• I have a HP envy j000 and I installed an SSD.

  I have a HP envy j000 and I installed an SSD. If I look at MYPC, it doesn't have the installed ssd. If I look at the Device Manager it shows the installed ssd. What's new?

  The SSD is probably not formatted and mounted as a drive in the system. In other words, it is empty. Right-click on MYPC and choose manage... go to disk management and find the SSD. Make a new simple volume and ntfs format and then assign a letter reader and you'll be good.

  Envy 17 N 001TX HARD + SSD drive

  Product number: M9V44PA

  The laptop has already 2TD HDD.

  Can I add an SSD to this topic?

  Yes. On this model the M.2 slot is present on models with an i7 and a graphics chip dedicated according to the maintenance manual.

  Manual

  See page 2

  However, the manual is very vague as to the location and access to the m2 slot.

  Others have posted pictures and it seems that the manual does not and you don't need to remove and return on the motherboard for access. The location is right above the drive Bay hard see p. 35.

  So you can add a module to the WSSD m2 for your laptop, sometimes called a hard "gumstick" disc

• 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.

• Install SSD in HP Envy 17-j053ea

  I bought a 256GB SSD to go in my HP Envy 17 - j053ea with an existing 1 TB drive.

  Is invalidated my guaranteed license or windows if I install Windows 8.1 on the SSD and replace the existing 1 TB drive?

  * Removed second question and raised as a separate message *.

  Hello:

  I can only answer to your first question.

  The guarantee will be cancelled not if you install an SSD in your laptop.

  But HP will not cover collateral damage you may cause by trying to install the hard drive, or they will support any guarantee for the SSD or the operating system that you are installing as a replacement for the original factory installed HP OS.

• HP pavilion DV7-6c10so: cannot install HP Quick Launch on HP Pavilion DV7-6c10so

  I am really pulling my hair out on this one. Recently I swapped my brothers HARD drive into his laptop, and with that we decided to do a clean installation of windows. Evrything went smooth and well with the excavation and activate Windows. But I ran to a problem with the installation of some software and drivers HP. All drivers except 2 would install properly. Once, it was a hassel to install were the drivers Bluetooth and wi - fi. That's what happened when I tried to launch the exe to install:

  A window opens saying some information on im about to install software. I press next here.

  in the next step, I accept the EULA and press Next.

  Then begins the extraction process and once it has been done the window close.

  After this a windows installer window appears saying: preparing for installation...

  This was followed by: Please wait while Windows install configures the installation...

  During this stage, the progress bar fills upp to 100% and the window closes, and that's all. No message telling me the installation was a success or a failure. no error code or message. If I check the Device Manager I can be that the driver is not installed. I solved this problem by right-clicking on the device and then choose install driver and then find the extracted folder and choose the driver in there.

  But here's the tricky part and my problem, I need the software of quick launch buttons asswell but Installer is broken here as well. but since this isn't a driver I can't operate by itself.

  I let the Installer do its thing and all that with the drivers just sort of stops. No messagege not nothing. The program does not appear in the Control Panel, the task bar or in active processes (yes I restarted the computer). However I find it under Add/Remove programs in the Control Panel, so the computer thinks its installed. the same for HP software executives, but it is not as important.

  If I go to the extracted installation location I get a lage Setup window that says welcome to the quick launch HP Setup Wizard. Here, I choose to remove it ocr fix/repair it. I tried manny time to fix but I doesent help. I uninstalled and then installed using this installer manny thus times. Nothing helps. but atleasst with this installer, I get a quick launch of HP has been successfully installed message, yet it doesent work.

  what I tried:

  I installed each updates windows and .net.

  I tried to install an older version (for software farmeworks and quick launch).

  I reformatted and reinstalled the computer once again to see if the problem was caused by windows.

  go to the installation folder and run there (only for software frameworks).

  News of the computer:

  model: HP Pavilion DV7-6c10so

  Shipping os OS: Windows 7 Home premium x 64

  After reformatting operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium x 64

  I'm in the desperaste need to get this working because it's my brothers computer and it needs today to come back later and I said wrong I work just like before.

  Sorry for the bad English everybody!

  Hello

  In this case, it may be worth trying the following.

  Uninstall the current version QLB and restart.

  Download the version from the following link and save the installation program.

  http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp56501-57000/sp56929.exe

  Use software such as 7-Zip manually extract the contents of the Setup program, and then run the setup.exe routine (20 KB) as an administrator since the extraction folder.

  This can or can not give an indication that it completed - if not, leave it for 5 minutes, then restart.

  If it still does not work, check if the routines are present in C:\Program Files (x 86) \Hewlett-Packard\HP quick launch area and let me know - I'm going to work but to hope to be back within the hour.

• Envy 17 model 17-j102ea SSD Boot question, Legacy Support, BIOS

  Hi, first post ever and excuse if this has been covered - if so, please me directly to pertinent information.

