HP ENVY 17 t-j100 storage upgrade Question

Hi all

Looking at the 17 t-j100 with these specifications. On sale for July 4 at a nice price. My only hesitation is not being sure what upgrades of storage are simple, feasible and cost-effective in this configuration.

Data sheet:

Hello

1 SSD is cheap worm now. I don't know why many providers still put new machines with HARD 5400 RPM disk. I bought a 960 GB SSD from Crucial for less than $500. It is very good but not the best in terms of price/performance,

2. 16 GB is the way we go with more graphic work,

3. cloning is the best option, it will save a lot of time from top to bottom. Pay about $15 more you can get a package of Crucial and it works very well. There are a few free products of cloning:

  • XPS 15 9550 - Storage upgrade Question

    If I buy a new XPS 15 9550 pre-configured with a PCIe of 256 GB Solid State Drive and the small battery, a HD caddy will be included so that I can add a 2.5 drive "later?

    I found this on Reddit about the second HD.  Kind of a process ridiculous to install something that the machine was made to accept.

    "

    So I only this post to help clear what is involved in the installation of a 2.5 drive "in the new XPS 15. I had the model 9550 with the small 56whr battery and 256 GB PCIE SSD, intending to install a 500 GB 2.5 "Evo 850 for extra storage. Like others, I found the little sata cable to do this, has not been included, so I did a lot of digging for info. I understand that most this info is somewhere out there scattered on other posts, but here's what you need to know in one place:

    1. Models of PCIE SSD of XPS 15 do not come with the cable required to connect a 2.5 drive sata ".

    2. I bought a Dell official cable sata laptop off of Ebay, hoping it would allow me to plug the drive 2.5 "hard. I installed it into the laptop and the fit snug on the motherboard, but with this cable connector is connected, the laptop lights. Numbers of reference cables has been dc02c005s00.

    3. I contacted Dell and they confirmed that I needed a special sata cable (even in the shape and the design that I bought, to be just different wiring) which was designed just for this laptop. The cable you need for a 2.5 drive "is the XDYGX part number.

    4. I contacted the sales parts & accessories Dell, and they placed a special order for this cable. It is not just available on the Dell store, you must communicate with their parts for her Department. They charged me $9.99 for cable, with free shipping.

    Maybe this will help clear up some confusion regarding the necessary cable to add a 2.5 drive to the new XPS 15. Once more the part number of the cable you need from Dell is XDYGX.

    Let me know if you have any questions I would be happy to help you!

    See you soon. "

  • Want 15t_j100 Quad E2E34AV Ed: 10 Windows upgrade failed - blinking display of Envy 15 t-j100 Quad Edition Notebook PC

    Upgrade Windows 10 failed on my Envy 15 t-j100 Quad Edition laptop.

    Symptom after upgrade has been a video exhibition quickly flashing without control of the PC.

    I have to go back to the previous version - Windows 8.1.

    Back with success on Windows 8.1

    Symptoms point to video card problem after updated Windows at level 10.

    My laptop has two, provided by HP online:

    Intel HD 4600 Grapics (internal)

    NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M

    See the research, that Intel and NVIDIA have Windows 10 drivers for these graphics cards.

    Yet immediately when Windows 10 signing after upgrade, the laptop display has been viewed quickly.

    The only way I could get control of the laptop was CTL-ALT-DELETE to start the Task Manager.

    The Task Manager showed that more CPU resources would "host setting synchronization process.

    Called Microsoft Support - they indicate a likely problem with display adapter driver and advised to "go back" and then contact HP support.   called HP Support and they advised to work with Microsoft.  Great!

    Would appreciate recommendations on the way forward for Windows 10.

    Initially I found the 10.18.13.5324 Rev.A-NVIDIA graphics driver.

    I was allowing the HP site automatically detect my curent - Windows OS 8.1.

    When I manually switched OS Windows 10, I see it listed.

    I also see 10.18.15.4248 that place listed for the Intel HD 4600 graphics card.

    Can I install both of these drivers before you upgrade Windows 10?

    Both are supported on Windows 8.1?

    If so, why HP Support Assistant would not have install me the upgrade?

    Am I missing something here?

    Install only the softpaq grahips from Nvidia. It will allow to install the two drivers.

    When I click on the button 'Download' blue, it offers two choices:

    Use HP download and install the Wizard (recommended)

    Download only

    This is the second option that you recommend when you say to use "usb flash drive support? Yes. Create an installer of Flash 10 Windows usb player. This is the second choice option.

    Thanks again for your help!

