• HP laptop - 15-ac026tx: RAM UPGRADE

  I have 4 GB of RAM installed. I need to update my RAM. What is the maximum capacity that can hold my laptop and how many slots is there?

  @ancientnotebook

  There is nothing you can do to increase the RAM above 8 GB, and there is nothing more than 8 GB of RAM make for this computer is not better, in any case. You don't tell us what exact processor, so you I guess I was right to say that you have the Bay Trail. It is not possible to buy a bargain laptop and turn it into a street racer.

  @srinivaskrishna

  same thing for you. You don't need or your laptop get memory "Sport". This will probably work, but this type of memory performance was aggressive timings that may make them incompatible. It seems Crucial he recommends for your model laptop so they must be tested. Would have picked up something more plain vanilla, I'm sure it will work.

  No he is the type of hard disk and how it connects, and you have this kind

  

  And an SSD is like this:

  

  See the difference in the interface? It is a kind of hole plug round/square of the thing. I could go on technically on different types of storage controllers and how to optimize the speed of SSD, but the different plug-ins is a killer deal from the outset.

  On what you can do if you want to speed up the hard disk, performance is to find a 7200 RPM hard drive PATA (top photo), which will be much faster than 4200 or 5400 RPM nature, which is probably what has / have. I actually bought a supply of 60 GB 7200 RPM IDE/PATA drives of the laptop that I use in my hobby of refurbishing older laptops. I don't want to sell to a member of the Forum HP (kind of conflict of interest), but I can probably direct you to the place I got them if you will send me a PM.

  My best real advice is that your laptop if it were a car would have the right to have "Antique" plates and is actually just a little newer than some of the 'old' portable in my "vintage" collection The market is very respectful of the buyer and you can get a laptop that will run rings around you for maybe $300 these days and will allow you to use a modern OS with a semblance of security. I don't think not that your could run anything newer than XP.

• My g56 laptop is compatible with the ssd upgrade

  I want to spend my hard drive on my G56 laptop to an SSD. Is this possible?

  Altogether. Any laptop computer or any other that uses a SATA hard drive can work with and benefit from a SATA SSD.

  Ideally, I need the number of entire model, but here is what I think is your Service Manual:

  Manual

  For installation instructions, see page 37. The best and easiest way to do is to use cloning software and a usb Kit of SATA external drive to copy all the contents of the existing on the SSD drive. This is why you must get an SSD at least as large as the amount of data on the drive already more than 20% for comfort. For most people that means getting at least an SSD 240 or 256 and preference a SSD of 500 or 512.

  A 512 GB SSD will put will cost you at least $315 and a 256 will be around $165. Here's a good 256 on newegg.com:

• Laptop: how to make my laptop for one SSD

  Hey everybody,

  I would spend my hard drive of the laptop to an SSD, what are some of the things that I should look for to upgrade successfully, and this may affect my 10 Windows license?

  Thank you

  Bill

  For some people, upgrade a laptop to an SSD can be like diving into the deep end of a pool.

  An SSD upgrade may involve extensive disassembly of your laptop, depending on the model.

  Some models have hard disks that are easier to access than others.

  There are the small, but important detail involving accepting the risk of damaging your computer laptop and breach of warranty.

  You will need to decide if you want to migrate your operating system to the new SSD or perform a new installation of Windows.

  If you have already upgraded the operating system of the Windows 10 laptop, your laptop will have a digital entitlement on license of Windows servers.

  It's the new Microsoft license model that makes a continuous activation of the operating system.

  As part of the installation where you see a box to put the 25 character license activation key, there is a link below that says, I don't have a key.

  

  That's what you need to click to continue installation.

  The type of SSD that will be compatible with your laptop depends on some things.

  The first is how your laptop comes to market.

  The second is that your laptop is an entry level or a top model with advanced features.

  The third is based on these interfaces on the card system of your laptop.

  Your laptop may have only SATA ports or it may also have an m2 or a mini PCIe connector.

  Older notebooks (before 2009) will have only 2.5 possible SATA SSD products as an SSD upgrade option.

  It is also dependent on the interface this SSD on your laptop system board and the type of memory and the controller from that your laptop is compatible.

  Which can be determined in several ways.

  The easiest way I know is to take the guesswork out of the purchase of upgrade.

  Which can be done using the information for one SSD manufacturer whose reputation is based on the provision of accurate information to potential customers.

  Check online on the Web from Crucial.com website to see what they offer as guaranteed products compatible SSD for your notebook.

  With the newer models which are eventually provided with SSD, the Maintenance and Service of Guide disks for each laptop will usually specify what memory and type of SSD drive is compatible.

  The Service Guide which has this information and maintenance lies in the support for your laptop computer portal in the section user guide.

  Use the product number of your laptop + support as keywords in a Google or other search engine search for the portal.

  Memory Crucial site is a great place to find compatible SSD products for your laptop.

  http://www.crucial.com/

  Should what brand of SSD I consider? Take a look at the following article.

  You may be one of the lucky ones who installed the SSD and boots for the installer and everything is going as planned.

  Otherwise, it may not be recognized by the installer of Windows or the BIOS.

  Often, an SSD should be prepared before use.

  Many members frustrated author here threads in the forums after having this experience.

  Hold down the Windows key and press the X key.

  Choose command-line (Admin).

  Type DiskPart and press to enter.

  After the SSD has been prepared and installation began, the Windows Installer will change the drive letter to C: on its own.

  In the image below, the disks 2 and 3 are Samsung m2 NVMe SSD.

  Some laptops 17 inches come with more than one disk.

  Select the disk and using the command list is very important. If not, you could erase the content and the partitions of the disk with the clean command wrong.

  If the SSD has a GPT partition and a drive letter is assigned, it will be recognized by Windows install.

