  Kam124,

  I have found some additional reading for you - on the "Equipment and upgrade" section of this forum.

  In the "Discussion forums" (upper left corner), select "Notebook Hardware Upgrade issues and.

  Next - search once you're in the hardware section - 'HP 17 n' which will take you to tread:

  Re: HP Envy 17 n-000, also known as the M8W99AV_1

  This discussion (with photos), this is what you are needing to know the upgrade of your system - the only difference is, you already have the hard-drive-kit (hardware) they discuss.  So you will not need to be overly concerned about adding 2nd HARD drive - but it is interesting to read.

  The photos included - must be exactly what your system will look-very neat - and easy to upgrade.

  ATTENTION: There is a link to youtube (on page 5) about how to add a 2nd HDD to an Envy 17 - this does NOT apply to your odel - is a portable 17 alumni.

  Some centers of discussion on the SSD m2 - I have not looked at all this discussion - but I'm sure it will be interesting.

  Hope this helps,

  Hello

  While you can certainly add another HARD drive in the Bay of secondary drive (you must also support and the connection cable) you can't boot from it - only in the Bay of primary HARD drive is bootable.

• Replace HDD SSD Touchsmart HP Envy 15-j151nr advice needed

  I will replace the 1 TB HARD disk provided with this computer using Samsung 840 256 GB HARD drive. I looked through these forums and elsewhere and am still confused with the best procedure to make sure a bootable stick with installed Windows 8.1.

  I have a scanner I'll make a copy of the recovery by using the PC software disc is supplied by HP. I also ordered disk backup of OEM windows 8.1 for the installation of the operating system if necessary.

  The SSD will have the USB adapter to prepare with the latest firmware updates and if necessary formatting before installation.

  I got the product key MS using 3rd party software from the bios if necessary

  My question is for the installation of the new SSD more is it recommended to use the HP recovery disk I have done and start on the optical drive for installation as described in the manual of HP or use Microsoft's OEM disk I will receive? I understand there are a 4 partitions on the original disc with one of them the key to unlock the product key installed in the bios. I'm willing to use a 3rd party software to copy files and partitions, but prefers not to do so.

  Any input on this is appreciated

  Jeff

  The HP recovery disk will not work. Only, it can be used on a disk that is at least as large as the original, which is causing many problems for people who want to install the SSD drives. The OEM disc works perfectly. If the laptop comes with Windows 8.1 then the key Code is actually printed in the BIOS and the installation disk will automatically find it. If the laptop comes with Windows 8 and you ugraded to 8.1 at any given time, it's actually a little more complex. In this case the only simple thing to do is to get a drive OEM Windows 8. The key in the BIOS Code is only for the original operating system. Yes, assuming you have the right OEM disk just boot from it and follow the prompts to install Windows 8 or 8.1. You will be pleasantly surprised, how fast it goes with an SSD. The original drive will have all drivers and apps installed at the factory, and programs in C:\swsetup folder so it is a good idea to have a way to get out of the original 1 TB drive, and you can install them on the new drive once the operating system is loaded.

• Envy 17 t-j100: ENVY 17 t-j100 games for 5-10 seconds all lag a few minutes/Bios Update issues

  I just bought this laptop rarely used a few days ago.  He had a clean recovery of Windows when I picked it up and I spent a few days in day and to learn to play well together (Leap movement, fingerprint sensor, etc.)  I've updated absolutely everything I could to the latest drivers and finally sat down to play games.

  Here's where my problems began.  I installed Skyrim and Portal 1.  Initially, I put the properties graphic high heat, since that is the recommended setting and tried to play.  The game started quickly and the graphics are superb.  I played for about 10 minutes and the video started trolling and I could hear the shift in the audio as well.  I stop, rebooted and the same thing.  I put the graphic quality for low on both games and still the same problem.

  I read that it is often caused by overheating, so I checked the cooling fans and vents and both are clean.  I also confirmed that all the fans are working.  I also read that this can be resolved by updating the bios.  I tried several times via HP Support Assistant and have so far failed.  It downloads, installs, flashes, restart, picking them up at the old version.  Very frustrating.

  I bought this camera as a desktop replacement that I am hoping to use for the moderate game.  I really hope someone can help me.

  I'm running it on current alternative, using the NVIDIA card exclusively and have every setting I can find High Performance value.

  Nope.  Off CoolSense, crank all the settings to ultra, even downloaded the HD texture pack and it works very well.  CoolSense was my problem.  I don't usually use it on a flat surface and I guess CoolSense wobbly.  HWMonitor to verify time and there was a NET improvement of cooling without CoolSense.  Thanks for your time, but this laptop is now shouting through games at high resolution.

• HP Envy 750-197c Desktop: you can add a SSD internal flash disk to the envy of HP 750-197c Desktop

  You can add an internal SSD to the envy of HP 750 - 197c Desktop that has a 2 TB drive installed?

  DMSIceman, welcome to the forum.

  Yes, you can move the HARD disk and install an SSD.  You will need to buy at least a 128 GB SSD.  Here is the data sheet for the computer.

  The best way to install an SSD is to leave the current HARD drive as it came from the factory.  Connect the SSD drive to another SATA port on the motherboard.  Install the software of Migration data provided by the SSD manufacturer on the HARD drive.  Once installed, open it and follow the instructions carefully.  You choose the SSD as a target.  After the data is transferred from the HDD to the SSD, you can disconnect the HARD drive and start the computer.  It should start on the SSD.  Then, you can disconnect the SSD to the first SATA connector and move to another Bay HARD drive and connect it to another SATA port on the motherboard.  You can use it for storage.

