• Upgrade of an ENVY TouchSmart 17-j005ea

  I plan to replace my Dell with what would be my first HP laptop (a 17-j005ea ENVY TouchSmart), but I'm not sure if I would be able to upgrade.

  I'd be looking to replace one of the hard drives with a SDD and replace the DVD drive with Blu - ray burner, but I heard that the upgrade can be a problem with some HP laptops.

  These upgrades would be not possible for a person with basic experience of the PC?  (I create my own desktops and have upgraded discs and memory on Dell laptops without difficulty.)

  Depends on how you define the problem. Here's an announced a swap and go for replacement:

  Here is the Service Manual:

• Trying to find advanced settings of the BIOS on my envy Touchsmart Ultrabook 4

  I'm trying to locate my envy Touchsmart Ultrabook 4 power management settings.   I am running the Insyde BIOS verision F.23.  When I open the BIOS to F10 (I also tried F10 + A with no result) before starting the only options are to hand, security, System Config. in and out.  Is anyway to get the advanced settings in the BIOS?  Thank you.

  Woodyzen3000,

  I understand that you are looking for the power management option in the bios.

  After doing some checking this bios has no option for the management of food as some old versions of some time got back on our old systems. I was actually able to get their hands on a similar Ultrabook built with the same version of the bios and the options are no longer present.

  It is possible that perhaps a next version will be the available option. In order to keep an eye on this link because the future updates to the bios would be here. You simply enter the product number, and then select your operating system.

  If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask.

  Thank you

• ENVY TouchSmart m7-j120dx: need to upgrade tips - ENVY TouchSmart m7-j120dx

  I have the mobile suite:

  ENVY of HP TouchSmart m7-j120dx Notebook PC

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-envy-TouchSmart-M7-J100-notebook-PC-series/540117...

  I want to spend as a result of:
  500 GB SSD
  16 GB OF RAM

  From the following link, I discovered that the RAM should be SO-DIMM DDR3L-1600 with 1.35 volts
  I also know, I need this cable and caddy:
  http://www.Amazon.com/HDD-cable-Caddy-envy-J000/DP/B00GIGJYBG

  Now my questions,

  1. I currently have two 4 GB of RAM at 800 MHZ. If I buy a 8 GB 1600 mhz and use with one of the 4 GB of RAM I have, it's going to work?

  2. What is the maximum memory supported by my laptop? The first link, it seems to me 16 GB max.

  3. I need too amazon links for compatible RAM for my laptop for the 8 GB and 16 GB.

  4 I need also links amazon to compatible SSD drives. I'm looking for 500 GB.

  Thank you
  Jay

  Hello

  The following manual will answer most of your questions:

  http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c04091762.PDF

  1. not all the RAM sticks are the same. My suggestion to use Crucial to get the right result:

  http://www.crucial.com/USA/en/memory-info

  2 Max is 16 GB as mentioned on page 2 of the manual,

  3. as #1 above.

  4. all standard SSD can do, you can see as Crucial to the right, and you can buy on Amazon after obtaining the right of Crucial.

  Finally, you need ONLY the caddy if your goal is to install 500GB SSD on the second span.

  Kind regards.

• Windows 8 or 8.1 update? HP ENVY TouchSmart all-in - One desktop PC 23-d260qd

  I just bought the HP ENVY TouchSmart all-in-One desktop PC 23-d260qd and it happens today. I wonder if it is better to upgrade to Windows 8.1 instead of windows 8. It seems that several people had problems with the upgrade. I just got my computer today and have yet to open the box, but I wanted to know what OS is better and how I would go about updating Windows 8.1 must be optimal. My computer specs are below:

  • 64-bit Windows 8
  • • 3rd generation Intel® Core™ i7 - 3770S processor [3.1 GHz, 8 MB of shared cache]
  • • 1 GB NVIDIA GeForce GT610M [DX 11, 3. 0a MXM]
  • • 12GB DDR3 1600 MHz SODIMM [DIMM 2]
  • • 2 TB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive
  • • Microsoft Office Trial

  Thanks in advance for your suggestions and help!

  Create a recovery disk set before even considering the upgrade.

  If you are not yet accustomed to Windows 8, then give yourself a little time to get familiar with before committing to an upgrade to Windows 8.1.

  I prefer the upgrade of Windows 8.1, in particular the return of the Start button, it is not the same as the Start button was before Windows 8.

  Important factors for Windows 8.1 are available on the web support download portal for your PC.

• Incomplete recovery of 17 HP envy touchsmart

  I have a laptop HP Envy Touchsmart product model E1P14AV 17 t-j100 number 17.

  I'm trying to restore to the factory via a USB port, but get incomplete restoration. I tried all the methods of the HP recovery method and all three gave the same answer. It runs through everything and reload the software but gives this answer. If I click on try again it tells me to insert the recovery media.

  Try changing the date in the BIOS to 01/01/2012. Save & Exit. Boot from recovery and to run the process-, but on the first reboot, it initiates enter the BIOS to ensure the update is still. If so let recovery resume - if not change again, then restart.

