Envy 17 t J8L28AV: Envy 17 t - J8L28AV - install 240GB Samsung SSD as primary

I wanted to move my HD to a 240GB SSD as my primary and use the stock 1 TB 5400 as my secondary. This configuration might work?

My laptop is coming soon and I wanted to just make sure it would work.

Your laptop can theoretically take a WSSD M.2 of small hard drive and a SATA 2.5 inch drive. Here is the Manual:

Manual

BUT (a big problem) this model is extremely difficult to work on. There is no easy access to the hard drives and memory Panel and any changes require almost complete disassembly, which may void the warranty. This isn't like the previous series of 17 t - j000 Envy who had an easy access panel and 2 big SATA 2.5 HDD bays inches.

    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.

    Hi @CuriousMind,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I see that your HP Envy 5644 will not install the drivers for your Windows 7 laptop. I'm happy to help you!

    To download the scan doctor, see this website, HP print and Scan Doctor.

    Otherwise, I recommend you to go through this guide, a "cannot find the printer ' display the error to the HP ENVY 5640 and DESIRE 5660 e - all - in - one printer series."

  • ENVY 17 t-k000 CTO: can I install an mSATA ssd in my HP ENVY 17 t-k000 CTO Notebook PC?

    Can I install an mSATA ssd in my PC HP ENVY 17 t-k000 CTO Notebook? Added a SDS SATA 250 GB and 8 GB memory chip today but don't can find any way to add also a 250 GB mSATA SDS. I looked on the side in front and back of the system board.

    I would return the mSATA EVO 840 Samsung SSD, I bought from Newegg?

    The repair is no help whatsoever. It is said a WSSD m2 is supported 'model', but there is no picture of it in the manual or the indication when it is on the models 'select '. Those who have it use a version of m2 (connector three blades 2 not) so your Evo 840 would not work even if you had one of the models 'select '. I think that on those who have it that the port m2 is located on the motherboard so if you don't see it you are not among the selection.

  • 750 - 177C envy: addition of Samsung SSD for envy 750-177C

    I just bought a HP Envy 750-177c. I have it operational and it works very well. I had installed a Samsung 850 EVO SSD in my old computer and now want to add to it. I have an external cloning device that I can plug it into the computer and launch the software from Samsung to clone the HD HP. Once this is done, I will be able to add the SSD to the drive Bay and make the boot drive. I did all these steps with my old computer, so I think that it will be substantially the same with the RESUME. I wonder if there is any change in the BIOS, that I should do to get the best performance from the drive. I also heard AHCI. Is selectable via the BIOS with Windows 10, or do I have to make some changes by Reg Edit? I need to download a driver AHCI? Is this useful?

    Thanks for the tips.

    Robb

    Hi @RobbL!

    When it comes to SSD, I suggest you to activate the AHCI because it often improves performance when it comes to SSDS (and not only - if you are running an SSD and a HARD disk HARD drive will get some push), and it offers a few additional features like connection hot records.

    You can activate it by following these steps:

    * Let the connected existing boot drive.
    * Go to MSCONFIG and set the PC to boot in safe mode.
    * Power cycle your PC all the way to the top in safe mode then power down in safe mode.
    * Turn on and boot into the BIOS and enable the AHCI and disable secure boot. Save the changes.
    * Restart your PC. If OK at this stage then return to MSCONFIG and uncheck start safe mode and save the changes.
    * Turn on your PC and if OK then power off.
    * Connect the new SSD and power upward.
    * Use the cloning software to clone the old disk on the new SSD.
    * Switch off the PC. Disconnect the old drive and plug the new SSD in this SATA port.
    * Lights up and you should be good to go.

    Regarding the drivers, you can take a look at this article from HP on the SSD:

  • Laptop of HP ENVY 15 TS: problems installing the audio driver

    Hi all

    My product is the HP ENVY 15 TS laptop.

    Product number: E7Z34UA #ABA

    OS: 8.1 64-bit Windows

    A few days ago, I opened my laptop to find that there is no sound coming from the speakers at all. I was completely baffled because the audio was working perfectly fine before, even after the upgrade to Windows 8.1. I tried several solutions posted on other forums, such as install other drivers and uninstall the IDT High Definition Audio Driver and then scan for hardware changes. Now, however, when you try to update the driver IDT, it says that a peripheral attatched to the system does not work. What should I do?

