HP Envy 15-j190nb update question

Hi all

I have a question about the HP Envy 15-j190nb.

I'm looking for a laptop about a new study that I will soon begin. My eyes fell on the HP Envy 15-j190nb .

The specs are really good for a laptop, but I was wondering if I could install an Msata SSD and Windows of her boot.

Basically, I want to keep the 750 GB HARD drive as a device to store my data and the SSD as a boot device.

The question is, is it possible? I searched the Internet for a bit and saw that the old Envy 15 models were not able to boot from the disc Msata, because they removed this option in the Bios. The only thing that could do the job was if you removed the preinstalled HARD drive so that the laptop would automatically detect the Msata drive as a boot device.

Now the articles I read are from somewhere last year so I don't know if the problem I described is still there.

I'm looking forward for an awnser

Problems still there. You can also run Windows of the WSSD, if you configure a bootstrapper on the main drive, which is quite advanced things. I'd say you'd be better off just replace the mechanical drive with a SATA SSD.

Fortunately, it's one of the models where the hard drive and the WSSD are easily accessible.

    Hi guys, sorry for my bad English, but I need your help

    The specifications of laptop HP ENVY 15-j190nb (J3S08EA) gpu say "NVIDIA GeForce GT 840 M (2 GB memory DDR3 reserved)." But when I check the site of NVIDIA, or even Google, there is no such thing as the 'GT' 840M GeForce. Would it be possible they mean the NVIDIA GeForce 840 M card? So without the 'GT '?

    Yes you are right. Assumes that the features of HP people he has messed up

    But you can find your like this:

    GT, GTX

    Those who have been the suffixes that come after a card number (in the new cards they became prefixes), part of the confusion of naming which uses Nvidia.

    In short, two cards with the same number but a different suffix will be different in terms of performance, for example: 8800 ultra is faster than the 8800 GTX that is faster than the 8800 GT which is faster than the 8800 GS.

    It is an ordered list declining performance (even though there may be a few exceptions):

    Ultra / GTX +.
    GTX
    GTS
    GT
    GS/GSO
    THE

    You can't say that 8600 GTS is faster than the 8800 GS (it is in fact slower), because you have to compare the 2 cards with the same number.

    Hope this solve your problem,

  • HP ENVY 17 t-k000 CTO laptop: HP ENVY 17 t-k000 CTO Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR) Bios Update Question

    My Hp Support Assistant wants me to update my bios...

    I have two questions regarding this.

    1. the software to Flash the bios is not compatiable with windows 10.  It will be safe to run anyway? (Yes, I have installed a free update to windows 10)

    2 sp71055.exe f42.ap1 (corresponds to the file, it is recommended to run to my i7 from intel, patch notes (always never enough information) provide that it restores or that it provides the original bios.)

    My bios version connected is

    BIOS version / date f/34. 12-19-2014

    On a previous occasion, I thought I already flashed the bios and I was wondering if I need to restore to the original version, or it turns out is a bit 'off '.

    The link you have provided updated the bios with no ill affects (for now!) Thank you for your help

  • Envy 15-j104el: updated NETWORK WiFi card and RAM update

    Goodmorning to everyone

    I write this post to ask for information on the possibility to do an upgrade of hardware on my HP Envy 15-j104elsystem.

    That's what I would do:

    -Replace the network card (NIC) to a wireless better and possibly with a compatible AC NIC.

    -Update to 16 GB of ram, put benches with CL9 SODIMM

    The questions that I want to bring to your attention are:

    -There is a 'white list' for the wifi card on my BIOS (actually F66)?
    (consultation with the service manual there are little NIC OEM selled, y at - it ONLY compatible?)

    -Put the sticks of ram CL9 (instead of CL11 currently OEM mounted), I can inprove the overall performance?

    I want to install are:

    -Intel Wireless-AC 7260 more Bluethoot HMC 4.0


    -Kingston HyperX Impact DDR3L 16 GB (2x8gb) SODIMM 1600 Mhz CL9 (Kit)

    According to your experiences, is it compatible? I can buy them without any problem?

    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me. Thanks for your suggestions

    In particular, I take this opportunity to greet and also need the help of my friend @visruth ;)

    1. no whitelist. Your laptop was conducted after HP stopped using a white list so that you can install any card with the right form factor and the number of antennas. The Intel 7260 card should work.

