G6 2255 ev Pavilion: ssd

Hello
I would like to know what kind of ssd, adapts to my laptop.
I want to upgrate from my laptop and put an ssd instead of dvd.
So what exactly should I look for?
also, is it better to put a ssd, or change my processor?
I have the amd a6 - 4400 m with 8 GB of ram.
is it better to put the amd a10 - 4600 m, (I see that it's the best compatible processor).
Thank you

How to upgrade and what it takes to upgrade depends on what you want to do with your computer. As previously reported by @Blitzgaming, the SSD will best improve the overall computing experience. He will start faster and programs open faster; nothing better than an SSD. Don't resist the SSD. You need a width of 2.5-inch SATA SSD. SATA 2 or 3 makes no difference. You would find a SATA 2 on the market now, just so buy something current and are looking for a good sale. The SSD will operate at optimal speed may allow the motherboard (I'm sure that yours is SATA 3 also) and even on a SATA 2 system, a 3 SATA SSD will work super fast.

https://www.Amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra-2-5-inch-height-SDSSDHII-240G-G25/DP/B00M8ABEIM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8 & qid = 1466338579 & SR = 8-2 & Keywords = 240 + GIG + SSD

If you can afford it, get at least a gig of 480 or 500 GB SSD, but you can get with a concert of 240. The Sandisk above is a good but then again, if you can afford it, get a Samsung 850 Evo.

Also good as a SSD is, it won't do anything really for the games. Your laptop can be upgraded to the processor, A10 - 4600M in this case is called an APU. The processor chip is also the video card and an upgrade of your A6 to A10 would also mean improved video performance, HD 7520 to 7660. And AMD processors differently than Intels are not terrible expensive.

https://www.Amazon.com/AMD-A10-4600M-quad-core-2-3GHz-AM4600DEC44HJ/DP/B00D6MZ5P4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8 & qid = 1466338787 & SR = 8-1 & Keywords = A10 - 4600M

You will yet have a 'game', but you will do a bit more fluid gaming experience and better frame rates. I do not recommend upgrades to the processor in general except on the models of the series AMD since you also update the video at the same time.

Always, kind of stop and think about $ 100 or $ 150 for one SSD and $65 for a processor and wonder if that money is better applied to a new laptop? Your call.

  • G6 2255 ev Pavilion: drivers for windows 10

    Hello
    I recently bought an SSD.
    so, I want to put windows from the start and I need all the RIGHT drivers for my laptop.
    I don't want to put bad drivers and will need to unistall them later.
    So I need the drivers for my laptop, 10 64-bit windows.
    could you tell me the exact drivers I need?
    the basic only... to work correctly!
    Thank you for your time.
    also, I would like to know the thickness of my dvd player, so I can buy a shopping cart of DVDs to my hard drive.
    Thank you once again!

    HP only provides drivers Windows 8 and 8.1 of Windows for your model. However, I have an older G6 Pavilion provided with Windows 7 installed, and I did it with success a clean install of Windows 10 on it. Since your computer was made for Windows 8, I assume that the upgrade process would be smoother for you.

    A little tip: I recommend that you have a wired Internet access available to your computer during the installation process so that Windows can download the drivers for your computer. I tried without a connected network cable, and I found myself with no Internet capacity after installation. I had to do another clean installation with a connected network cable, and this time the installer found all the correct drivers: map Wi - Fi button, graphic, touchpad, webcam, reader of cards, all. I didn't have to install anything manually.

    I can't advise you on the caddy HARD drive for your DVD burner, but I've seen messages on the subject in these discussion forums. I did replace my HARD original with an SSD drive.

    You can look at my profile and read my other posts for questions, I met with my BIOS. I hope that you will not face this problem because your machine is more recent.

    Good luck!

  • Pavilion 15-bc018nl: upgrade SSD m2 in Pavilion 15-bc018nl

    Hi, recently I bought a Pavilion 15-bc018nl (X7H34EA #ABZ).
    I want to upgrade with a secondary hard drive using the port m2 (empty), but I was unable to find the right type of device (Sata or Pcie) m2.

    According to the "HP Pavilion Notebook PC - Maintenance and Service of Guide", these are the possible configurations:

    but I have no idea what kind of M.2 ssd should I buy...
    M.2 internal SATA port or the PCIe is?
    I also heard that in some cases the port of m2 is not enabled.

    So my question is: How can I know if the port of m2 is activated and M.2 SSD is compatible with it?

    Thank you much for the help!

    I finally got an answer from HP support, my port of m2 is successfully activated and works very well. It is sata and pcie compatible.

  • Pavilion 15-r002tu: updated hp 15-r002tu ssd

    I intend to insert an SSD in my HP Pavilion laptop 15-r002tu. I want to know whether or not my laptop supports the SSD and what kind of SSD should I insert. Also, my laptop allows to have two hard drives, a HARD drive and SSD?

    Mobile: hp 15-r002tu

    OS:  Windows 8.1 Pro

    HARD disk capacity: 500 GB

    See p. 59 of the Service Manual here:

    Repair manuals

    There is only a single Bay for a SATA 2.5 inch hard disk, which can be replaced by a 2.5 inch SATA SSD, I recommend a Samsung 850 model Evo you can get on amazon.com and other sources.

