HP 15-f215dx: installation of an SSD

I am wanting to install an SSD in my laptop to increase performance.  Would it be possible to keep the hard drive I have now in additional to the new SSD?  The f215dx can support 2 hard drives?

There is only one hard drive Bay. Here is the Service Manual:

Manual

See page 46. Access to the hard drive Bay is not too easy. You must remove the entire cover.

The only way 2 hard disks of the computer there is to give the DVD drive and install a disk adapter hard optical drive:

See page 34 of the manual on how to remove the DVD drive. The device above with the original mechanical hard drive can be inserted in place of the DVD player to give you more storage, and then run Windows of an SSD.

  • Upgrade Windows 10 + installation clean + new SSD

    Hello

    My situation is that I have windows 7 Home premium OEM installed and running on a hard drive of my laptop.

    My windows 10 upgrade is ready to run. (Probably, it does not matter, but I have already improved

    front and rear devulcanization to windows 7).

    I intend to buy a new SSD and want to end up with a clean windows 10 install on the SSD and use

    my current hard drive as secondary storage.

    I've read other questions on this matter, but sometimes the answers that you have upgraded to windows 10

    on the old hard drive first, and then perform a clean installation on the SSD, and sometimes I read that

    you need to install windows 7 on SSD first and then upgrade to windows 10 from there.

    So which of these two options should I choose?

    Thanks in advance, Gilles

    Hi Gilles,.

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

    According to the description, you intend to buy a new SSD and want to perform a clean installation of Windows 10 on it.

    Certainly, I understand your concern.

    I want to provide you with the information that you must first buy the new SSD. Then install Windows 7 on it, activate it, and then upgrade to Windows 10.

    And even if you want to perform a new installation of Windows 10, you can do it.

    Please refer to the article below:

  • Symbol ban after new installation on new SSD

    Hello

    A few months ago, my original HD failed (MacBook Pro (13-inch, mid 2012)).

    I decided to replace it myself with a SSD instead.

    the thing is, every time you start, I get the symbol ban for a few seconds until sometimes for hours, but once the start is done - everything works perfectly.

    tried to replace the disc SSD 3 times now - the same result after each new installation of recovery of the internet.

    Currently, using SanDisk Ultra II 240 GB.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you!

    The symbol you see means that the computer did not find a bootable system disk and sometimes occurs when you have not set up a default startup disk. Go to System Preferences, and then select Startup disk. You should see your SSD in the window. Select it after you unlock the preferences.

    The strange thing is that, if this is your problem, it must be solved in seconds - certainly not hours. This would suggest there is something more complex. You say that you tried to replace the SSD 3 times. Different drives? Different manufacturers?

  • Pavilion g7 1070US: installation of new SSD

    I'm helping a friend with a HP Pavilion g7 1070US laptop. His original hard drive crashed and we bought a PNY 960 GB SSD drive to replace its old WD 500 GB. We were able to restore his old Win 7 because while trying to create a USB startup device the MS site says our OEM license. So we bought a new Win 10 license with a USB and when you try to start the message; "Core security check failed" appears, and the computer restarts then cycling in the same message. I tried to boot from another key USB and DVD ROM created by MS media creator but the same warning message appearing.

    Later we have formatted the drive outside the laptop with a SATA adapter.  Reset us the BIOS by default. The drive is recognized by the internal BIOS diagnostic and test memory was also executed.  Both pass.  However, whenever a start is attempted the system responds with a BSOD and the message; "The verification of the security kernel failure".  All the world is facing a situation difficult always. I even bought an old copy of Win 7 Home edition and the installation CD has the same problem.

    Any suggestions...

  • HP Pavilion 15-ak002na Gaming: installation of an SSD

    Hello
    I would like to install an SSD or a mSata/m2 in my PCie slot (if I have one). The SSD is expected to replace my HARD drive, this could go in a caddy to replace my CD player.

    So, I want to be confirmed by the experts that my computer has a location free PCIe that supports the mSata and/or m.2 SSD? And if so, is this SATA II or III slot? There are chances that the installation of these will not void my warranty?

    And finally, how the 3 options compare to eachother?

    Road to SSD:

    -Advantages:

    + Availability (I have a 240GB 2.5 "SSD already) (not that big of a pro)

    -Disadvantages:

    + More work

    + Certainly void my warranty (I got the laptop last month)

    + 1 TB of data up to 240 GB to sacrifice space.

    mSATA/m.2 road:

    -Advantages:

    + Less work

    + Not to sacrifice data space

    -Disadvantages:

    + Might not be as stable/fast /...

    I honestly don't know much about this stuff, I just read an article that gave me the idea that something to do early in the spring. Please correct me if I have something wrong.

    Thank you

  • M2. installation of the SSD.