    I've provided screenshots of things that appear when trying to solve this problem.

    Hello skyeisthelimit. I understand there is no sound emitted by the mobile phone. According to the description, I think that the question is focused on software. However, I won't remove the defective hardware of my mind. You have attempted a few troubleshooting, which is excellent. I'll provide some troubleshooting facilities (some steps you already completed). Please follow troubleshooting all in order, I suggest:

    First of all, there are some tutorial of Microsoft Assistant that solves the problems of sound in Windows 8.1. Please follow the wizard until it is finished. You can locate this wizard here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-CA/windows/no-sound-help#no-sound=windows-8 & v1h = win8tab1 & v2h = win7tab1 & v3h = winvistatab1 & v4h = winxptab1

    Then, follow the troubleshooting, indicate in this document from HP: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03257712

    Finally, you will be asked to reinstall the updated drivers. Please install it: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-124012-1 & cc = us & dlc = in & lc = on & os = 4158 & product = 5450018 & sw_lang =

    Assuming that the problem is not resolved, the next step is to refresh of Windows 8. This will force the computer to return to Windows 8. It will also clean the computer, to a certain extent (it is not as powerful as a recovery). For more information about how to update Windows, please see this document from Microsoft: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-CA/windows-8/restore-refresh-reset-pc

    If the operating system update does not resolve the problem, reinstall the operating system is the next step. Make sure that you back up all your data beforehand.

    For more information on how to effectively back up your computer, please this document of reference: http://h10010.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us & lc = on & dlc = in & docname = c03270359

  • Want to 15 t k000 CTO (Energy Star): HP Envy 15t k000 CTO support m2280 ngff SSD?

    I just bought a laptop K000 CTO Envy 15 t and want to ADD an SSD as drive system. At the same time, I want to keep the original HARD disk in its place as a storage for photos and videos. I found a manual on hp.com and K000 model told a m2280 slot.

    So I wonder if I could buy a m2280 SSD and install the operating system in it while keeping the HARD drive and the optical drive.

    Well I just disassembled the system board and peeked inside. Now, I can confirm that the Envy 15 t k000 CTO model does not have a SSD m2280 slot although the manual says it have. In fact, there is space for the slot behind the motherboard and the size should be m2280. But the fact is that there is no such accommodation. Too bad.

    If you want to add an SSD to the laptop, you will need to replace by a SATA III SSD HARD drive.  The HARD drive can replace the optical drive, if you want to keep the HARD disk as the storage.

    Thank you for your continued support.

    concerning

    Here is the Manual:

    Repair manuals

    See p. 40-42. There are two hard drive bays. You have a 1 TB drive 5400 RPM in one and the other is empty.

    All you need to do is get an SSD. I recommend the Samsung Evo 850:

    You need this second adapter bay:

    http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?Main_Page=product_info&cPath=2_5&products_id=577

    Move the old primary hard disk in the second Bay and the SSD in the main Bay. This will start since the SSD drive. You can make a Windows recovery disk and use it to install Windows on the SSD. Post back if this is not clear.

  • ENVY 5530: Impossible to install the HP drivers: error 1722

    Hello

    I have a major problem with the HP Envy 5530. At first it just prints nothing but scanning was very good. Then one day I got I decided to fix it. I ran a few fixers print spooler and it looks like they just remove a bunch of files. Then I went and deleted the printer drivers in system32. Now when I want to install the HP x 64 base drivers, it gives me an error:

    Setup error

    Error 1722: Cannot add the Port Discovery HP Monitor (HP ENVY 5530 series) port monitor.

    I use 10 64-bit Windows.

    I want my printer to work again. I would like to avoid having to wipe my os.

    Weird things are also underway in the services menu. The "PrintNotify" service is offline with error code 2 and print spooler is running, but when I go to WordPad and try to print it says "Do you want to install a printer now?" and then I click Yes, "Windows can't open Add Printer" the local print spooler service is not running. Please restart the spooler or restart the machine "."

    I want real solutions, as I have tried several of those mentioned in article 'driver install errors' which does not even cover error code 1722.

    This problem has been resolved. I inserted the disc of Windows 10 and did an upgrade on site to keep all applications and settings, but reinstall windows. This has removed all the corrupted windows files and now I'm at square one (I'll create another problem for her, since it is not really related).

