HP 15 Notebook PC: HARD SSD drive, and can my laptops support more ram
Product name: HP 15 laptop
Product number: K6C60EA #ABU
8.1 Windows 64-bit
I have a 1 TB 5400 rpm HDD Samsung and 8 DDR3L RAM.
I want to change this (HDD) for a
Samsung 850 EVO 250GB 2.5 "SSD
Is that a good choice, my budget is less than £80.
Also can I have an upgrade of RAM, my processor States the max is 8 GB, but I saw some processor be able to handle more than its limit.
Here is a link to the service manual for your model, the 15-r160sa:
Study this carefully. See p. 59. In order to access the hard drive, you must remove the entire cover. There is no easy access panel. You want to endanger the guarantee, but yes, the hard drive can be replaced with an SSD and that you have chosen is in my opinion, the best on the market.
With respect to memory, your laptop uses the Intel® Pentium® N3540, which is a "Bay Trail" processor. This means a few things. First of all, see page 2 of the Manual:
1 or 2 customer accessible/upgradable memory module slots (depending on model) 2 slots: DDR3L - 1600 MHz Dual Channel Support (Core processors) 1 location: DDR3 1333 MHz Dual Channel Support (DDR3L 1600 retrograde to the DDR3-1333) (Trail Bay processors)
So there is a slot of memory in your laptop and most it can take is 8 GB. Also, the memory is still harder to get than the hard drive. demanding the withdrawal of the motherboard.
Please post back with any additional questions.

Envy 17 N 001TX HARD + SSD drive
Product number: M9V44PA
The laptop has already 2TD HDD.
Can I add an SSD to this topic?
Yes. On this model the M.2 slot is present on models with an i7 and a graphics chip dedicated according to the maintenance manual.
See page 2
However, the manual is very vague as to the location and access to the m2 slot.
Others have posted pictures and it seems that the manual does not and you don't need to remove and return on the motherboard for access. The location is right above the drive Bay hard see p. 35.
So you can add a module to the WSSD m2 for your laptop, sometimes called a hard "gumstick" disc
That's what it would look like:

Hi dynamitenews
1. are you able to boot to the desktop?
2. what happens when you try to start the computer?You must have the DVD drive to start the computer using the disk, you cannot use the external hard drive to do the same thing.
Also I suggest you to make sure you have defined the start as CD/DVD-Rom as the first choice option in the BIOS. See below the help link-
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/BIOS-frequently-asked-questionsIf nothing is done, then you can contact the manufacturer support for assistance on setting up the correct boot sequence and check.
BIOS WARNING-
Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor 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.I hope this helps.

The only legal Windows 7 download available is now Microsoft, as Microsoft has stopped DigitalRiver Windows 7 ISO downloads.
http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery
But Microsoft only provides these downloads for Windows 7 keys to selling product at retail, not preinstalled OEM product keys (Dell, HP, etc.).
If you have a Windows 7 license detail and are having trouble at the above Web site, contact Microsoft using the Support option.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
If you have a preinstalled OEM license (Lenovo, Dell, HP, etc.), contact Lenovo at the order of recovery media that they need to provide for a fee.
Or you can also borrow the same exact retail edition DVD of Windows 7 and use your product key to reinstall.
See you soon.

Installation internal SSD drive and storage of documents on external hard drive
Hello!
I have an older iMac and I want to speed it up by installing a SSD drive. Currently, my internal hard drive has 2 TB of storage, and I don't want to pay for one SSD of this size. I consider the use of an external drive for my files and using the SSD internal applications and the operating system. Can this work? What is the internal SSD of minimum size I should get, more or less, according to my number of apps? The documents will open at a decent speed? It is up to me to use an external hard drive with a Firewire instead of USB connection? Thank you!
Hi Dan:
Apps it really depends how much you use and what types of data you want to keep in vs SSD HARD drive.
120-128 GB SSD: USD price: 60-70 price range.
for 250/256 GB SSD: about USD: price range of 80-90
for 500/512 GB SSD: about USD: price range of 130-150
An external 2 TB drive: for laptop (USB bus-powered - usually 2.5 "HDD included): 90 us $, for the largest 3.5" Office style HDD: 90 USD
For me:
I store all my music on the external network drive (RAID 1 configuration, 2 TB, and 50 percent full this time), all my documents/pictures are still in my 500 GB SSD.
I don't have much video projects on my SSD.
I used about 200 GB in my internal SSD flash drive
Good luck finding your best solution.