    Today, I cloned my original harddrive using software called marcurium successfully reflect. Without the original hhd, I could start with my m2. SSD. However when I reinstalled my original 1 TB harddrive, it would only boot with my HARD drive. I am. UEFI boot mode. Does anyone know how seccessfully boot with ssd? Window of resettlement is not an option for me because I want my factory recovery in my ssd. Any have a solution? (By the way, I tried to format my HARD drive, but it will only make me switch to recovery mode. I had to recover the definition of factor after I formatted my HARD drive.

    Hello

    When I did, I followed this procedure of judal7837:

    He has a lot of nice pictures on the operation of a facility of ssd, but are the main steps I thought to make a difference

    (1) create a with alienrespawn recovery disk, you can do this with a flash drive or a portable hard drive

    (6) start your system and press F12, and then choose the recovery media, you will see the exotic respawn of image, then press next and let the software do the work. you're goin to have a fresh and full drivers 8.1 windows

    I made my disc of recovery on a USB stick, not a hard drive, but they both work.  I kept my original as a backup hard drive so I only did his step 8.

    This great worked for me, the system has been 'as new', but I did very little installation to this place so it did not matter that I had to redo my account etc..

    Like you I was going to use a program like Macrium, but when I saw cela using Alien respawn, that I decided to try and it was very easy.

    I hope that helps!

  • FM9 (TCS2) Installation not on SSD?

    Only, I came across this article under "Required" for TCS2 installation:

    > 6.5 GB of disk space available for installation. additional space required during installation (cannot install on flash storage devices)

    I intend to invest in a Thinkpad X 301 with a 128 GB SSD, I find this irritating requirement, to say the least.

    Anyone here have hands-on experience with installing FM9 (or the TCS2) on a laptop with a SSD?

    Thank you

    Johann

    I think that this requirement is indicating that a USB - stick must not be used. As far as I KNOW, the SSDS should be treated as hard drives.

  • HP 9713c laptop: installation of an SSD in my HP 9713c.

    How to install an SSD that features a SATA port to the interface on the MB that is pinned (not SATA)? There is no way to plug into the SSD.

    I thought about it. I didn't know that the pinned interface appears off the coast of the SATA interface hard disk. He appears turned off, put it on the SSD and live. Side, note what difference in performance tremdous. He must have accelerated start-up time by up to 10 times and launching apps for iPhone by almost the same. It is a must for a slow laptop.

  • Windows XP does not start after the installation of an SSD.

    Windows XP SP3 and Intel Smart Response Technology

    Recently, I built a new computer and installed Windows XP Pro and Windows 7 Pro in a dual-boot arrangement.  Everything worked very well.  I then installed an SSD in the hopes of using the Intel Smart Response Technology (SRT) to speed things up.

    I shut down the computer, installed the SSD, brought up in Win7 and follow the easy guests in SRT to activate the player.  Restarted several times and things SSD speed up significantly.  Wonderful.
    I so restart and select Windows XP so I can SRT it.  After you select Windows XP in the boot menu, a few seconds and I get a quick flash of a BSOD and the computer restarts spontaneously.  I can't enter in WinXP, not even without failure or last known good config Mode.
    I again in Win7 and disable the SRT, reboot and I can enter Windows XP very well.  So obviously WinXP has a problem with the SRT is activated outside the XP.  That being said, I can't activate SRT in WinXP first either.  "Accelerate" option does not appear in the menu.
    Any ideas on that?
    Thanks for your help!

    Hello

    In these cases, we always recommend to update the system BIOS of motherboard, update the firmware of the controller RAID and disks installed. If the problem persists, you will need to fix the compatibility problem directly with the manufacturer of the motherboard and add it to the RAID controller itself.

    I suggest you to contact Intel support site to improve assistance on the issue.

    http://www.Intel.com/p/en_US/support?IID=HDR+support

    Warning of the BIOS:

    BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  • SSD in new ALX R4 installation and what makes the startup disk

    Have just ordered a new R4 ALX. Would have preferred to order a combo HDD SSD, but Dell didn't, this combo and the largest SSD they available was 512 GB.

    Thus, when the new PC arrives, I intend to install a 840 Samsung 1 TB mSATA SSD EVO (using an Icy Box 2.5 "to 3.5" HDD/SSD converter).

    YouTube has a video showing how:

    I can't find that any information how to do this from a windows machine (now only available) of the old system had the lion as I was told and when trying to install lion line or wireless it says it isn't available now so the machine is stuck without an operating system.

    If you are anywhere near an Apple Store, I would suggest bringing your MBP to and asking to help. For USB, you need to partition and format to allow to boot on a Mac, what Windows can not do. Then either create a bootable installer or install OS X on USB and then copy the installer it, boot from it and run the installer with the SSD as a target.