  • Desktop HP Envy h8 - 1420t CTO: problem Samsung SSD causing with upgrading 8.0 to 8.1 Windows

    I can't upgrade my OEM installed Windows 8.0 to 8.1 HP desktop computer.  First, I tried the upgrade when 8.1 was deployed for the first.  It seemed to level OK, but after a reboot I found myself with a black screen... no error message, just a black screen.

    I retried it this morning, but this time it failed with DPC_Watchdog_Exception, then Machine_Check_Exception.  After looking in several forums, I'm "guess" it is maybe disk 0, which is a Samsung 830 Series SSD (model: MZ7PC256 / 0:1, s/n: S0U3NSAC705912 p/n: MZ7PC256HAFU - 000: 1) which has been installed and configured by HP, when I ordered this computer from office in 2012.

    Magician of Samsung software does not recognize this SDS supported a product, but they identify it as a Samsung MZ7PC256HAFU - 000: 1, with Firmware version CXM05H1Q.  I thought I'd see if a firmware update is available, but there is no information about this SSD on the Samsung support site. In addition, HP doesn't offer not just any which firmware for this SSD, not even the original firmware.  What I saw on the internet says that it is a custom SSD OEM which is not taken in charge by Samsung.

    I'm not desperate to upgrade to Win8.1, but I would like to know exactly why the canned upgrade fails.  I have an other available SSD (a Samsung 850 Pro, model: MZ-7KE256BW) that I considered to use to replace the current drive 0, but I hate swapping parts without knowing that this is really the problem.

    I am open to advice. The info on my current system follows. Furthermore, I note that there is no conflict of devices or outdate drivers.

    Hello

    Don't forget that the W8 is fully updated before upgrading to W8.1. I would suggest to run for a while after the W8.1 update and see if your PC is stable.  If so, then manually a system restore point and then continue the Windows Update process. If your PC is stable after that Windows updates have been applied then manually take another system restore point and proceed to apply the HP recommended software updates for the W8.1 that are posted for your PC.

    Don't listen to this guy. It is a straight copy and paste and that's all. SSDS is supported by anything that uses the SATA interface.

  • Upgrading an Envy 15-j171nr with 8GB and 24GB SSD 16 GB cache

    I'm a 15-j171nr with 8GB and 24 GB SSD cache. Whe I have it set to purchase the Configurator said the cache of 24GO was incompatible with more than 8 GB of RAM.  'Maintenance and Service of Guide' (p/n 733845-001) said the same thing on page 5:

    «mSATA SSD»

    Support for mSATA 24 GB SSD (not available on the computer equipped models with 16834 or 12288 MB of system memory or a 256 GB or 512 GB SSD)"

    My questions are:

    -How are they incompatible?

    -How do you upgrade a 8 GB to 16 GB model during the withdrawal of the mSATA 24GO card?

    The additional DIMM module is physically incompatible with the mSATA map, they install in remote locations. I guess it could be a thermal or issue of power but neither part draws a lot of power or generates a lot of heat. This is * not * a problem with software compatibility. How will I know? Because I advanced and installed the extra 8 GB DIMMS and the laptop continues to operate correctly, but now has 16 GB or RAM.

    The question about the upgrade is because when you use the card as a cache mSATA configuring map mSATA and the mechanical drive as a RAID array. I guess when you remove the mSATA card you must rebuild the image of the operating system on the drive of 2.5 inches.

    -Craig

    Some people report if they switch to 16 gigs, they start to become quick start Intel and Intel Rapid Storage errors. If you're not, then you do not experience incompatibility. I think that HP will not sell 16 concerts with the WSSD of 24 concert because if you are using Intel Rapid Start the MSSD has contain the entire contents of the RAM and all the other files that have been stored there for hibernation. 24 concerts can be a little tight. Map of the WSSD is not accessible from the service Bay. It is hidden on the motherboard. You can actually slow down the main drive of the WSSD through the Intel Rapid Storage console. If you have installed 16 gigs and are having no problem just keep using the laptop and count you lucky. If you need assistance more let us know. I have a very similar model: the Envy 17-j029nr and played well with all the features of hard drive so I feel pretty good with her speed. HP it ready for me to facilitate a helping hand here on the Forum.
