HP Envy 700-430qe PC: Installation of SSD

I just bought a HP Envy 700-430qe PC and want to install a new 256GB Solid State drive.
(1) can I just use the factory reset HP recovery option to install OEM Windows 8.1 on this operating system? Since the splash screen?
(2) otherwise, what happens if I first install Windows 7 on SSD? I could then use the HP factory reset to clean install Windows 8.1? From the desktop?
(3) or could you point me to a tutorial on installing a SSD using the OEM 8.1 operating system?

Apparently, many people have this issue, but I can't find an answer with a reliable consensus.

Hello

You can use the external HP recovery media to install a new factory on the SSD system. It is the recommended approach.  Just follow the posted HP recovery procedures.  These extra HP posted articles will also be beneficial.  Read these articles before beginning the process.  Maybe twice would be wise.

    Hi there @BobMarley

    I understand you are looking for assistance for the recovery of the BIOS by using the shortcut, or by using a USB key. I'm happy to help you with this.

    Here are two documents for you to check. Of course, the first is specific to desktop computers and covers the shortcut key. The other property that for laptops also includes a section on the use of a USB device.

    Desktop HP - BIOS recovery

    HP Notebook PC - restore BIOS

    Also on the support forums, there is a process described by @HaggisCat, you can find of use in the preparation of a USB flash drive. You will need to have the correct BIOS softpaq to go with it.

    At the time I'm posting, there are few maintenance forum, so I can't find the correct file, but it should be found here under the BIOS of the page section software and drivers: HP ENVY - 700-430qe CTO desktop

  • Want to 700 * 430qe: install the cache disk on Envy 700-430qe

    I have a 700-430qe with a MSI MS-7826 version want a motherboard that I can't get a 64 GB msata half board to work into the tiny slot.

    He currently works very well with the small wireless card install, but not with a surfboard msata in.  I am wanting to use the housing as a cache drive instead of wireless.

    Has anyone else experience this problem?  And also, no I want to switch to the DSS, I want just the mini slot to work with a mini ssd.

    This can not make any sense, but the problem was that I must have no less than 200 MB of unallocated space at the end of my main hard drive which will be accelerated.

    After that I did the software suddenly gave me the option as it is supposed to.  I left the unallocated space just in case there remains open for some reason any.   I was surfing the net and someone else had the same problem and it's the soluton.  The only thing is that no reason was as to why do or why it works.

    If you can understand that you could let me know cause he shouldn't have made all the difference.

  • HP Envy 700-430qe: question to downgrade HP Envy 700-430qe operating system

    This computer came with windwos 8.1 and to be honest, I hate it.  This model can downgrade to windows 7 if I have a few copies of this House, or can I get a HP disc with this system and drivers and what not... sent my bigest most question is are there drivers for this material available for windows 7 for this computer.

    J6N60AAR is the spicific product number.

    HP has no Windows 7 drivers for this unit.  Make them can be a challenge.

    Don't forget to create the external HP recovery media before doing anything.

    Update the BIOSon your PC and get your PC stable if need be.

    You have a PC delivered W8.  Did you check with HP and see if you have downgrade rights?

    Consult this publication of the article.

    If you still wish to go forward with Windows 7, then you can get the drivers of thissimilar model.

    No guarantee that they will work.

    Be careful when using Windows 7 disks that you have around your House.  If the license key has been used on other computers, then you will not be able of their.  A key, a single computer.

    Instead of going through what do not make look like Windows 7:

  • HP Envy 700-430QE: black screen after log on

    My computer updated something and required a reboot.  Before rebooting, I had inadvertently downloaded Strong Signal.  After removing the signal strong, I rebooted my computer.  I had the logon screen and connected.  The screen went black without tiles, icons, start button or any Visual (QC) I used Ctrl-alt-del to access Task Manager.  In the Task Manager, I was able to access various programs, including my google browser.  However, I have no access to the start, a victory 8 tiles or office.

    I'll probably have to try a restore of the system however I was hoping there is a more simple/fast solution if this has happened to others.

    Hello

    You are welcome

    Just to confirm, was the entry that you found Binkiland?

    If that corrects, I would suggest AdwCleaner download from the following link to clear the files - save it in your downloads folder.

    https://toolslib.NET/downloads/finish/1/

    A once downloaded, close all programs, open your download folder and double-click the application to run it (click Yes to any uac prompt).

    Click the scan button.

    When the results are displayed, click the Clean button - when you are prompted to restart, click Ok.

  • HP Envy 700-430QE: the BIOS changes made by windows 8.1 without my knowledge

    I am currently having dual boot in my office so that I can login to 8.1 Windows or Ubuntu Linux. Everything works well except something very strange is happening. In my BIOS - boot order through Windows. Even if I load ubuntu first, then Windows boot loader. First time it works... it over ubuntu... later if I opt to go for windows... windows simply modifies this sequence such that windows boot manager will be loaded first, then ubuntu... whereas if I opt for ubuntu it works normally.

    It seems that windows does not want to live in peace with other operating systems.

    Windows should not update the BIOS settings in the first place.

    Background:

    I installed Ubuntu LTS 14.04 on a partition of an external drive connected to my HP desktop computer.

