HP ENVY 15-j017cl and mSATA

Hi all

I want to change my stuff to default material on my lap. Now I have 750 GB HARD disk, but want to add mSATA in car (I saw the free slot on the motherboard). Could not find information in the documentation.

Is it possible to add for example 180/240 GB mSATA, then install Windows on it and use as main startup (as a reader C) disk and use the disk standard HARD as second drive with the second partition (such D & E)?

Hello KoprowskiT,

I understand you have questions about adding a via mSATA SSD in your laptop.

An important note is that the recovery media you will need to install Windows won't Boot MGR for the SSD. To do what you ask correctly you will need a copy of Windows.

If you have that, after you install your SSD (see here: Maintenance and Service of Guide) Insert the Windows installation disc and choose the custom installation option. This will allow you to install Windows on the SSD drive and recreate the Boot MGR. Once you have done this, you can format the HARD drive and use it for storage. I do not recommend formatting the HARD drive during installation and will confirm the SSD working first.

In some cases, you can install Windows on the SSD with the recovery media, but you need to keep Windows on the HARD drive for access to the boot of MGR. The cleanest way to do would be to back up your important information before installing the SSD and run a system restore to minimize the space used on the disk. Then partition the drive using Windows disk management to create a new disk for storage. Once you have done this, use the Recovery Manager to retrieve windows on the SSD.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need more information or more detailed explanations.

    Cables and devices to disconnect all the connected such as personal media players, USB drives, printers and faxes. Remove support for internal hard drives and remove any recently added hardware internally.

    It may be necessary to disable startup secure in the BIOS to start the computer using recovery media (CD/DVD or USB key).

    The new recovery for 2015 fall update manager must be downloaded and installed to successfully carry out a recovery of the system using HP Recovery Manager.

    It takes a minimum of 3 GB of free space to install the update in the Recovery Manager.

    Do you back up all personal files and read all of the instructions required warning before performing a system recovery? To backup your files will result in a loss of files and information you don't want to lose.

    To get the instructions back up and save your files, see back up your files (Windows 10: 8).

    The full recovery process may take 4 to 6 hours or longer to complete. For best results, the computer must not be connected to the Internet. The computer will restart several times during the process. Do not turn off or interrupt the recovery process until the prompt to log on Windows.

  • MEMRY update for HP ENVY 15-j017cl

    I have a HP ENVY 15-j017cl laptop and I want a bar of 8 GB memory to two 8 GB sticks so I have 16 GB of ram which is the maximum supported according to the manual, but I can't find anywhere what kind of sticks of memory supported by this laptop. I know it takes DDR3-1600 (PC3 12800) but I can't find the calendar, case latency or voltage than it requires.

    As suggested,

    If DDR3L, RAM voltage of 1.35v compatible processor ultra low voltage is available,

    You won't get DDR3L RAM with 1.5V in the market.

    It can be used for the purchase of an identical CASE of your current RAM latency can be determined by CPU - Z application:
    http://www.CPUID.com/softwares/CPU-z.html

    The majority of the available RAM on the market with this frequency & power for laptops, have an identical latency

    So no need to search specifically for that.

  • HP Envy 4500: HP Envy 4500 printer and access Wifi University / iPhone Wifi Hotspot

    I have a HP Envy 4500 home and signed up for the moment of ink.  Works very well and I was hoping for a similar arrangement for my daughter who has just started at the University.  It seems that there are problems with the HP Envy 4500 connection to University share wireless networks.  I was wondering if the following scenario would work:

    1. his computer is connected to the printer via the USB port
    2. the printer is connected to a hotspot wifi on iPhone (his phone is already connected to wifi University)

    This work of the printer relay information support to HP for the purpose of instant ink?

    I have a HP ENVY 750-177c and has been upgraded and 2 thin black wires were disconnected from the motherboard.  They have loops at the end of the wires that look like they might slip on the pins.  The wires connect to the upper part of the box of the computer.  Where to reconnect?

    Find this card in your system. It is the M2 half-bridge Wireless card.  The other end of the wires must always be fixed.  There are 2 heels left and right of the '2 '.  If everything is correct, it is your physical WI - FI antenna. Just re - stick inside the case.  The small clips are used for an external aerial connection.

