• HP 15: Switch to the SSD

  I want to change the SSD hard drive, but I'll always be able to use the version of windows OEM?

  I heard that the key is on the BIOS?

  Hello:

  You should be fine as long as the hard drive you buy is not much smaller than the one supplied with your laptop, and you plan to use the disc/card reader of recovery than you did when you got your PC.

  Or, if you have OEM W8.1 installation media.  The product key automatically fills a valid operating system installation.

  I'm about to do it myself.  I bought a HP 350 G1 in February with a 500 GB hard drive and I bought a 240 GB Intel SSD 535.  It was delivered, but I don't him have not yet received.

  I hope that the recovery disks that I made will work on the 240 GB hard drive.

  But the first thing I'll try to see if I can just put the last backup system image I did in Windows on the new SSD, so I can't do a thing to update or reinstall programs, files, etc.

  However, I have the chance to have a real HP W8.1 Pro OEM installation disc where the recovery disks do not work.

  My laptop came with W8.1 Pro demoted to W7 Pro.

  The recovery media that I made was to W7 Pro, but since I intend to switch to W10 anyway, if I have to use the installation of W8.1 on the new SSD disk, it will be fine for me.

  You can also see if doing your own installation of Microsoft W8.1 media will work with the product key in your laptop.

• Switch to the SSD with original recovery software?

  Hello

  I need help in the transition to an SSD. I just bought a desktop PC HP ENVY of h8-1400ew with Windows 8. I'm used to having a system SSD drive, so I would like to switch to him, but keep all the customizations of HP. Actually I'm thinkng to use the original recovery DVD or a partition, but after some research, it seems that during all the years moving to a disk different HARD was almost impossible if the size was smaller. I found someone to go into more detail on these forums and there was a light at the end of the tunnel, he said that the recovery software is able to do this, even if the new drive is smaller, as long as all hidden and recovery partitions mount the new drive. All this should therefore boild down to its size. What size is big enough.

  If anyone has found it's true? HP brought no changes to how it's all done in era of Windows 8? I don't want to shell out $200 to only get the error at the end of the process. Please notify.

  PS. I know there is a workaround solution that involves the cloning of the partition on the drive up, but I don't want to do because it will prevent the correct recovery in the fututre system will be ignore where the scores of recovery are and so on. For now, I would like an automated solution.

  Hello:

  You can see this post where a person has been unable to use a flash drive with the recovery of files on it to install from a HARD drive on a SSD from 120 GB to 500 GB related.

• Switch to the SSD without a bootable usb key or a clone?

  IM wondering if I can install just my ssd and use command-R and restore from an external time machine back up without a usb Bootable os top or make a clone?

  Yes, you can use recovery to Internet if your computer supports. OS X: on OS X Recovery - Apple Support

  I don't think that recovery works, because the recovery partition on your hard drive that will have been deleted.

  After installation of OS X you can use the Migration Wizard of Time Machine. Use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support

  However, it is much easier to clone your existing hard drive using Super Duper or Carbon Copy Cloner.

  If you clone your SSD, you can test it without removing your existing drive.

  You can connect your drive SSD using either an external hard drive like this case OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/Search/Search.cfm?Ntk=Primary&Ns=P_Price%7c0&Ne=5000&N = 6430 & Ntt = on-the - Go + Kit or a USB to SATA cable like this.

  http://www.Amazon.ca/GP/product/B006J2L0ZM?PSC=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detai lpage_o07_s00

  My method of choice would be cloning your hard drive to SSD.

• HP ENVY 17-j101ex - replace the SSD HARD drive

  Hello

  I have HP ENVY 17-j101ex, with the standard configuration: 2 x 1 TB drive HARD 5400 RPM SATA. I want to buy 1 SSD drive and replace the first (boot) hard disk drive. I don't know if it works or not.

  I want to buy a SSD Samsung 840 EVO 250 GB SATA III (MZ-7TE250BW), 2.5 ", dimensions: 100 x 69 x 7 mm

  I have to: 1 x 1 TB HARD drive (as a secondary drive) + 1 x 250 GB SSD SATA3 (as your startup with system disk)

  Is this ok?

  I found some info, that:

  Supports a 6.35 cm (2.5 in) 300 GB or 160 GB SSD (SSD) drive in 7, 0 - mm (. 28 - in.) thick

  Supports 6.35 cm (2.5 in) hard disks to 12.7 mm (. 50-in) and a height of 9.5 mm (. 37 - in)

  Is it not this Samsung SSD too big?

  I also found information on envy 17 series, which:

  Supports the following single hard drive/solid-state drive combination configurations:
  ● 1-TB, 5400-rpm, 12.7-mm hard drive × 1 + 300-GB solid-state drive
  

  and also:

  NOTE: Supports RAID-0 as default for all dual hard drive/solid-state drive combination configurations.
  

  So, first of all should I disable RAID-0?

