system on the new drive and install your programs and move your files on (or after the Crucial set is all that, what that floats your boat), I can't imagine what you need to do - that's all I had to do.

  • Pavilion dv6t-7000 QE: upgrade factory ssd for the four edition dv6t-7000

    I have a laptop DV6T - 7000 CTO Quad Edition, 64-bit Windows 7, I had configured with a 160 GB SSD from the factory.  It works great, very fast, but I want to move to a larger ssd. In looking at a crucial or sandisk pro now, 480 GB or more.

    My question: if I use the cloning software that will copy everything to the new ssd, included windows operating system?

    I really want to do a complete reinstallation of the operating system that I don't see the need for it. Most likely I will modernize in any case next year to win 10, or whatever they called.

    Somehow this update seems easy enough to do, but I want to anticipate any potential isses before we start.

    What do you think? This who should I look for? If there is a problem, can I pop just my current ssd right in?

    Thank you

    Yes he clones above. Choose a proportional resizing of partitions. And Yes, if the clone does not work, you can always pop concert the 160 original. I use Acronis True Image Home 2014 for cloning and it works fine. Some versions of the Samsung 840 and 850 equipped with a migration kit which has the SATA Adapter USB and a CD containing software for disk cloning.

    You can also buy a separate kit:

  • Ordered a 7000-dv6t Quad Edition but received a dv6t-7000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC

    I ordered a Quad dv6t-7000 with Win7 Ultimate edition (all confirmed in my writings to order), but a dv6t-7000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC has been delivered. I just found out that's what they were sent instead. What is the difference in the features? Do I need to return it for all the same features that I ordered?

    Also, my portable drive was supposed to have a backlit keyboard, but the laptop delivered is not... unless there is a way to activate backlit. I tried to find out how to activate the backlit keyboard, but not him have not yet discovered. I didn't find any documentation anywhere on this subject.

    Thanks for any help

    Hey,.

    Dv6t-7000 CTO will be the same, however, we use the CTO marker (configured to order) on any model with some customizations made in the order. Even if you adjust the hardware options, if you have added any software or anything this is improved during the purchase process, then he would give the CTO marker. Don't worry, you have received the correct computer

    For the backlit keyboard, on most of the models the hotkey to activate it is Fn + F5. The F5 F4 on some models, the correct key will have 3 small squares side by side.

    Hello

    You may have two configs using SSDS. The first is to get an SSD as Samsung 256 GB 2.5 "(j'ai eu sur mon Core i5/GT 650 M Dv6-7000) Pro and use it as a main boot drive in the hard drive Bay." The second is to have an mSATA (a bit more difficult to access as says Hüffer) SSD as boot drive (I just got one on a laptop of M6-1000) and keep the hard drive for data.

    I prefer a pure SSD, but the way with mSATA as boot drive is also OK. However, there is no option in the BIOS to start from mSATA for the boot loader must be installed on the disk 2.5 "hard and the system on the mSATA one. I fear that, in both cases, you will need to perform a new installation, because strong readers are not as large as the original hard drives and recovery disks cannot work with them.

  • HP Pavilion dv6t-6100 CTO Quad Edition Entertainment Notebook PC bluetooth?

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6t-6100 CTO Quad Edition Entertainment Notebook PC with Win7 Home Edition. The manual indicates that it has bluetooth capabilities. Device Manager does not list a bluetooth adapter. Belarc Advisor said that the laptop has an Intel Centrino Wireless Bluetooth 3.0 adapter and high-speed virtual. I downloaded and installed sp55138.exe Intel PROSet driver bluetooth, but still no bluetooth.

    This laptop have bluetooth capability, and what is the appropriate driver/software to activate it?

    Thank you.

    To check if your laptop is Bluetooth capable, go to the device and then manager network adapters. Note the model of network adapter, and then check the manufacturer's website. My original card is an Intel N1000, that isn't compatible Bluetooth. I intend to change it on shortly with another model that has Bluetooth.

