Here is the Manual:

Repair manuals

See p. 40-42. There are two hard drive bays. You have a 1 TB drive 5400 RPM in one and the other is empty.

All you need to do is get an SSD. I recommend the Samsung Evo 850:

You need this second adapter bay:

Move the old primary hard disk in the second Bay and the SSD in the main Bay. This will start since the SSD drive. You can make a Windows recovery disk and use it to install Windows on the SSD. Post back if this is not clear.

    Hello

    I'm having a problem when adding an extra mSATA SSD for my HP Envy 1002tx model.

    The laptop comes with a 500 GB HARD drive and I see that there is a 2.5 "mSATA SSD slot under the HARD drive, so I bought the same type of SSD and installed it but when I turn on the laptop, it does not introduce yourself. I don't know why?

    I'm really sorry, I could not find this before, but the slot under the hard drive is not compatible with the mSATA disks. It's for WWAN modules! Your laptop is not like 4 I thought, but Envy 14 equipped with the first generation of Intel processors. Envy 14-Sandy Bridge 2000 series could be BIOS modded to make the miniPCI-e interface works with the mSATA disks but Envy 14-1000 series is not possible to change.

    I'm having a hard time finding information about the model you posted. Are you sure you typed it correctly? If you had Windows 8 initially I can link you to an OEM restore disk image. You can also clone the existing overhead for the SSD drive, but you should get a pretty good SSD size to make. You can also use the HP revovery DVD made from the HP Recovery Manager or you can rstore from a backup of Windows System.

    Hey there everyone.

    I would like to know if it is possible to replace the hard drive installed SSD (8 GB) on my Hp envy 15-k009ne. The problem is that he is very much in quality and appear to be limited to the default files of hp. I have a few questions:

    1. is it possible to replace? If not, is it possible to replace the other hard drive (1 TB, 5400 RPM)?

    2. What size (actual size and capacity, I mean) or number/model should I buy?

    Thank you.

    PS sorry if this is a recurring question. I must be sure before that I could buy another SSD drive which is quite expensive!

    The specifications of your laptop do not indicate that you have an SSD. You may have a hybrid drive that has a cache of flash 8 GB built-in player for faster access, but this isn't a separate volume that holds its own files, just a different part of the reader. HP sold never, to my knowledge, laptops with an 8 GB SSD. You probably also a HP recovery partition on your hard drive. According to the specifications, the hard drive only your machine is a 1 to 5400 RPM mechanical hard drive standard.

    See p. 66 of the manual here:

    Manual

    Unfortunately, access to the hard drive Bay is very difficult and forbidden to an end user. In other words, it will jeopardize the warranty. If you are past the warranty and want to remedy let us know. You can replace the mechanical drive with a 2.5 inch SATA SSD and your laptop will be much faster if you do. There is also a slot of the WSSD m2 on the laptop, to complicate things more, but use it to add a SSD and boot of it is even more difficult. Have any kind of SSD in laptop computer that is not the boot drive make not much sense. However, if you want to explore the option of WSSD m2 we are here to help.

  • Can I use the recovery discs HP on a new SSD for HP Envy Windows 8?

    Hello

    I've owned my TouchSmart from HP ENVY 15 - j105sa Notebook PC, Ref. F5D08EA for a few months now and I would like to upgrade to an SSD Samsung Evo 840 (500 GB) HARD drive.

    I use the recovery disks that I created when I got the laptop to install the OS on the new SSD? I know that I could do it with previous versions of Windows, but with secureboot etc I do not know if this can be done with Windows 8, I know, it can be disabled in the BIOS, but I have the latest bios update for my laptop that I check regularly.

    Thanks for any help.

    The method the most painless way to do is to buy the new SSD as a migration kit.

    Migration kits are delivered with a USB to SATA data\power connector and cloning software.

    Recovery and recovery usb media discs games requires that the target disk is the same size or larger than the original. In using the method of migration (cloning) will show that a problem.

    It makes you, thank you.

    Lol when this laptop was sold solid state drivers were exotic things and one concert 160 cost of a King's ransom. It was the largest offered HP, not a hard limit. They are more reasonably priced now. The best consumer SSD is a Samsung 850 Evo and I would at least get a concert from 480 to 512.

  • 750 - 177C envy: addition of Samsung SSD for envy 750-177C

    I just bought a HP Envy 750-177c. I have it operational and it works very well. I had installed a Samsung 850 EVO SSD in my old computer and now want to add to it. I have an external cloning device that I can plug it into the computer and launch the software from Samsung to clone the HD HP. Once this is done, I will be able to add the SSD to the drive Bay and make the boot drive. I did all these steps with my old computer, so I think that it will be substantially the same with the RESUME. I wonder if there is any change in the BIOS, that I should do to get the best performance from the drive. I also heard AHCI. Is selectable via the BIOS with Windows 10, or do I have to make some changes by Reg Edit? I need to download a driver AHCI? Is this useful?

    Thanks for the tips.

    Robb

    Hi @RobbL!

    When it comes to SSD, I suggest you to activate the AHCI because it often improves performance when it comes to SSDS (and not only - if you are running an SSD and a HARD disk HARD drive will get some push), and it offers a few additional features like connection hot records.

