HP Envy j-126tx: How can I add an mSata SSD while maintaining my original windows

Hi, I want to replace my hard drive with an SSD, but I don't want to lose my original windows and the recovery partition. How can I do so? And another thing I am doing is adding an mSata so that I'll have my hard drives SSD available for use. In this case, how can I transfer my OS to SSD partition?

Hello:

Data sheet: http://support.hp.com/in-en/product/HP-ENVY-15-Notebook-PC-series/5401187/model/6732613/document/c04031360/

First, create USB recovery.
http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03481733

Buy SSD with at least the same capacity (750 GB) from the HARD disk for recovery media to work.

Use recovery media already created to restore factory OS on the SSD after replacement.

Manual - page 45,46 for the replacement procedure:
http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c04091768

Transfer OS to mSATA to make boot drive is a bit complicated and not recommended by HP as the mSATA acts as a cache on the HDD in consumer laptops. Nevertheless, it is a useful sticky in this forum showing some members do with success. You can check:
http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/hardware-upgrades-replacements/HP-envy-17-j017sg-mSATA-amp-2xHDD/TD-p/3517215

You can certainly replace the HDD with SATA SSD. See the manual.

    How can I add a rule of outgoing traffic in ICF for Windows Update?

    Please do not ask me to change the firewall policy. My default policy for outbound connections is 'block '. Many programs to connect to internet without attention users and consumes bandwidth so I limited firewall to block strategy, but the Microsoft Update or the Windows update service is not running.

    Please suggest the creation of a rule of outgoing traffic in "Windows Firewall with advanced security" to allow Windows Update.

  • HOW CAN I ADD MY OWN IMAGE ON THE SCREEN OF WINDOWS 8 START

    Greetings.

    Let's be clear, as clear as I can be without realizing the term Microsoft applies to this new application in Windows.

    When you click Start in Windows 8, there is an image behind the tiles. I want my own image, which is an image from my Gallery, behind the tiles.

    When you click on the charm of settings and select Customize, you are allowed to choose among 20 preloaded images, with 20 being your current desktop image. I would use a still image without making changes to my desktop.

    I can not even find the location of the file for the preloaded images! If I knew where they were stored, I could add my own image library.

    I use a similar technigue to make my wallpapers available for all users: my wallpaper screen images has just moved into the Windows\Web\Wallpaper folder.

    Similarly, I do some of my available desktop themes to all users by copying them in the Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes folder.

    I even load my own sounds in the Windows\Media folder. Thus, all users have access to the sounds I like to use.

    But I can not find the folder where are these images pre-loaded Windows 8 start... AND I don't like these preloaded images, I want to use one of my own!

    How can I change the image of Windows 8 start behind my tiles?

    This is not possible, Mr President.

    You can have transparent so that your background shows through (option 20 as you mentioned it).

    Other components don't cry pictures. They are programming that built graphical objects, a lot as well as additional programming that prompts them to move when you scroll for artistic effect and provide options to change the colors of this product graphic objects programmatically.

    But there is no 'image' to display or replace, because none of those are actually pictures at all.

    I'm sorry.

  • How can I add text floating to a clip? (not a title, floating text that can be moved)

    How can I add floating text? Or is it possible to move the title autour text, how do I do?

    If you can not get the desired effect using the scrolling credits, the Far Far Away or the titles of Ticker,

    the only way that I can think is to create a file with the text you want on a green or blue (outside of iMovie) and put it above a green or blue background element in the timeline panel.  You can then use the image in the photo installation and creation of keyframes to move the text on the background.  See http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.1/#/mova1aaa682b for more details.

    Share/export this file, then import the file and place it above your video clip.  This time, use the blue/green screen so that the text appears on top of your video.  See http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.1/#/mov82da1338a for more details.

    Bulky, but should work.