  • HP ENVY 15 t-j100 Quad Edition: upgrade of the current HARD drive

    I have HP ENVY 15 t-j100 Quad Edition laptop which currently has a 1 to 5400 RPM HARD drive. I'm looking to upgrade to SSD drive and need help with the following responses

    (1) the laptop does support more than 512 GB since the laptop computer maintenance document lists (and does not) support max 512 GB

    (2) any 2.5 SATA 3 SSD should work with the configuration given my laptop as long as its not more than 9.5 mm thick. Please confirm.

    I was chatting and asking for a response for the last month 1 HP support and I have not received a positive response. Forums suggest that capacity any no where like the cat and people on HP customer service gave the following answer.

    The manual list only up to 512 GB because that's all there was when the laptop was sold or just would not be a market for the 1 TB SSD. Not too long ago, they were $7-800 and beyond almost anyone means. But there is no reason that your laptop can not run a 1 TB SSD. Also, you are right. All SATA 2.5 inch wide SSD will work as long as it's not more than 9.5 mm thick. These days, almost all of them are 7 mm. I would recommend a Samsung 850 Evo but there are a lot of good ones out there. We had a set of trouble on the series MX Crucial reports, however.

  • HP Envy 17 t-j100 Quad Edition: product number mismatch

    Hello!

    I'm about to upgrade to Windows 10 and have questions about my laptop.  By my initial order, the number of the product I ordered was E4S82AV, but the HP Support Assistant and the battery compartment that it is E1P14AV. When I touch E4S82AV in the issue of the product on the site Web of HP, no software or drivers are found. I have a matte screen, no touchscreen model.

    Can someone tell me the difference between these two products numbers and why the one I ordered does not appear to exist on the support Web site? It's not touchscreen touch vs?

    I fear that if I need software or driver updates, those under E1P14AV are really suitable for my system.

    For example, I had a problem with an update by HP Support Assistant on my CyberLink PowerDVD software failure (it finally updated OK).  He had several Softpaq SP70823 and this file already exists in my folder in C:\SWSetup.  I checked the support Web site, thinking I would try to download the software from there, but I don't see that listed as an option under E1P14AV sp70823.

    Thank you!

  • HP Envy 15 t-j100: HP Envy 15 t-j100 card system

    Hi all!

    Recently, I brought my laptop looked at / repaired. The local technician told me that my laptop computer motherboard is dead because of the updates of Windows 10 does not well with my old operating system to Windows 7 (originally, my laptop has Windows 7 Home, last July I have upgraded to Windows 10). I started looking for a new replacement system card, however I have a few questions. I watched the maintenance manual for my laptop and can not know what card replacement system is adequate or what they all say. The serial number of my current motherboard in my laptop is 720566-001. I googled this number system and keep find results with 720566-501 and 720566-001 in the title for the same motherboard. Most of the advice I find on eBay also have a number like 720566-501. My question is this: will I be able to use a map of system 720566-501 to replace my current 720566-001 motherboard?

    Additional details:

    -12 GB OF RAM

    -Intel I7 2.2 Ghz processor

    Tough - 1 TB SATA disk

    -GeForce graphics card (not sure what type)

    Hello

    There are dozens (or even hundreds) of models or products HP Envy 15, your computer is a HP Envy 15 t-j100, which is a machine CTO. You can see 720566-501 is for many different models/products:

    http://PartSurfer.HP.com/search.aspx?SearchText=720566-501

    for your machine, its number is 720566-001. 720566-001 and 720566-501 can be VERY similar but not identical.

    Please see Intel® Core™ i7-4700MQ processor to verify that the processors installed in this series of computers support Intel VT - x. As the 17 t-j100 series is the big brother of the series of 15 t-j100, they use most of the same material and the same BIOS.

  • HP ENVY 17 t-j100 Leap Motion QE Notebook PC Port HDMI highest video resolution

    What is the maximum video resolution that can be supported with the HDMI output of the GeForce GT 750 M graphics card? I get a new "HP ENVY 17 t-j100 Leap Motion QE Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR)" as a guarantee of replacement for an older PC and new PC has only a HDMI connector for an external monitor. The GeForce GT 750 M graphics card will come with 4096 MB memory installed in it.

The entrance to the Asus monitor is HDMI version 1.4. As I understand it, if the PC's HDMI output is version 1.3 or later, it should be able to handle up to a 2560 x 1600 resolution monitor.

    I received my replacement 'HP ENVY 17 t-j100 Leap Motion QE Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR)' PC and found that I was able to use my monitor 27 '' Dell in its resolution full 1920 x 1200 with a HDMI to DVI cable - D.