  Thank you for your help and sorry for my English

  In fact, I have the same model laptop PC series. You will have no problem replacing the mechanical main hard drive with an SSD. The Evo to Samsung 250 Gig is a very good choice. I suggest you get cloning software, put the SSD in the second slot, start from cloning software and copy (clone) the startup disk for the SSD. You'll slim down the contenst of the diskette of starting less than 250 concerts to achieve, but you can store files off to the second disk of 1 TB in the process. There are other ways to do this post if you have any questions.

  Here is a video showing how to install the hard drive.

  https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=wx3dMGXrGCc

  RAID-0 is supported, but you wouldn't want as a second hard drive with an SSD. If your readers are appearing as volumes of letters separated in 'the PC' or 'Computer' then RAID-0 does not exist and you shouldn't have to do any disorder in the BIOS.

• Replacement of the SSD for HP Envy 15-J160!

  Hello! I want to change my hard drive in my HP Envy 15-J160, a new SSD. It will work with any SSD? Anything else I should be thinking? There are no guide for this on my specific model?

  Thank you in advance!

  Here is the Service Manual:

  Manual

  See page 45. Yes, you can replace the hard drive with an SSD. Don't know what your budget may be, but here is a page showing all sizes of Samsung 850 Evo:

  http://www.Amazon.com/Samsung-2-5-inch-internal-MZ-75E500B-am/DP/B00OBRE5UE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&QID=1444600313&SR=8-1&keywords=Samsung+850+Evo+500

  You should get at least one concert 250 and preferably a 500 gig. The old disk can be copied (duplicated) in the new SSD, or you can use the HP recovery discs.

  Simply connect the SSD drive exactly like a hard drive. There is nothing you need to do for the BIOS or anything else unusual. Just plug in, install the software and go.

• HP Envy 15-q: I have to disable my Windows product key before moving on to the SSD? (New beginning)

  Was thinking of switching 5400 RPM for the SSD because I feel its too slow way. I was wondering if I need to disable my Windows 10 key before making a new start?

  CasualRisk

  Hello;

  Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

  I read your post on your question of activation of Win10 and wanted to help.

  In Win10, the product key is stored in the motherboard UEFI firmware.  Because you're not change that, you risk to disable.

  In addition, the activation key is stored on servers for Activation of MS, and that information are NOT linked to the HARD or SDD drive you are using.  I can say this because once I got Win10 works as I wanted, I migrated there a disk HARD of a DDI and nothing has changed - except the performance is much improved!

  Good luck

• Activate the AHCI on ENVY HP dv7-7304tx for the optimization of SSD

  I have a HP ENVY dv7-7304tx now successfully performed an 840 Samsung SSD as drive Evo.

  The second disc is the original disk of spinning.

  Software Samsung magician tells me I need to enable the AHCI (which is not possible in the BIOS) mode to optimize the SSD.

  Does the solution identical or similar to that provided by the link here? :

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-hardware/enable-AHCI-on-HP-envy-dv7-7250us/TD-p/3711316

  There are negative consequences for the rotation disc?

  Yes, the answer is the same for you. The RAID controller fully implements native SATA and is just as good as ahci in the optimization of the performance of the SSD. It will hurt you in any way the second mechanical disc by installing the Intel Rapid Storage program.

  Here is the Service Manual of the 15 WANTED TS J122TX:

  See pages 43 to 48 for more information on the removal and replacement of hard drives, including the WSSD. Your laptop Fortunately for you access to these components. The reader of the WSSD cannot be done in bootable without changes of very high-level software that I will assume that you do not want to try. Even with those that you are technically not the start of the WSSD to redirect to start Windows boot from the primary drive and finish by the WSSD. So basically if you want to run an SSD, penetrates a 500 GB Samsung 850 Evo SSD and remove the MSSD. We then have to reinstall the software on the SSD drive. With an SSD as drive so it is more a reason for the accelerator of the WSSD, but on your model of operating system installation still requires a bit of trickery that storage controller is on RAID and you need to load a driver during installation. After if you want to proceed with this I can be sure that you are interested in before getting into the details.

• I have a HP envy j000 and I installed an SSD.

  I have a HP envy j000 and I installed an SSD. If I look at MYPC, it doesn't have the installed ssd. If I look at the Device Manager it shows the installed ssd. What's new?

  The SSD is probably not formatted and mounted as a drive in the system. In other words, it is empty. Right-click on MYPC and choose manage... go to disk management and find the SSD. Make a new simple volume and ntfs format and then assign a letter reader and you'll be good.

  I recently ordered this ssd sata m2 of amazon, but I'm not sure its compatible with my system - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TGIW1XG?psc=1 & redirect = true & ref_ = oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00.