    Only quickly obvious difference is the hard drive. The ordinary reader with 141 5400 RPM and 184 has a hybrid drive with a 8GB flash cache which should improve performance a bit.

    I am convinced that I will be able to help you find a solution, and I ask only that pay you it forward. When solve us the problem, I would mark you kindly post as accept as Solution so that others have the same or similar problem can find what worked for you.

    To reset the settings of the admin in the printers Web server shipped as shown in the screenshot you have validated, you need restore the network printer. Once restored, you must give the printer on the network.

    To restore the network settings, you will need to access the menu/wireless network on the front panel of the printer and look for the default network.

    Please do not forget to keep me informed of the result, so I can keep up with you. Thanks, I look forward to hear from you.

  • The HP Envy 17 line t there 2-Bay SATA or SATA 1 and mSATA?

    The line has Envy 17 t 2 drive bays?  If so, is it 2-Bay SATA or 1 SATA and 1 mSATA? In addition, on the hardware selection screen:

    If I choose this option, you guys at HP will install Windows on the SSD, instead of on the hard drive?  I found 256GB SSD which is much cheaper than $295, but I searched and found that HP has apparently put a restriction on the BIOS that prevents you from booting from an internal hard drive that you have added.

    EDIT: Maybe I could also get the 256 GB SSD and add my own hard drive.  But I still need to know if she has 2 SATA or 1 SATA and 1 mSATA.

    Now, we don't need to be mean to them, I don't think that the HP Forums are the big giant HP Experts incredible tiny bit intimidation of people asking for help.  I'll just buy the HP Envy 17 Laptop Touch t and see what type of port it has for me.

  • HP envy m6-1125dx: ssd msata on HP ENVY M6-1125DX

    Hi HP! I am a customer who uses an Hp product, have a laptop model HP ENVY M6-1125dx. I asked about this hardware upgrade thing. My problem is that I see a mini PCI - Ex right next to my Wifi card slot, so I take a look at the manual and his told me that my laptop can be upgraded to a 32 GB MSATA SSD (cause is using my laptop intel i5 - 3210 m chip). I would like to ask if I may or may not be upgraded more than 32 GB ssd, what the textbook says. Ex: I want to upgrade to ssd 128 GB msata. Is this possible? And what would happen if I switch to ssd 128 GB msata through mini PCI - Ex. thank you!

    The 32 GB mSATA ssd is intended to be used by the software Intel IRST.

    You can add a higher capacity SSDS mSATA and use it as storage or even boot into an operating system with him. If you do this, do not use the Intel IRST software because it will use part of the SSD for the cache and the rest will not be usable.

  • TouchSmart HP Envy 17-j017cl touch screen click on screen by itself

    64-bit Windows 8
    Product number: E9G80UA

    I recently bought about 4 months ago and it's great for a little while. But recently he would make this annoying glitch. The screen would act as if I'm pressing the screen somewhere in the middle of it and selecting whatever it is within its range. This may seem not so bad by the sounds of it, but if you play a video or a website with links in this area it will click on a link or stop/play videos. It is very annoying!

    Troubleshooting: at first I thought that it would be my touchpad, so I made sure that I didn't to it during these periods. But it would still do so even if I'm not in contact with the laptop. So if I use only my wireless mouse to go through Web pages or anything else, he would still do the ghost by clicking.

    I thought then that maybe it's my wireless mouse, so I unplugged the laptop USB receiver and he always does.

    Then I tried to get online with HP technical support and they checked my computer and tried a few things like remove the driver of the touchpad and so on without any results. He finally told me that I have to send it to them for repair (still in warranty). However, I have not the time to send my phone to them for repairs.

    My last thought was to turn off the touch screen. What I did by going to Device Manager and by disabling one of the HIDDEN options. I've had several, so I had to try each of them since none were marked as the touch screen, but only as a HID device. It has worked so far and he has not clicked anywhere yet.

    My question is, is anyone know what I need to do to correct the problem? I thought to update the driver, but I can't find it on the HP site and when I try to update the driver through Device Manager it says he has the best driver available, which most of the time is BS. I guess I just need to know where I can find the right driver for the touch screen.

    Hi Spoon1901,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. I read your thread on your computer laptop 17-j017cl TouchSmart from HP ENVY and your touch screen, here's a link to a update the system BIOS. It will help improve the screen problems.