    2. you can install the CL9 memory but it will not do anything all run faster. The motherboard is made to operate at the speed of the OEM memory so the Kingston Hyper-X will work, but the specifications of it in operation will be the same as memory OEM.

  • HP Envy 14-J009tx: updating the Nvidia driver is blocked?

    So, I bought this laptop last month, and I tried updating the Nvidia graphics driver for the last of the 347.52 version supplied with it. I opened the GeForce experience app to update, it tells me that it is impossible to connect to Nvidia. Not still even though I changed my home network to the endearing phone, it won't let me update, saying that it cannot connect to Nvidia and I should try again later. I also checked the firewall and AVG (I changed the antivirus immediately after purchase) and allows the application to access the internet.

    So my question is: is it done deliberately by HP or there may be something wrong with the whole of my ISP? And besides, I am interested in upgrading to Windows 10, will there be any problem with all the app that requires Nvidia? I really need the graphics I want to do a lot of CAD in the future.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello MalvinVVV ;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    I read your post on Nvidia driver update and I wanted to help.

    It's generally a BAD idea to update the video drivers laptop NVIDIA (or AMD) because the OEM manufacturers often use specialized versions of video chipsets for which these pilots are not suitable.  The best approach is to update only from the OEM drivers.

    This link is to HP for your PC product page: http://support.hp.com/sg-en/product/HP-ENVY-14-Notebook-PC-series/7771343/model/8524508/drivers

    If you press the check now button, he will see if there is new video HP drivers for your PC, download and install them.  If there is no newer drivers, I would leave it alone.

    In addition, I checked the same page to see if there are drivers HP Win10 and there are.  So, if you decide to upgrade to Win10, you will be able to get drivers HP.

    Good luck

  • Laptop HP ENVY 15-AH151sa: updated my new laptop Win10

    According to my HP Support Assistant earlier today, there was no updates that I need to install but then I had an interesting development.

    I accidentally clicked on my desk and saw a menu here. At the top was a link to AMD Catalyst Control Center, and from there, I updated my driver AMD. Move the screen now appears to be much better and I have more problems with my cursor is jumping around.

    The disadvantages are

    (1) I think that it has installed software to follow me and sent me things I don't want - ads, etc. There are plenty of games AMD announcements. I had to click "send me your stuff ' to continue the installation.

    (2) it has installed a program called M that WinPatrol alerted me. I had to accept such would not continue with the installation.

    (3) it installed MS Visual C++ 2013. I always leave MS comes out / update these. I can't understand why the AMD has installed and wonder if the next MU will change.

    So my question is why HP say does not need to update anything?

    I think this reinforces my another question here

    PS * beep *. An exclamation appeared on my HP Support Assistant icon. OFF to check something else struck dead.

    New Envy 15-AH151sa
    More old Compaq Presario CQ71-320SA screwed up by free upgrade from Microsoft of Win7 for Win10

    Taffy0872014

    You must run the tool clean AMD as it removes the video drivers.  You will not be able to install drivers to work up to what after the old ones are picked.

    That page is for your MODEL of PC, not for your specific PC, and this list is not for all of the software drivers for this model, updates for your PC.

    You should go to the page in the link and download the new HP Support Assistant: HP Support Assistant. HP® Official Site

  • Envy 15-k220nr: updated Intel 3160 AC card card Intel 7260 AC?

    Hi-

    I'm in the same boat as some other people and try to get the clearer a possible answer, before I move forward - I have a HP Envy 15 k220nr supplied with the intel 3160 1 x 1 AC card.  I want to spend at least an AC 2 x 2 card, if this isn't a 3 x 3, to get the best possible rates of my AC1900 router.  The safest bet on the outside using a USB 3.0 adapter external (which would be cumbersome and problematic) seems to be the Intel 7260 AC 2 x 2 card.

    Does anyone do this?  He settled without much trouble?  It worked once installed?  Have you seen a significant difference in speed?  No problem with the new card?  Tips for the installation?  Have been able to confirm the K220NR you had two sons of internal antenna to support a card 2 x 2 (or, and I doubt that I have this chance, it has 3 antennas)?  Please let us know - I want to upgrade, but to be sure it will work above all order and completely disassemble the laptop again (I already did once to install a 500 GB Samsung 850 EVO SSD and there wasn't a ton of fun).