    Secure boot is disabled; QuickStart is disabled; Legacy boot is disabled. When I boot Ubuntu and reboot into Ubuntu, grub-efi allows me to choose if I want Ubuntu or Windows. However, if I go back to Windows and restart, Windows always changes my boot order, placing ubuntu last in the list. I have to always manually change my settings for UEFI and put Ubuntu on Windows, if I want to come back to Ubuntu. This seems to be too much work. Is it possible to keep windows do this?

    Working with HP for the past 2 days... all... tried re-installing Linux and Windows too but no help. HP support trying to find an excuse so they can find some basis does not help me.

    AshuSharmalnia, welcome to the forum.

    I don't know why this is happening.  However, I strongly suggest you to use a second drive for Ubuntu.  I double started with Ubuntu for years; never with Win 8.1.  I found that by using a second drive for Ubuntu solved all my problems similar to what you are experiencing.  In addition, www.ubuntuforums.org is a must for all those who use Ubuntu.  The members are extremely useful and not very well know the operating system.

    Note: This is not normally a problem dealing with the HP Customer Service.  They deal with software and HP components.

I needed this system running and had no time to wait than the lead time of him having returned repaired, about 7-10 days. Yes, it was a huge mistake that has made this system essentially unusable. I did not like the unit running windows 8.1 because it was not a touch screen. I got a new Windows 7 Pro, which I installed it and he posted fine and oots upwards in seconds. No audio beats, but it's not really my thing, no biggie.

  • HP ENVY 700-406: overheating CPU

    I have a HP Envy 700-406 with an A10 - 7700 k and a GTX 750ti graphics card.  When I am gaming, making a video, or any other task intensive CPU, HWmonitor reports time in the range of 95 c.  I know that it is extremely dangerous to operate a processor at this temperature, but the BIOS doesn't even crawls any fans when the cpu is this hot.  No idea why?

    @Wheatfield, welcome to the forum.

    The first thing I would do is update the BIOS.  Here is the page HP Software and download driver for the motherboard.  There are three available updates.  You must use the update SSID: B 2 17 motherboard.  Here is what solves the update:

    Fix and improvements:

    -Improved CPU fan curve.

    -Fixed issue where information "Data Execution Prevention" incorrectly show under OS Windows 7 after you disable "Data Execution Prevention" in the BIOS Setup Menu.

    -Improved security of the UEFI and variable code. HP recommends strongly quickly transition to this update to BIOS version which supersedes all previous versions.

    NOTE: Due to security changes, after installation of this update of the BIOS, previous versions cannot be reinstalled.

    The first point, it's what can help solve your problem.  You should be extremely careful to follow the instructions when you perform the update.  A failed BIOS update can brick your computer.

    The next step is to download one of the many applications that will allow you to adjust the speed of the CPU fan.

  • Want to 700-329: how to switch from windows 8.1 for al profession windows 7 on Envy 700-329

    I'm fed up with the problems resulting from Windows 8.1, for example the program incompatibility, Slow / no response in browsers, particularly IE 11, forced to use touchscreen interface style on conventional monitor and so on and so forth. I have a license of Windows 7 Professional 64 bit for my Dell Vostro laptop. Can I use it on my HP Envy Office 700-329 to replace Windows 8.1?

    Hello:

    It is forbidden to transfer the license OEM of Windows or using product key OEM the Dell laptop on HP desktop computer.

    Please read the FAQ below... specifically...

    Q. my client bought a new PC and wants to move the OEM software from the old PC to the new. Users cannot do what they want with their software?

    A. no, the OEM software is licensed with the computer on which it was originally installed and system is linked to the original machine. OEM licenses are licenses for single use which cannot be installed on more than one computer system, even if the original machine is no longer in use. The 3668Microsoft Software License Terms, that the end user must accept before using the software, say that the license may not be shared, transferred or used concurrently on different computers. System integrators must provide support to the end user for the Windows license on build computers, they cannot support licenses on computers that they did not build. It is a fundamental reason why an OEM System Builder license cannot be transferred.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/OEM/en/licensing/sblicensing/pages/licensing_faq.aspx#fBid=Q44RMvZYHTG

    If you want to buy a license support and installation of W7, you can use the W7 x 74 drivers and the software of this model on your own, except the BIOS and firmware files.

  • HP ENVY 700-210xt: how to reinstall after upgrade windows 10

    I bought a HP ENVY 700 - 210xt delivered with Windows 8.1 and included a recovery for the same partition.  At one point last year, I used the free update of Microsoft to take the system up to 10 Windows.  As far as I know, it has no effect on the recovery partition.  Now, I met a hard drive problem, where the system will not start or recover.  My hypothesis is that I need to reinstall from scratch, but I have some problems.

    • If I order the HP recovery discs, they will be for Windows 8.1, but not my upgrade to Windows 10 invalidated the original license key?
    • If I get somehow 8.1 Windows reinstalled with the original key, can I still the free update me for Windows 10 of Microsoft?  I guess that their records show that I've already updated.
    • If I can't get this path to work, is there a direct way to return to Windows 10?  As part of the upgrade, I've never seen a new license key, but maybe it was and I never saw him.

    Thanks for any help!
