HP envy 14-2090eo: defrag on ssd windows 7 Yes or not

When I installed an ssd of evos Samsung 850 500 gb, I then have to make changes in windows 7 Home premium 64-bit, in order to ensure the best performance of the ssd? I read a few different oppinions on the defragmentation of the object, but what is your opinion on that, when using an installed ssd? Should it be turned on or off, and also is there perhaps other changes should be made?

Best regards to all

Defragmenting a SSD should never take place. If I am not deceived Samsung offer also software adapted to ensure that the SSDS works at optimal performance with user input. If defragmentation is schedualed on your machine win7 and SSD is your primary drive, know where your OS to turn off. I believe that win7 is smart enough to realize that an SSD is installed but I'm not sure regarding the win8.1, that this is done automatically.

  • HP envy 14-2090eo: can I use the same drivers for windows 8 and 8.1

    When I check in drivers which operating systems there are drivers available for my Hp Envy 14-2090eo, it says Windows 8 (64-bit) and Windows 7 (64-bit), "and im currently using Windows 7 64 bit" but does that mean the drivers to support these 2 Windows 8 and 8.1 of Windows operating systems, said in a different way "» : are the same drivers for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1?

    Best regards from hpenvy1

    Hello:

    Your model has the AMD/Intel switchable graphics.

    It is unlikely that the W8 AMD graphics driver will work on W8.1.

    Normally, you can use some of the drivers W7/W8 on W8.1, but the graphics is very doubtful - not switchable graphics anyway.

    You can run the windows 8.1 upgrade wizard and see what it reports.

  • HP envy 14-2090eo: activate the ahci with new ssd on hp envy 14-2090eo

    Hi Hp experts...

    I just ordered a Samsung 850 evo 500 GB ssd, replace the drive hard seagate 750 GB original in my HP Envy 14-2090eo. I then took a peek in the Device Manager and found that when I click the menu ATA/ATAPI IDE controller, it shows a new field saying: Intel(r) Mobile Express Chipset SATA AHCI Controller. Does this mean that AHCI is enabled automatically when I install the Samsung 850 evo 500 GB ssd? Its because I don't have any options the normally settings in the BIOS to change to AHCI mode and then he hit me maybe its on automatically, or what I have to do to switch to AHCI mode, which I have heard is the best setting when installing SSD´s...

    Best regards to all

    Hello:

    Yes, he does.  AHCI is enabled and cannot be changed.

  • Windows 8 was willing to defragment my SSD

    I recently did a clean hit ("custom") installation of Windows 8 Pro x 64 on an SSD. Through the Control Panel, I was surprised to see that Windows 8 planned my SSD for weekly defragmentation. On the same SSD, Windows 7 turns off on its own defragmentation. I had to do it manually in Windows 8. How is it?

    Hello

    There is no defragmentation in Windows, it optimization. See: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IN/windows-8/optimize-hard-drive

    With Windows 8, there is an option to 'optimize' a car. It looks like the option defragment in previous versions of Windows. However, Windows 8 recognizes that the disc is an SSD, still says he needs of optimization.

    In Windows 7, WinSAT tool disables the defragmentation on SSD. For reference, see this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2727880/en-us

    In Windows 8, it takes manually.

  • Qosmio G30 and intel SSD - Windows 7

    Hi, I'm new to the forum

    I have a Qosmio G30 with Windows 7 32 bit - model G30 140 31F
    I bought an SSD intel 160 GB because of the promissed 250 MB/sg reading speed, because I need for video editing.
    I tried in Win Xp and now Windows 7 and it gets up to 120 MB/Sg

    I guess it s because of the drivers but I instal the drivers of storage can´t intel matrix any version of it. I tried a lot of them and with the compatibility mode too. It gives me an error saying I have not the minimum requirement.

    I have 4 GB of RAM and 2.0 Gzs centrino duo.
    I have install intel ssd toolbox and it does not recognize the intel SSD drive as a drive intel to improve the speed and other things.

    Please help me to get my speed in the car because it has to be and to have the TRIM option enable in order to have the life of my unit any longer.
    I also have the latest firmware in the drive.

    Thank you in advance.

    DANI

    PD: It coul be, perhaps, if our computer is a sata 150 controller in place a 300 sata controller? I don't know if the control is one of them in any case.

    Hi Gazpachete,

    I put t know how you managed now installing Windows, but Qosmio G30 is equipped with a SATA150 interface... This means that you will never get the 250 MB/s read speed of the HARD drive. You will get a maximum speed of 150 MB/s theoretically, but in most cases it of also a little slower.

    How did you check the current speed?
    But 120 MB/s is a good speed. You should be satisfied and it s faster than each computer portable HARD drive. ;)

    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

    HP Support Assistant just asked me to launch a regular maintenance, which is fine.

    Then I noticed that he was trying to defragment a SSD drive, so I cancelled it.

    Is the routine support assistant smart enough to know not not to defragment a SSD?

    Obviously not, you must go in the HPSA settings and disable Defrag.

  • Envy of HP Touchsmart m6 Sleekbook Windows 8 password reset

    My friend pulled a joke on me by changing my password on my laptop.  He changed the username to a false address, so the password during extraction is impossible and if you believe that he forgot the password.  How to do a reset? In addition, this laptop has no ability to drive.  Ive been told I'll need to open the back of the computer, remove the battery of 'shows' and the RAM sticks while pressing power, then replace all.  Sounds simple, but I know very little about computers, beyond basic user software.  Thank you!

  • Defragmenting the SSD?

    Am curious to know if it is recommended to defragment the SSD occasionally after the installation of a lot of data (music, video, photo), or if it is an unnecessary step for webOS?

    Never defragged SSD, although I occasionall defragmented more big flash drives and which does not seem to improve performance.

    Defrag is one of the fastest ways to kill an SSD (the 100% faster run spinrite which will quickly use up the flash memory limited write cycles)

  • Envy-15: Downgrade new notebook with Windows to Windows 7 (drivers) 10

    Hi, I just bought a new laptop with 10 Windows preinstalled as the base OS.

    For various reasons, I want to upgrade to Windows 7. I have an authentic copy of the retail of Windows 7 with a valid license key. What I really need is drivers for Windows 7. I prefer to do this by creating a separate partition, but I'm open to a full erase of the disk.

    I've tested. I created a new partition, installed Windows 7 (it is not drive C). I immediately found the drivers to be a major issue. Much of the original Win 10 drivers will be not even install on Windows 7. Some keys, such as the USB controller and the graphics are not found. Windows Update does not have both. Thus, for example, nothing is detected when I connect via a USB port. Another problem is that when I started in Windows 10, he couldn't restore anything from the recovery partition D. I don't know if I made a mistake, Windows is confused, or what happened. In this spirit, I restored the image of the system from a backup made a week in advance.

    (P.s. I know that Win 10 drivers are available on the Web site. If you install Windows 7 after that Win 10 is a problem (for example 7 not seen the C drive, I am open to wipe the disk entirely, starting with 7, which makes my base OS, if I can get drivers, then add 10 win.) Also, I have a valid license key to win 10 outside this new laptop and really have the driver support. I have several system images and history of files is active, so I can return if necessary.)

    I'd appreciate any help!

    Thank you

    You are the very welcome.

    You will have to make the most of the drivers directly from the Web sites of the mfr of material and we hope they work.