    Also, to you or anyone else to pay attention, because I'm going to open the laptop anyway, is there a reason I shouldn't update the RAM at the same time?   It seems that the laptop supports the DDR3L 1600 ram; I think the upgrade from 8 GB to 16 GB - any anticipated problems with this, everything will work the RAM or is there a white list, is there a reason I should avoid it (above the RAM being the most difficult thing to access during dismantlement of this model)?

    Any help, assistance, information on how it worked for you, things to watch, etc. would be much appreciated.  I look forward to answers to the questions, that I have not like or thoughts in general about this.  Thank you!

    -Dan

    HP Envy 15-k220NR

    Intel i7 4720MQ

    8 GB RAM

    500 GB Samsung SSD 850 Evo

    I can now confirm that the adapter Intel Wireless AC7260 sector works PERFECTLY in a HP Envy 15t, specifically an HP Envy 15-k220nr (4720MQ plant, 8 GB of Ram, Intel i7 installed Intel Wireless 3160 adapter).  It works with Windows Pro 10 x 64 great - I can't speak for Windows 7/8/8.1 that I updated before installing (which I recommend), but I expect that it works on Windows 8/8.1 for sure and probably on Windows 7 without problem.

    I bought the card on Amazon; the model is "Intel network 7260.HMWG. R' - the. R is important because it is a revised version of the chip with improvements on the original.  It is, by the Intel reports, the same card SKU 7260.HMWWB. R - different SKUS simply represent different packages.  Check it out at: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MV3N7UO

    At the time I did, the cost of the card was $26.50.  It is a Mini PCIe card, which is the type of the computer used.

    It's a surprisingly simple upgrade.  I have simply shut down my computer, which has been already upgraded to Windows Pro 10.  As with all facilities, follow control measures for static (white room, wrist band), that screws follow-up go where (easier in this case because they are mostly identifcal when disassembly of the machine) and general practices for the maintenance of a system.  I would not recommend this upgrade is done by an amateur - it's a more complex installation, since you need to access the motherboard and remove the housing rather than simply to open a port on the underside of the computer.  That said, for having to open the base unit, it is a process very easy (relatively speaking) with this laptop.  It is useful that the repair is very complete.  Be careful, because if you are not an authorized service provider and your computer is under warranty, you may void your warranty by opening the machine.  In addition, don't forget to keep the old card to allow you to reinstall and restore your computer to care factor if you need to send in warranty repair or want to sell it but keep the new card.

    It took my about 20 minutes to take it apart, install, test and go back.  Before you BEGIN, download the new drivers, you'll need - HP drivers are working, great and I always go with the current manufacturer on the OEM drivers drivers when possible because they are often optimized for the system.  You can also download download.intel.com drivers, but I would recommend get the driver WLAN wireless network current HP download page (http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-ENVY-15-Notebook-PC-series/7527530/model/7685078#Z7_3054ICK0KGTE30AQO5O3KA30R1).  This card, looking for the same drivers regarding the AC-3160 card because they use the same drivers.  Download the TWO the WLAN and Bluetooth drivers - to date, the drivers have been updated on 15/10/15 and are:

    • Bluetooth of Intel driver, version 18.1.1525.1470 [email protected]
    • Intel Wireless Driver, version 18.12.0.3 Rev.P

    After downloading the drivers, put them on your desktop or somewhere else easy access that you will need them as soon as you restart the installation and the wireless NOT work initially, following so if you do not have the drivers you have given to get them through a wired connection or another computer.

    I disassembled the machine by the Service Manual (http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04510889).  Remove the battery and basic housing, disconnect the cables in water for the fingerprint sensor, the mouse and the keyboard and back on top of the basic coverage and put it against the monitor.  BE CAREFUL - this shifts the center of gravity of the computer and makes the computer to tip backward as I learned when I got mine from flipping back off of the table, I was working on - just be careful.