Satellite A100 - compatibility SSD drive and recommendations?
Hello.
I want to replace the original HARD drive in my Satellite A100-811 with an SSD.
What are the parameters for search? I can just about any 2.5 "SATA II SSD on the market?
Intel X 25 - M Mainstream SATA SSD 160 GB G2 is compatible?
Are there recommendations for Toshiba?Thank you!
Hello
A100 controller SATA HDD support.
Generally, it should be possible to use the laptop as part of a SATA SSD drive.
But I also read that not all laptops can properly manage the SSD drive.
In some cases the SSD update the firmware of the player might help.
So I can't say with certainty that the new SSD will work properly and that the BIOS would properly recognize the SSD.
I think you'll need to test the SSD drive
You could order it on Amazon and could test, in the worst case you could send again
I did it too with some RAM modules that didn t work in my notebook.Please post some details if these updates succeeded or not, it would be interesting to know if you can use it in your A100 because I would use a SSD drive too

Conversion HARD SSD drive on MBP 2010, need to program
I have a 17 "middle MBP 2010 and in the process of conversion of SSD HARD drive. I use the latest version of Mac OS X. What program is recommended to mirror, for the SSD HARD drive image before installing? Or should I simply to reinstall all the programs instead, and then add the data? A problem, I think that I have on this last approach is that I have many books in iBooks who came not through iTunes, and I see no way to export the data. Are there times or saving strategies that I use in this business, the question of iBooks and the whole process of frustration?
To install an SSD in a MBP is fundamentally no different from a HARD classic disc. Format the SSD drive in disk utility > erase to Mac OS extended (journaled) and then copy the HDD to the SSD. I recommend to use Carbon Copy Cloner for data transfer. It copies everything. including the OSX and the recovery partition.
Ciao.

Dear Forum,
I replaced my original HARD with a SSD drive, but now HP support assistant recognizes my phone? The program runs but updates always fail and when I look at general specifications the serial number, product name, number of product, microprocessors, system memory, motherboard, bios system, drive hard (s), and optical drive (s) are all empty. Interestingly, it recognizes the device to display (s) as being mobile intel (R) HD graphics and current resolution of 1366 x 768 and refresh rate 60.
My laptop is an Australian model HP DV4 3029tx, which is an intel i5 14 "(2ème génération) with AMD graphics 6750" I replaced the original 640 GB hd with a 180 GB ocz vertex 2 using acronis to clone the drive.
I would be grateful is anyone know how to get hp support assistant to recognize my computer.
Thank you very much

I think that cloning might be the question because the original configuration has been changed. Simple uninstall and reinstall again could possibly solve the problem as well... -
Is it easy to change HARD SSD drive on Acer TravelMate P246-M - 53T 2 14 "Laptop?
Interested by Acer TravelMate P246-M - 53T 2 14 "Lpatop and that you want to upgrade to an SSD, it is simple to swap the disks or the hard drive built into the Board of Directors?
Any information on this would be appreciated.
Thank you
It should be a regular SATA HDD and exchanges with a SATA SSD. I can't find guides to do this on a TravelMate P246-M - T 53, 2. Unless it has a door down to access the HARD disk and memory, you probably need to remove everything down. To the Acers you can take all the screws on the bottom and gently, she jump off and some will be tied down, so much, be careful of who and static damage electronics.