  Its a Samsung 850 500 GB M.2 3.5 inch SSD Form Factor 80nm.  Can I use in a configuration to double for my laptop with the current 5400 RPM 1 TB HARD drive already in the system?  Or do I have to use one or the other?  Or can I select a smaller SSD storage for a double configuration?  I have to talk to a technician and he said my system does not support a 128 GB ssd and it did not indicate if it is a double or a single disk configuration.  In my view, it is difficult to imaging a new desire to 2015 with an i7 Quad Core skylake 6700HQ processor supports only a meagre 128 GB SSD.  Any ideas on what my system can support?

  I can verify that it works very well. I had HP technology insist that I could use only one hard disk and a maximum capacity of 128 GB. The technicians don't know squat. I use now a configuration double with the operating system and my programs on my 850 m2 sata evo III 500 GB SSD and my data (videos, music and photos) files on the preinstalled 5400 RPM 1 TB HARD drive.

• HP 700-330qe: how to disable or replace the SSD on HP 700-330qe

  Help for my HP 5 months! It kills Me!

  I bought a HP 700-330qe in 2014 from Amazon and just started getting SMART of Windows hard disk errors whenever my computer restarts, telling me that the hard drive failure is imminent. He also tells me to shut down the computer immediately, save it, contact the manufacturer, etc. Never seen it in any PC I owned before. Naturally, I freaked out and did some internet research, discover that it is relatively easy to clone and replace a hard drive. I ordered a new hard drive Western Digital 3 TB of Amazon, a docking station for disc brand cable hard of Amazonia and downloaded the Macrium Reflect free disk management software.

  Items from Amazon arrived in a few days and I got to work making a clone of my one and only hard drive. Clone was made with little problem. Shut down the computer, it opens and replaced the old hard disk with a new one. Start the computer to the top and got the same message on imminent hard drive failure! So I paid more attention to it this time and looked up the model number in the warning message, which was: ScanDisk SDSA6DM - 016 G-1006. I Googled that and found it was the disk solid state drive (SSD) used as a cache to speed up certain operations. Arrgh.

  I stuck my old hard drive in the hard drive docking station and was ready to be cloned partition SSD and all partitions on the hard drive to the hard drive and the removal or at least unplug the SSD drive to get rid of this problem. The software told me that the SSD is shaped as MPR (or something like that) while the main hard drive is formatted as GPT, which are different types of hard drive, formatting, so you cannot copy these different types of partitions on a hard drive.

  So here's my options as I see them:

  (1) I have to either disable the SSD, but I don't know how and I don't know if the computer will always start the same. Windows is partially installed on SSD? I do not know.

  (2) to clone and replace the DSS about the same way I did with the main hard drive. I can get the SSD according to Amazon for $49: Kingston Digital 60 GB SSDNow V300 SATA 3 2.5 (height of 7mm) with adapter Solid State Drive SV300S37A / 60G.

  For the option #2 above, the only problem is that I have no idea where the OEM SSD of ScanDisk is currently installed in my computer! It is in the hard drive cage? I don't see anything else installed there. I thought it was in the cage directly above the hard drive cage, but I think that what I was looking at was the front memory card reader/USB ports. I don't have on CD Player installed and I can see where it is. Help!

  PS: I also downloaded EaseUS Partition Master 10.2 and it allows to analyze the SSD drive. While it was scanning it found 9 bad blocks (on tens of thousands of blocks), but when he finished the analysis it says there is a lot of blocks. For this to happen on an SSD, which is supposed to be more reliable than hard disks of small, to make this so much more aggravating situation. At least, I upgraded my hard drive 2 TB to 3 TB and know now that I can do. Sigh.

  Yes, I had a frusrtrating very experience with HP customer support, even after it was raised to a case manager based in the United States, who called me home. She found no part at all in its computer system and wanted to send me in my whole PC to a service center customer (it was still under warranty) which would take at least 3 weeks. I said no and went forward and the DSS out of my computer. I stopped receiveing the error messages and did not notice a slow down in performance, but went ahead and bought and installed this one, just in case it actually provides an advantage: My Digital 32 GB SSD Bullet Proof (on Amazon for $25).

  As a note to end funny to this drama, about 6 months after my discussion with HP support I describe above, I have randomly mailed an envelope of HP with the exact 16 GB SSD, they said that they didn't in their system. It also included an envelope to return my faulty SSD and a stern note saying if they do not receive the defective item within 3 days my credit card (that I never gave them) would be charged. I threw a long time ago the defective item and just throw it back into a drawer... or maybe that I returned it in the envelope for return of defective product? I don't remember really.

  In any case, it was a horrible customer service experience, and since then I have another HP Envy (my PC 3 year to my son) have a hard drive and video card fail at the same time. I replaced the two after a few problems, but no matter what I do, it can get its setup dual monitor want to work more. I tried several video cards and nothing.

  All of these factors combined caused me write off HP for the future PC purchases. The guys in my company IT say it's the reason why we only buy Dell computers at work (we have hundreds of maintain). They do not use strange pieces like these small SSD cache records, and their parts are standard and easy to replace because of the case. I'll either get a Dell or ASUS as my next PC.