  • Key Action WiFi does NOT work on Pavilion DV6t-7000

    I just got a new Pavilion DV6t-7000 Quad Edition laptop, and the first thing I did after I boot the system was to upgrade the operating system.  I have an MSDN subscription, so I've upgraded to Windows 8 Pro (RTM).  Everything is great... except for the WiFi button.  It does simply not to turn on or turn off the WiFi connection.

    It always shows a white LED while the WiFi is on, and pressing the button does nothing.  Other action keys may work... the brightness, mute audio, etc.  If I disable the WiFi in the network Panel, then the light turns red.  As if she recognizes the WiFi it's takes no action to actually turn on or turn it off.

    I updated the BIOS to the latest version, by the site of HP support for the 64 bit of Windows 8 OS, and I checked in the BIOS action keys are enabled.

    Can someone help me get this to work?

    Thank you!

    Have you tested it before loading Windows 8 on it?

    Support of thing going before interview, that Windows 8 drivers are available or not, is to perform a recovery to the original embedded operating system.

    If it is a fault, the question would be present in the original Windows 7 operating system as well. I suspect that this is largely a software/driver problem.

    Also, I recommend the update to the BIOS before installing Windows 8. Windows 8 installations work differently with the BIOS that previous versions of Windows, so the end result would be different to reinstall Windows 8 from the version of the BIOS is different this time.

    However, I recommend he get back to Windows 7 in order to ensure all features is present.

    I know you probably don't want to go back in the recovery efforts there to Windows 7 and then put 8 on.

    By chance, you did the recovery disks for your system first? If this is not the case, they must be ordered from HP. You can try to use the Recovery Manager to create, but I don't know if it will work since the operating system has been modified.

    In all cases, whether it works or not with the original software, she shipped will help determine if it is a defect or not. More than likely, it is not and is only a matter of unfortunate compatibility with Windows 8.

  • HP Pavilion dv6t-7000: Please HELP! Fetching drivers after the Windows Setup

    Hello

    I think I messed my laptop pretty badly. I have improved my Win 7 Home Premium x 64 to win 10 by using Windows Update, but I have stumbled on the question of the "black screen" and could not solve the problem, so what I did was reinstall my windows using a Windows 7 Ultimate x 64 configuration, which was a huge mistake.

    It seems I've lost not many things after installing, but I want to fix right now is internet connection and USB connection. Currently, the only way is to Exchange data with my laptop via a CD. It seems that my laptop cannot recognize a cable ethernet as a removable storage device, and I guess that's because I'm missing a bunch of pilots:

    The 'Ethernet controller' used to be among the "other devices" with an exclamation point, but I just installed the Realtek PCIe (SP63213) thing and it appeared under 'network adapters '. I guess it has something to do with the issue of cable internet, but did not check whether it has been fixed or not. [Edit: it has indeed fixed the issue of the internet.] At least now I have internet connection]

    As you can see, there's quite a few other drivers missing as listed in the section other devices. I tried the update driver option, but could not do everywhere. If I choose "Browse my computer for driver software", then "Let Me pick from a list of device...", then "select type your device... "I'll get to a long list of many things (screenshot below) and I have no idea where I should go from here.

    I tried to select some items, but still got the error "the device could not be started."

    So, my questions are: how to get all these missing drivers? How can I make my phone able to recognize again the USB? Can I really fix these just by choosing the correct point in the list above (which means that I will not need internet connection)? Or I have to download the correct stuff on the internet?

    My laptop is a HP dv6t-7000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC. Now, my OS is Win 7 Ultimate x 64. It would be of any help, the hardware for the controller (USB) ID are:

    PCI\VEN_8086 & DEV_1E31 & SUBSYS_1818103C & REV_04

    PCI\VEN_8086 & DEV_1E31 & SUBSYS_1818103C

    PCI\VEN_8086 & DEV_1E31 & CC_0C0330

    PCI\VEN_8086 & DEV_1E31 & CC_0C03

    I had trouble yesterday and I am totally at a loss right now. I'd appreciate any help. If additional information is needed, please let me know. Thank you very much for your answer.