  Bought an Envy 17-j102ea...

  Hardware problems I would like help / advice for, please:

  Legacy support / boot from USB Flash Stick:
  Tried to install Windows 8 via a USB bootable work has confirmed...
  The laptop does not detect except Legacy Support is turned on...
  Once Windows is installed on drive (1 TB 5400 original disc), if I turn OFF then Legacy Support again (as DEFAULT) it starts not from the installed windows now HDD - only when I put Legacy Support back on will it boot.
  Can someone please explain / advise?

  Question SSD:
  Try to use a 240GB vertex 3 SSD Drive...
  Computer laptop wont recognize it- whether it is in Legacy Support mode...
  I've seen a few posts on the compatibility and 240 GB not supported...
  It's for real?

  BIOS:
  This is a complaint, I want something on this topic, please...
  REALLY.
  Why so basic bios options?
  Why can't have two readers in the laptop and choose which start from the first that is alternate between discs easily when I choose?
  For a decent computer ", a poor quality BIOS, it disappoints BIG TIME.
  It should be fairly easy for programmers to HP create a GUI BIOS updated with the best options.

  * I'm a student in computer SCIENCE and make a clean installation on this laptop with no product key, SSD and a very basic BIOS incompatibility sticker, I find it a little boring, and it takes a lot of my time...

  Looking forward to some useful answers.
  Thank you in advance.

  Oh, I didn't know you meant that.

  Update:

  I bought 8.1 Pro student - implemented on a USB stick (the same Corsair Voyager one) - activated UEFI mode...

  It set up perfectly om the 240 GB agility SSD 3!

  On the F9 boot menu option it acknowledged even the USB as UEFI.

  Very happy now :))

  BUT, can you please help me with something else?

  I put the 1 TB HDD in BAY2 5400 original, and it is not recognized at all.

  Any suggestions?

  So, thank you for your help miuch. : )

  ... LAST UPDATED:

  After rebooting the system TWO it recognizes the 1 TB drive! : )

  Thanks again for your help.

  You have been great, and I learned a lot on the way :)

• HP Pavilion dv7 not recognizing their 'new' capacity of 750 GB HARD drive.

  1. Intel Core 2 Duo P7350 CPU processor.
  2. Windows 7 Home Premium - 64 bit (factory installed Vista update) OS.
  3. 2048 MB is memory.

  'SMART' HARD drive imminent failure message received:

  1. Original disc installed HARD is a 500 GB Western Digital model WD5000DBEVT.
  2. SMART two weeks' ago error messages indicating imminent failure of HDD appeared.
  3. A check of the HP Web site checked the error number corresponds to "imminent HARD drive failure.
  4. The message prompted me to 'save' the HARD drive.
  5. I completed a backup of files and an image via the "Backup and Restore" feature backup of Windows 7.
  6. The backup has been to an external Seagate 1 TB USB connected external HARD disk
  7. In addition, I created a 'Windows 7 64 bit system repair disc' using the backup and restore of Windows 7 feature.

  Replacement HARD drive:

  1. I bought a 750 GB (7200 RPM) Western Digital model WD75000BPKX.
  2. When formatting the HARD disk (via the CD of 'Windows 7 64 bit system repair disc') replacement I observed the formatting of the process that the size of the disc HARD has been reported that 500 GB (compared to the actual size of 750 GB).
  3. With the help of the rollback on the CD "repair" feature I restored it (backup on external USB connected HDD image) image.
  4. Later, I check the 'properties' from the 'device' (the new HDD of 750 GB and observed that Windows 7 also pointed out this new HARD drive as a 500 GB drive (compared to a 750 GB drive).

  Site HP Web search:

  1. A search in the Web of HP SP5575, referred to as software download site and 'run' to identify a 'Advanced Format hard drive.
  2. A downloaded execution of and run this software has given rise to the audit that the 'new' Western Digital model WD75000BPKX is an 'Advanced Format Hard Drive.
  3. The site also shows to support a 'Advanced Format hard drive' the "device driver" must be at least version 9.6.01014 Rev: has (the current version is 6.1.7600.16385).
  4. The SP50624 Web site, referred to as software to download and 'run' to update the disk device driver (found in Control Panel/Device Manager/disk drives/Driver/updated updated driver for Windows 7).
  5. I have downloaded and run SP50624 and as a guest 'Update Driver' selected in the Control Panel/Device Manager/disk/disk driver and also "indicated the location where the new driver after 'running' SP50624.

  7. The software (e.g., Windows) running on the 'new' unacceptable short slow disk. It is a symptom commonly identified when a disk with 'Advanced Format' works without the drivers appropriate and formatting.