    You can activate it by following these steps:

    * Let the connected existing boot drive.
    * Go to MSCONFIG and set the PC to boot in safe mode.
    * Power cycle your PC all the way to the top in safe mode then power down in safe mode.
    * Turn on and boot into the BIOS and enable the AHCI and disable secure boot. Save the changes.
    * Restart your PC. If OK at this stage then return to MSCONFIG and uncheck start safe mode and save the changes.
    * Turn on your PC and if OK then power off.
    * Connect the new SSD and power upward.
    * Use the cloning software to clone the old disk on the new SSD.
    * Switch off the PC. Disconnect the old drive and plug the new SSD in this SATA port.
    * Lights up and you should be good to go.

    Regarding the drivers, you can take a look at this article from HP on the SSD:

  • 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 J 048 tx: mSATA SSD for HP Envy 15 J 048 tx

    Hello!

    I have a HP Envy 15 J048-tx. I want to add an mSATA SSD on my PC and be able to boot from it all by using the HARD drive as internal storage device only. The goal is to make the system run faster (overall and games).

    I don't want to change the HARD drive as more large SSD storage capacity are quite expensive and adding an mSATA as disk startup seems to be a cheaper alternative. Current storage capacity of the PC is 1 TB and a 1 TB SSD will fix me by about 34 000 INR (which is a lot), while adding a 250 GB mSATA is about 7-8 000 INR and 500 GB is 12-13 000 INR. Already, I have a lot of external hard drives and do not want to reduce the storage capacity of integrated system, because that would be to buy more external hard drives.

    The PC came with Windows 8. Other details are

    1. Motherboard: Intel HM87 (revision of Southbridge - C2), 1963 HP (U3E1)
    2. BIOS: F.65
    3. Intel Core i7 4700MQ
    4. Storage: SATA-II 3.0 Gb/s
    5. RAM: 16 GB DDR3

    The product manual indicates this (pg 5 or pdf pg 13): Support for SSD drive 24-GB mSATA (not available on computer models with memory system 16834 - or 12288 MB)

    Contact HP support on twitter and got this response from there : supports 24GO mSATA (not available on models with 16834-MB system memory or 12288 MB) this should work, but the HP recovery media may not work to install, it may fail, the portion of due to the small size of disk partitioning.

    There seems to be an empty slot for the mSATA, but I can't remove the lid more as I don't have the tools for the same. (pictures attached)

    This post on the HP Support says that - the mSATA cannot be used for the operating system and that it is for the acceleration of a regular mechanical hard drive.

    Then there was this post for HP envy 15-j003tx touchsmart which mentions that it is possible to do it with a link on Laptopmag article for the same thing that got me a little confused.

    I also checked with my digital discount and the PC is not listed in the list of compatible devices. However, after going through the comments, I found there were people with any queries similar to me (but for different computers HP) and found this disc , which seems to be compatible. I thought I'd go with 128 GB one but don't know not then sought more. Then I scanned the PC using crucial.com and found these discs to be compatible too (250 GB & 500 GB).

    My questions:

    1. My PC is compatible with most mSATA SSD storage size?
    2. If so, that we go? 500 GB we have any extra advantage or a 256 GB disc will solve the purpose?
    3. The steps mentioned in the article of laptopmag need any changes?

    Images of the system after the opening of the back cover (1 & 2):

    You can add something big, but for 24 concerts for acceleration purposes are sufficient. If you can't find a 24 concert, you can use a 32. Any more than that would be wasted for pure acceleration. The accelerator contains the contents of the memory for a quick recovery from his sleep and also holds start-up files and then the .exe files for the programs that you frequently open like saying the browser or email.

    You can use a larger disk, repeat a 64 or 128 and let the Intel Rapid Storage create say a 30 GB partition for acceleration. The partition of the accelerator is not ntfs, or anything else Windows can be used as a storage device. You can then use the rest of the disc as a storage called disk formatted FAT32 or ntfs. If you do something like Photoshop or video editing it would give you a place to put work files that could be accessed and processed very quickly. But you can not use this partition as a startup or a Windows partition and it would take much diligence to prevent fill.

    If you decide to take the post of reader of acceleration from the establishment requires a configuration that is not totally intuitive.

  • Want to 15 t Touch: question M.2 SSD for HP Envy 15 t Touch (model 15 t-ae100)

    I ordered the HP Envy 15 t Touch (model 15 t-ae100) with the i7 processors and 4 GB of memory graphic discreet. The Maintenance and Service Guide accurate that there is a slot available for one SSD m2.  From what I can tell, it's a SATA 3 (not mSATA or PCIe) slot that will be a 2280 SSD card.  Three questions:

    1. where did the m2 slot located on the motherboard?  Adjacent to the wireless network adapter?

    2. is there a screw included on the motherboard for the SSD m2 card?

    3. any compatibility likely questions if I get the EVO of 850 Samsung 500 GB m2 (MZ-N5E500BW)?

    Thank you very much

    Hello @space_thread,

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems, with the help of the community!

    I stumbled upon your post on the SSD question and wanted to help!

    The m2 slot seems to be located next to the memory Modules.  There is a Phillips PM2.0x3.50 screw that secures the SSD to the system board.  Your product supports the following SSD:

    SSD (m2) drive

    256 GB - 812708-001

    128 GB, 2280 M2 - 829985-001

    128 GB (Best Buy SKUs) - 820547-001

    Therefore the 500 GB m2 will be not compatible.  I hope this helps.

    I don't think so. The only problem, what could happen is that the recovery disks don't work because the original hard drive was too big. However, this is not a problem. You can perform a new installation using the original version of Windows and the product key from the sticker on the laptop. In this case do not activate it online but wait for an activation message (activate by phone) who wakes up early after the new installation.