    The replacement operation is not really easy. You must remove the top cover and a few screws. Post back if you need more help with migration of software, etc.. If you feel that you could do without the DVD player, you can get a basket that allows to put a hard drive instead of the DVD player, but should discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this: I'm not a big fan but a lot of people do and it is not expensive or difficult. You don't want to put a SSD in such a device.

    Let us know if there are more questions.

    I have not found a clear answer on this forum

    Could you support me or send another proposal of SSD m2

    Not just type SATA M.2 mSSDs:

    Repair manuals

    The speed of reading and writing on a SATA m2 will be right about 500 Mbps. about the same as a 2.5 inch SATA SSD.

    You should be aware that many users are problems to get the system to recognize a drive m2 on laptops that don't come with a m2 of factory. HP is not give much explanation, but it seems that the m2 slot can be disabled in the BIOS:

  • HP Pavilion Gaming 15 - ak155nm: problem with detection m.2 SSD

    Hello

    I built a computer with M.2 Intel SSD 256 GB 600p and for some reason it does not detect the SSD m2. I have HP Pavilion 15 - ak155nm portable Gaming. Please help.

    Thank you

    Toni

    Yes.

    The Samsung 850 Pro is compatible with the motherboard of your laptop and the BIOS.

    A 256 GB SSD would be a better choice if you can afford it. You can install the operating system of the laptop to it.

    The ability of a DSS must be 160 GB or more to allow using the recovery USB key that you need to have created now.

  • Pavilion dv6 - 1350us: dv6 1350us 240 GB SSD not recognized by BIOS ver F.41

    Hi all

    I want to replace the stock 340 GB hard drive SATA with a 240GB SSD but the BIOS does not detect the SSD drive. Here are the specs:

    HP Pavilion Entertainment Notebook - dv6-1350us (Intel - Core 2 Duo)

    BIOS - Hewlett-Packard F.41, 12/11/2009

    SSD - Mushkin Chronos Deluxe 240GB Model # MKNSSDCR240GB-DX

    This laptop is currently in operation with no problems. It has been upgraded to Windows Pro 10 and all the latest updates installed - it's just very slooowly. The SSD, I try to use is checked 100% working. It detects and is accessible by other computers and works very well in a USB/SATA attached to this laptop docking bay. The SSD has been deleted, including the protected EFI & system partitions - IOW, it's completely empty - without walls.

    I am capable of (old) drive image hard work and save it on an external USB drive. The image size is 110 GB and includes data, system and recovery partitions, so it fits on the SSD. When I install the SSD in the laptop there is no option to boot from it so I guess that it is not properly detected in the BIOS. Nevertheless, with the SSD installed, I can boot from a Windows 10 'repair DVD' and get to the point where he's ready to recreate the image. However, since the SSD is not detected in the BIOS, it just gives me an error and dumps me.

    I want to update the BIOS to see if it helps but I can't launch the HP flash/upgrade BIOS updated SoftPaq (sp54629.exe) on Windows 10. I get a UAC error that says: this app has been blocked for your protection. An administrator has blocked the delivery of this application...... sp54629.exe... Publisher: Not approved

    My question: if I restore the old o/s Win7 (original) of the partition recovery and then run the update of the BIOS SoftPaq under Win7, it will allow the BIOS to see the SSD? I don't want to waste hours until I can be fairly certain that the problem will be solved by upgrading the BIOS.

    Thank you in advance!

    Update: still no solution to this problem of HP. 5 hours wasted. Had to install temproarily old hard drive from the laptop in order to reinstall Win7, as well as all the crapware HP forces on us all, the recovery of the DVD because Firmware HP update software does not work with Win10 - THANKS HP! Anyway, it did not help the problem at all. In addition, I tried a SSD of SATA-III (Samsung) different with the same results. HP has to pay a bunch of 12 years to write BIOS of their laptops. Well, time to throw this laptop HP in the landfill. HP - never.

  • HP Pavilion 15-au006tx: HP Pavilion au006tx-15 m2 SSD update possible?

    Hello guys,.

    I plan to buy the HP Pavilion 15-au006tx. Wanted to know if it has a m2 Slot to add a SSD Boot?

    -Jenson

    We get this question a lot of things and right now I can't anyone buying a HP laptop with the idea of adding a player m2 to him when he does not comes with a counselor. There are a few long discussions here, which seems to have concluded that on some models the M.2 port is disabled in the BIOS, and another showed that a model that shows a m2 slot in the Service Manual actually has such without crack.

    See p. 34 of repair:

    Manual

    According to this manual that you can have a WSSD m2 or a hard drive because it refers to a jury of DSS and cable. It is also clear that if you can use a WSSD m2, you are limited to the SATA variety, which has no advantage of speed on a 2.5 not inches SATA SSD. I would buy it, because the specifications are very good and redeem the 1 TB 5400 RPM HARD 1 TB SATA III SSD drive and so 1 TB is not enough storage to you consider putting the 1 TB HARD drive in a caddy optical. Who uses our days DVD player, anyway?