  Issues and options:

  1. Is there a solution that will allow the model of HP Pavilion dv7 - 2173cl to use this 'new HARD drive (a compatible disc HARD driver update that will install or another available solution that will accommodate a HARD drive to Format advanced such as the 750 GB (7200 RPM) Western Digital model WD75000BPKX)?
  2. Or is my only solution regarding the HP Pavilion model dv7 - 2173 cl to buy a 500 GB HDD without 'Advanced Format '?
  3. And finally buy a vintage/new laptop today.

  Thanks for your suggestions.

  Problem solved.

  I solved the problem as follows:

  1. I chose to reload Windows 7 from "scratch" after your positive validation of this approach.
  2. This required me to reload all applications (for example, Microsoft Office).
  3. Note: A reload of the OS and Applications from "scratch" requires access to the "Product Key".
  4. During the initial charging of Windows 7 and the formatting of the 'new' drive Windows 7 provided the possibility to remove the partitions (remove/reorder) that had been affected by the recovery process 'attempt' described above. With the help of this function I eliminated the partitions and 'Add' the "unallocated" space to the overall capacity of 750 GB HARD drive.
  5. After reloading the OS, I checked via 'Properties' that all of the 750Go were present and available - success.

  Thank you for your support.

• HP Envy 360, model 15-U363CL: Synaptics Clickpad setttings works does not properly in Windows 10

• USB not recognized - even when there is no device at all (Windows 7, Pavilion dv7)

  For a few days now, I get the message

  "USB device not recognized: one of the USB devices attached to this computer is not working properly." The device has not been recognised "."

  He keeps popping up in my right corner below, every 5 seconds if I don't click it. When I click on the message, I get a list of devices (ports) are available. There is an "unknown device". Maybe it has something to do with the (biometric) finger scan? This has not worked very well lately...

  Even when there is no single USB device installed (normally, I have a mouse and a Targus laptop cooling mat installed as USB devices), it keeps popping up. I tried to remove the USB port from the list (or uninstall) in the remote control, but it seems that it keeps happening.

  I got it all of a sudden, I have nothing specific to has not logged any strange devices (except for a spotlight on exit external screen, but this has nothing to do with USB). I also hear the sound for the connection / disconnection USB devics randomly when I'm on my laptop.

  Someone has an idea?

• HP Envy 15 laptop t: installing new batteries Notebook

  Hi all

  I have a laptop HP Envy (p/n K2T41AV) who arrived via FedEx an hour ago. I struggled to install the battery since then. The small design on the "Installation Instructions" is incomprehensible. I don't know it is logical for someone who knows how to install the battery, but it's not here. I prefer not to break. I'm usually good with instructions, no news from computers, but did not have a new laptop in about six years.

  Can anyone help?

• Envy of HP dv7-7332ea - System Restore does not work on windows 8

  Hey there,

  I recently bought this machine about a month ago. I used the Windows 8 System Restore feature to restore my pc to a previous state.

  However, after running it, I got a message saying: it failed and to ensure my anti virus is disabled. Accordingly, I have disabled Norton and tried again but it still does not work.

  Previously, the only problem I had with the pc was that he locked himself completely and therefore I turned off the machine that I have been unable to close.

  When I rebooted, HP Support Assistant could not run and so I uninstalled and then reinstalled from website theHP. It is now resolved. The thing is I'm a little scared that something is wrong with the machine that is the reason why I think that the system restore does not work.

  I'm a newbie on the computers here. Could you please give me some advice to diagnose if there is nothing wrong with my machine and fix the system restore?

  See you soon,.

  Damon

  Hi Damon,

  Norton is a component called 'Tamper Protection' that should be disabled before a system restore can be performed - for more details on this topic, see the following link.

  Disable self-protection.

• ENVY of HP dv7 Notebook PC: install Windows 8 discs HP

  I just ny laptop from HP repair center a week ago and I already had to perform a system reset.  I tried to reset my laptop and the message I got was, ' cannot reset no, because no disk partition detected ".  I called HP and they could not help, they told me that I have to reinstall Windows 8 and they post the discs to me.  HP blamed the problem of the partition on the fact that I had Windows 8 is installed and then I downloaded Windows 8.1 store Windows and it screwed in place the parition.  This answer has any sense at all to me.

  As I mentioned earier, HP is mailing me new Windows 8 discs. However, the technical support representative HP told me that the discs do not come with a product key.  How can I perform a clean installation without Windows product key?

  Yes at the time the upgrade of the OS is corrupt or delete the recovery partition, especially when it formats the disk.  It is always better to create recovery disks when you get the computer.

  The key of Windows 8 is embedded in the BIOS and not need to know the key when you reinstall, the installation will recognize the key.  If you want to know what your key, download Belarc Advisor, and it will give you all kinds of information about your computer: http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html

  It is best to upgrade to 8.1 Windows because it is more stable and with the new Windows 10 to come this year you will be eligible to get the free update if you are running 8.1