  I like the SSD Samsung EVO.  Samsung offers its data Migration software to clone HARD drive.  In addition, they provide their software Wizard to optimize the performance of the SSD.  You can find all the software at the bottom of the page in the link I provided for the EVO.  The Samsung SSD were good about starting in HP computers without changing the BIOS settings.  You will need to buy an adapter to allow the reader to 2.5 "to fit into a 3.5 Bay".

• ENVY dv7-7390el: problem with installation of a 2nd disk (SSD)

  Hello everyone.

  I want to put a 2nd hard drive in my laptop (dv7-7390el ENVY). It's a Samsung SSD (model: 850 PRO - 512 GB of RAM).

  However, even if I did first initialization with USB cable because it is new, when I link the new component using its cable to the motherboard port 2nd HARD drive and that I turn on the laptop it does not detect anything.

  In any case, I also tried to put a different device, another HARD disk, but the problem is the same, it is nowhere.

  How can I do to find it and then use it? Could someone help me?

  Concerning

  OK, I had a slightly newer model that is very similar, the series of 17 t - j000 want and also got a second basket of newmodeus.com. It finally worked but the anchor of the water was very small and it took 2 or 3 tries to get the systΦme can recognize the second hard drive. You must host the cable 'so '. If you do not have it HP or newmodeus.com I'd be skeptical on the cable.

• 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.

• HP Envy CL 4-1043 - after restoring backup USB 32 GB SSD unused image

  Product name: HP Envy CL 4-1043 Ultrabook.

  Product number: B5T09UA #ABA

  Installed OS: Windows 7 Home Pemium 64-bit installed.

  History of the issues:

  1 32 GB SSD failed after 3 months. Sent to the HP service center to get it replaced.

  2 HP replaced my 500 GB HDD too. I have a set of previously created on my USB recovery image.

  3 restored my Ultrabook OS & Software mode factory default using my USB recovery image.

  4. the Ultrabook was recovered in factory default mode, that is to say all OS and software factory is now in the "C:" partition

  5 everything seems to work fine, except that my 32 GB SSD now appears as "D:" without files inside the drive.

  Now the complaint:

  1. the 32 GB SSD was initially supposed to act as a cache device, allowing to the "moment - we ', caching bed and written to speed up my HARD drive performance. It was not visible to the user before.

  2. now, the 32 GB appears as a normal drive "D:". There seems to be no activity of caching at all.

  3. performance of the disk operations is now much slower than before.

  4. power of loan is now 1 minute 15 seconds. (It has been dry 9 only)

  I suspect that the caching software does not work after the recovery of the image. How can I reactivate the feature caching using the SSD of 32 GB?

  It turns out that when I retrieve the ultrabook by using the backup image stored on the USB drive, the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver is disabled by default. When the HP service centre replaced the SSD, they reformatted to an NTFS partition. So with disabled fast pilot Intel Storage Technology, the DSS appeared to be another drive.

  I solved the problem by reactivating the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver manually. The SSD data has been deleted and hidden from view. Everything is working as it was originally intended to be now.

• HP Envy j-126tx: How can I add an mSata SSD while maintaining my original windows

  Hi, I want to replace my hard drive with an SSD, but I don't want to lose my original windows and the recovery partition. How can I do so? And another thing I am doing is adding an mSata so that I'll have my hard drives SSD available for use. In this case, how can I transfer my OS to SSD partition?

  Hello:

  Data sheet: http://support.hp.com/in-en/product/HP-ENVY-15-Notebook-PC-series/5401187/model/6732613/document/c04031360/

  First, create USB recovery.
  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03481733

  Buy SSD with at least the same capacity (750 GB) from the HARD disk for recovery media to work.

  Use recovery media already created to restore factory OS on the SSD after replacement.

  Manual - page 45,46 for the replacement procedure:
  http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c04091768

  Transfer OS to mSATA to make boot drive is a bit complicated and not recommended by HP as the mSATA acts as a cache on the HDD in consumer laptops. Nevertheless, it is a useful sticky in this forum showing some members do with success. You can check:

  You can certainly replace the HDD with SATA SSD. See the manual.

• HP Envy 14 A9P67UA spectrum #ABA: Add (or replace) mSATA SSD to the HP Envy 14 spectrum w/windows 10... possible? Worth the risk?

  Hi all!

  So, I read in this forum on this subject and have seen mixed results.  I bought this computer a few years ago, generally pretty happy with it but I ran out of space and the battery is dying.  I am trying to decide whether to revise it or buy new.   That's what I want to do:

  Add 2nd mSATA SSD in the second slot.  I saw a post like this HD is compatible but that's a post.  Around, I've read that others have had problems by adding a second SSD.  Some people can not access, some people, it shows only a 128 GB extra, in fact, some have a BSOD.   The post I saw replaced the original disc to help one of them and adding a second drive so the two HDs were of the same brand.  Is it a better idea?  Also, all the posts I've seen on this topic were two years old and dealt with Windows 7.  Windows 10 it will make it harder to do?

  http://www.Amazon.com/Samsung-850-mSATA-2-inch-MZ-M5E1T0BW/DP/B00TGIVRYU?ie=UTF8&PSC=1&redirect=true...

  If not I can try and use the same car with the model came in the second slot to help in possible compatibility issues, but I would be limited to a 128 GB extra (or possibly 256?).

  I have also upgraded the memory of 8 GB and add a new battery.

  Reflections on what is successful? I wouldn't waste money on these parts if this is going to work.  Thank you!