• Help! Disable the touch screen on Envy Touchsmart Ultrabook 4

  Hi, I have a problem, try to disable the touch screen of the Envy Touchsmart Ultrabook 4 function in Windows 8... I was looking for an answer on how to do it, but I did not find anything. I tried the method of the control panel > hardware and sound > pen and touch and then disable the option "use your finger as input device", but this option is not there for me! If anyone knows how to do this, I would be very grateful.

  Hello

  I have another type of TouchSmart, but this may work for you:

  1. Press Windows + X logo.
  2. Select Device Manager from the list.
  3. Click on the small arrow next to Interface devices to expand the list.
  4. Click the touchscreen driver (in my case, Voltron NextWindow touch screen).
  5. Right click and select disable from the list.
  6. Click Yes in the dialog box that asks you if you are sure you want to disable the touch screen driver.

  When you want your touchscreen to work again, follow the above procedure, EXCEPT when right-clicking on the touch screen driver, select enable.

• Envy Touchsmart Ultrabook - boot from Usb Flash or optical drive

  I just this envy Touchsmart Ultrabook (14 inches) with 8 win and it works very well, but one thing that I can't make it work is to be able to boot from a USB stick or a cd usb player.  This system doesn't have a built-in optical drive.

  I changed the configuration Bios Boot UEFI for Legacy and also re arranged the boot order so the USB drives are before the internal hard drive.  I also tried to change setting USB 3 auto... still not able to boot from a usb device.

  Both the usb flash drive and cd drive to boot on my HP desktop and I recently tried the usb flash drive on a new laptop Lenovo comes with Win 8 and it worked.

  I need to do so that I could run my backup - Acronis True Image software.

  Any suggestions on what then try?  Thank you.

  Yours is a laptop very different mine - so this may not apply... but you can try what I posted here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Notebook-PC-Questions/bios/m-p/2260991

• ENVY TouchSmart 17 t-j100 Quad Edition - possible updates to level?

  17 t-j100 Quad Edition ENVY TouchSmart

  The CPU is not welded in place, but you will find that there is not much possible improvement. It is a processor i7 to 4th gen and even if you could get a one tick or 2 more quick, that the price would be astronomical, not to mention you would void the warranty. Not worth it.

  No GPU upgrade is possible. The video is on a chip welded to the card.

  Yes, the laptop has a second hard drive Bay and you can get an SSD (ordinary full size) to put in the first Bay to use as the startup disk. This will speed up there a lot such that you will not want to upgrade the CPU more.

• Envy Touchsmart 15-J144na: HP Envy material of hard drive Kit

  Hi all

  So I am desperately looking for a replacement hard drive cable for my laptop. (Envy Touchsmart 15-J144na)

  HP part number is 718432-001. (Directly from repair HPs)

  I tried the company I used to use FAE Supply Chain and after taking the money, they said two weeks later that they do not have, nor can they get it, for having issued a refund!

  I am now hunting around but with very little success.

  I only really need the cable, but fortunately buy any combination of products and parts to get to the bit, I want!

  I'm self-employed, so that each day that passes that I lose money.

  If anyone knows of any good company in the United Kingdom (or even in the world, im not picky!) would be great get your suggestions.

  (Prefer original HP parts, but I can't afford to be more fussy!)

  PS I tried all the companies on the site Web of HPs for the part and none of them have or even know what part im speaking of! (With the exception of Europarts EET I'm waiting for)

  Thank you

  Hello

  There are two options available.

  1. You can order a set of replacement of the recovery media using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.

  Order HP recovery disks.

  1. Download the file to Image of Windows 8 on the following link - Note that this Image file is subject to a ceiling of download, you may need to try over a period of a few hours before the download starts correctly.

  https://docs.Google.com/file/d/0B0W9PBigPy94aVJWSndyTFNFMzg/edit?PLI=1

  If you need a utility to create a flashdrive bootable for this Image, try the free app below.

  The product key for Windows 8 is encrypted in your bios chip and read automatically during installation.

  Software extra and you may need drivers are by entering your full model number or Nr here.

• HP Envy Touchsmart E0K45UAR: Envy of HP Touchsmart E0K45UAR USB Controller Driver

  Hello

  Computer details:

  HP Envy Touchsmart E0K45UAR

  8.1 Windows Professional x 64

  I have a USB controller, who decided to uninstall itself this morning and I'm unable to get it working again. This was noted during the user's usb keyboard stops working, but the keyboard and the standard touchpad work very well. I can't get any other USB periphials to work on this computer.

  The Windows Device Manager shows "other devices / Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller" with a yellow exclamation point icon.

  Hardware ID:

  PCI\VEN_8086 & DEV_9C31 & SUBSYS_190E103C & REV_04

  PCI\VEN_8086 & DEV_9C31 & CC_0C0330
  PCI\VEN_8086 & DEV_9C31 & CC_0C03

  I tried to remove the controller device manager USB, then picking up Windows to automatically reinstall USB controller drivers, it did not help.

  Logs of events coming from the activities of this morning show the following:

  I'm sure that there is a problem with the drivers, but I can't find the USB drivers on the HP support page for this model of computer downloads.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  So I just ended up doing a restore system since a couple of days and I have my USB controller online.

  No idea of what was actually wrong with it.