    After opening to the top of the enclosure, installation is incredibly simple.  The WLAN card is located at the back of the computer to the Middle - back where the hinges of the screen connect computer, centered between them.  You just pop off the two wireless antennas (YES - this laptop, despite the expedition with AC only 1 x 1 wireless card options, IT has two antennas installed at the factory, so it can support fully a card 2 x 2), then remove the screw from the card in place.  The map is displayed; bring him back (help little fingers - I have big hands and it was difficult because card is pressed against the back of the case) and pop out.  Insert the new card, tap it down, screw and reattach the antennas, making sure that the wire connected to the 'hand' on the original card is connected to the 'hand' on the new map, and the wire of "to THE" relates to "to THE.  On my computer, the black wire is the main antenna, the gray wire was the second antenna.

    If you're like me, after installation, you can set reconnect the keyboard/mouse/finger print sensor and reboot the machine before screwing everything together to make sure it works.   Just be careful if you do this.  When you restart, wireless will not work.  Run the installation programs for the drivers that you downloaded at the beginning of the year - I found install the dirver wireless, then bluetooth driver works better.  After installation and reboot, everything should work fine, including bluetooth.  I have had absolutely no problem with everything to work.

    Now the fun part: performance.  The map is hands down more quickly then the motherboard.  2 x 2 MIMO broadcast practically double your performance to download (assuming you have at least to AC1200 router that supports speeds of that card is).  I use an ASUS AC1900 RT-AC68U, a great router is worth every penny.  Speedtest.NET, my laptop on the wireless now easily continues with my internet service 60MBPS, going as fast as my wired connection (with the old card, he maxed out at around download 50MBPS; with the new card, it uses bandwidth full, closer to 70MBPS for us.)  Download speeds were around 4, 5-5 Mbps, to be expected in view of our internet service.

    File transfers are literally about twice as fast as prerequisites for the upgrade.  I supported sustained more than 8 Mbps download speeds when there are about 40 feet from the router with 3 walls and other elements of the way.  File transfer speeds are great, more 40MBPS transferring files to my NAS, compared to close to 20 with the original map (also from 40 feet with 3 walls and other obstacles).

    Overall, the performance is much better that the original card, as expected, the installation is simple and quick, and everything works perfectly.  I highly recommend this upgrade.

  • Windows 8.1 update questions about the Satellite P870 - PSPLFA

    Hello

    For the better or worse over the weekend, I downloaded windows 8.1 on a toshiba laptop (model PSPLFA p870) that was running windows 8. Graphics card is NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 630 M 2 GB with Optimus + Intel® HD Graphics 4000

    http://www.MyToshiba.com.au/support/computers/satellite/p870/psplfa-019001/specifications

    couple of questions:

    (a) I'm having some trouble to make windows 8.1 works fine on this laptop and cannot get/find new drivers on the toshiba site to properly adjust the video card.

    Any ideas how or where I can download video drivers that are suitable for this laptop?
    Too eager not to uninstall and go back to windows 8, now that I went that day...

    I have a call yesterday with microsoft yesterday which seems to go nowhere to fix one or two other things after this upgrade.

    (b) on the windows 8.1 machine my internet connection when running IE11
    seems now a little flaky and suspect that it is a matter of 11/windows 8.1 internet explore (other laptops on my wireless network running windows 7 and XP work fine and do not abandon their studies and can access all the info I can't get on the machine win 8.1) which seems to be a bit a common issues by looking at some other forums and

    (c) I can't download or open files from google docs (screen freezes right most of the way through the download) on the 8.1 update windows machine.

    Any help appreciated,

    Holly2

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    While the PC is sleep/hibernate, no change will come. The PC is basically turned off and a very small amount of current is used.  When you wake up the rear machine, it will be available again.

    However, if the screen is off and that the PC is still running, then the changes will be.

    Hello

    You should not have to replace your WIFI adapter.  It should be compatible with your new router as multiple bands should be available.

    I suggest that you configure communications WIRELESS "n" and see if you are having a better flow. Don't forget that the wireless signal a very weak signals will not produce the best performance.  Your ISP service may need to be increased depending on the speed you want.

    If you are not satisfied with performance "n", then you can consider this Intel WIFI card.  The sides of the user looks fine.

    Thanks for posting on the forum.
