HP ENVY 15-j050tx Notebook PC: can I partition Windows (c :)) by car?

My laptop details are given below:

Operating system: Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

Product name: HP ENVY 15-j050tx Notebook PC

Model No.: F2C67PA

I have only two disks, C, and D.

Drive C is used for Windows and install other software. It has around 672 GB storage.

Impossible D drive used or consulted as it is a RECOVERY disk.

Some people recommend HP to store my data and personal files in the same drive where Windows is installed in the C drive, I fear in the case of corrupted Windows, my files of personal data would also be gone. I am thinking so to partition my C drive because it has around 672 GB and only 80% is not used.

1. is it safe to partition C drive in which runs the Windows operating system?

2. given that HP does not recommend partition, it creates problems for Windows to run with ease and efficiency?

3. how to split the partition C drive?

Thanks in advance.

Hello

1. it's OK to divide c to create a partition for the data,

2. I have not heard/read HP rexommendation. In my opinion, using tools HP to do a factory restore would eliminate all the plysical by car so no point to divide. And probably because that not sure people so how do not recommend you to do.

3. Please follow the instructions below:

Note: You must be sure that you can do and Please Don ' t mess thing upwards.

Kind regards.

    Hello:

    I had to make a drastic clean the C drive of my ENVY 17 laptop and did a Factory Reset. I was able to reload Windows 8 Pro to my USB stick recovery.

    However, Windows 8 Pro cannot be reactivated indicating that the product key is invalid or blocked. I understand that this is due to having the OS completely cleaned and formatted drive.

    My questions are:

    1. Will be the HP (which is available on order) recovery disks be able to help solve the situation described above?
    2. It will allow me to reactivate my Windows 8 Pro?
    3. Will the recovery be HP discs/media contain or are marked with the correct Windows product key?

    Thank you

  • HP ENVY m6-n113dx Notebook PC: new installation of Windows 8 on HP Envy and with problems of drivers.

    I have a laptop HP Envy M6 and it came with Windows pre-installed on it 8.1. I always do a new installation of Windows, whenever I have buy a laptop that I hate all the bloatware and stuff which they pre-install on it.

    Unfortunately, when I did, I found that the drivers on the HP website do not work for some things, especially my wi - fi.

    In Device Manager there are three things that make their appearance as having a problem:

    Network controller:

    PCI\VEN_168C & DEV_0036 & SUBSYS_217F103C & REV_01

    Unknown device:

    ACPI\VEN_HPQ & DEV_6001

    Unknown device:

    ACPI\VEN_HPQ & DEV_6007

    If anyone can provide me with some drivers work, I would be incredibly grateful. I called HP and they told me all I can do is to pay $40 for a CD delivered to me so I can reinstall the version of bloatware, and I really want to do. I want to use my real version of Windows 8 and not pay for something I don't even want.

    Thank you!

    Nevermind, I fixed it myself by reading old son of Paul_Tikkanen

    I used http://www.pcidatabase.com/index.php

    and found the diver that I needed, and now I don't have to pay $40 for the version of bloatware.  Yay!

  • HP ENVY 14-1150ca Notebook PC: HP Envy 14 GFX card is toast. It can be replaced?

    Hey guys,.

    I have a HP ENVY 14-1150 laptop ca and the graphics card which is a Mobility Radeon HD 5650 failed on me.

    Is it possible to replace the graphics card in my notebook and the replacement of the card is still available for purchase?

    If it is not available is it an alternative that might work?

    Money is tight right now so I can't afford a new pc which is obviously the best solution here.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi @MikeManning

    Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. I looked in your question on your HP ENVY 14-1150ca Notebook PC and issues with the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650. You can disable the device in Device Manager. You will be able to use the Intel graphics on your system.

    Here is some information switchable graphics or bi - GPU. The graphics are attached to the motherboard so not replaceable.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I'm laptops: HP ENVY m6-1155eo Notebook PC, I use Windows 8.1 64-bit

    My hard drive is causing my computer to freeze and a lot of blocking problem, which makes my computer unusable because I use it for audio work and a LIVE audio work. So I checked it with the disk self-test
    and he got this:

    Failure ID: GLG8XX-6A270T-XD7X1F-60UM03

    did some research and I couln can't find anything. What it means? Do I have to replace the HARD drive?

    Thank you
    ALF

    Yes, the hard drive must be replaced. If you are still in warranty HP will send a replacement. If it is not in warranty, you can buy a SATA notebook hard drive retail. Don't forget to get one with a capacity at least as large as the original 750Go hdd to use HP recovery discs to reinstall your operating system and software. It may be more grand, but of no small ability.

  • HP Envy 14-1010nr: HP Envy 14-1010nr Notebook PC: replace and upgrade to USB 3.0 ports

    Hello

    I have a HP Envy 14 - 1010nr Notebook PC, which had two USB 2.0 ports on the left side and a USB 3.0 port on the right.

    USB 3.0 port was damaged such as connectors plugged it seem a little loose and can move laterally a little so that the connection to the device comes in and out - makes it uncertain to copy some stuff on a hard drive through it, for example.

    Is it possible for me to replace this port? Where could find a spare part for that if it can replace?

    Even though I am inside the computer, I might as well replace the USB 2.0 with USB 3.0 ports ports if the pats replacement for that exist...

    You're right, because there is no audio + USB 3.0, only the original + USB 2.0

  • HP ENVY m6-n113dx Notebook PC: update the BIOS F.22A and keyboard

    Hello

    I was hoping that over time someone would have posted something with a similar problem, I have, but its been a while so I guess I would ask and I hope an answer and I hope I'm not the only one experiencing this problem.

    Awhile back, I upgraded my laptop BIOS (HP ENVY Notebook PC m6-n113dx) from F.21A to F.22A, who apperently offers improved performance of the internal keyboard. After the update, nothing seemed very different. However when I play a game and press a key on the keyboard, the charater would sometimes get stuck on this action of the key as if she was held down. Usually, I just press the button again to stop this action, although this has become an embarrassment.

    I've been reading the forums and found a lot of options for apperently decommissioning of your BIOS to earlier versions, but I would like to know where I can find a how to or may downgrade my BIOS of F.22A to F.21A, especially for my laptop.

    Thanks in advance