  

  Once the SSD has been established, you can start at your choice of media for a clean install, cloning of the OS migration or a resumption of the plant initiated by the use of the recovery media, that you created.

  Since 2012, computers laptops were shipped with BIOS, UEFI and GPT partitioned the disk rather than the old BIOS and MBR partition style.

  This means that you are using Windows install must also be to format GPT UEFI.

  There are free utilities available, such as RUFUS, which can be used with ISO created by Media 10 Microsoft Windows creation tool to create an installer of 10 Windows USB UEFI.

  For other versions of Windows RUFUS can also be used to create the type of installer of your choice.

• SSD upgrade for Satellite Pro P200 (PSPB7A-01000J) - possible?

  Hello world

  I had a Satellite Pro P200 for 3 years and more. It came with Vista Business pre-installed, but I have successfully installed Windows 7 a few months ago.

  A few months ago, I replaced the C drive in my office with a Solid State Drive and now he sings - program start and loading of the system is much faster than before.

  Now I'm wondering if the SSD upgrade even could be done to my trusty P200 and if yes, what brand/model of SSD could be better. It should be 128 GB or 256 GB maybe.

  Anyone else been in this way? The results? Pitfalls?

  All responses appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Greg.

  Hello

  I think that it should be possible.
  You must use a SATA SSD drive since the laptop supports the SATA controller.
  To be honest, I never tried to upgrade the laptop with a SSD but SSD is not very different from the HARD drive and normally should not be a problem.
  In some cases, an update of the firmware of SSD may be necessary but usually these firmware updates should be available on the SSD drive manufacturer support page.

• 17 - k204tx: SSD upgrade.

  Hi, I have an SSD upgrade on my laptop. I was wondering if my model, a 17-k204tx has a slot m2 on the motherboard and if so, what size m2 cards it will accept? Or do I have to buy a standard 2.5 "disk instead?

  Yes, there a m2 slot. Here is the Service Manual:

  Manual

  It is not easy to access. We had some users to post photos and if I remember correctly it is not necessary to remove and return on the motherboard, but that's what shows the manual. The m2 he uses is the size of SATA 2280 variety.

• W530 - choose what size SSD upgrade strategy?

  I still hesitate between two strategies of size SSD upgrade for my brand new W530.

  1. an (internal) SSD + a HARD drive (internal)

  • Put the original of the ultrabay DVD burner in an external enclosure (connected to the laptop with a USB cable SATA) and use when necessary
  • Put the original Toshiba HDD 500 GB of the main Bay in a shopping cart, then in housing as a backup drive-ultrabay
  • Buy a Crucial SSD m4 (512GB) for the main Bay and use it to drive to OS/programs and road data

  2. two SSDs (internal) + a HARD drive (external)

  • Put the original of the ultrabay DVD burner in an external enclosure (connected to the laptop with a USB cable SATA) and use when necessary
  • Put the original Toshiba HDD 500 GB in an external case (connected to the laptop with a USB cable SATA) and use it as a backup drive
  • Buy 2 m4 Crucial SSD (128 + 256 GB):

  -one in the main Bay as player of OS/programs (128 GB)

  -one in a basket, then in housing ultrabay as data drive (256 GB)

  I also want to let you know that a 512 GB SSD is a little more expensive than a 128 GB SSD + a 256 GB SSD. Also, I like to choose the best strategy of resistance, reliability and durabilty.

  Could you share with me the benefits & disadvantages for both strategies and tell me which is the best strategy for your point of view?

  Thanks for your help,

  Bertrand

  @p1

  I agree with the approach of @eos. I have configured my W520 on the same track. I have an mSATA SSD 256GB (a - Data), with a 750 GB HARD drive in the Bay of primary and a 500GB HDD in the Ultrabay slot.

  The mSATA SSD is my boot device, even if I sometimes start from one of the other disks when testing new configurations.

  The mSATA slot is SATA 2 don't bother me a bit. It's very fast. Sometimes, I put an mSATA SSD in an mSATA to the 2.5 enclosure and run in the Ultrabay SATA 3-speed housing. I'm hard pressed to notice the difference.

  You're better off using a partition of HARD drive for data for various reasons. On the one hand, at least write cycles committed SSDS, longer it will last. Second, if your system partition is lost, your data is still intact. Third, you can save a small partition of data rather than a larger combo partion.

  I love having the flexibility of two open bays using the mSATA offer slot - i.e. I sometimes swap in my optical drive in the Ultrabay slot, etc.

• Envy 15 j000eb: ssd upgrade

  Hello

  I was thinking about upgrading my laptop with an ssd, I looked, and I could (normally) place an msata ssd into the open slot msata.

  I want to put the boot (8.1 64-bit windows) on the ssd (250 GB) and use the standard HARD (1 TB) of storage disc

  My question is: should I have to just the system reeboot and select the ssd as boot station? and use the rebootsoftware of the standard hard drive part? or is it not that simple?

  I have read that you need to do an installation of the software intel? I don't know what to do

  all normal hard disk files are already saved on an external HARD drive, so I can just format the hard drive...

  also I have read that some people have problems with the installation, so before you start any work on my laptop, I want to be sure that it is posible, and I have all what I need to do before you start.

  BTW; is it posible to have my things to the user hard disk and portions of software on the ssd?

  with that I mean, ratings docs, images, downloads, muzik,...?

  welcome them

  The system is not designed to be started from the drive of the WSSD. It is possible, but requires a very advanced configuration by using a bootloader so the laptop starts to boot from the SATA hard drive and then the boot is hands the mSATA. I strongly suggest you just get a regular 2.5 inch SATA SSD and use it for the startup disk.

  You can repair:

• HP Pavilion laptop 2210sa g6: replace g6 computer 2210sa Pavillion laptop original with SSD hard drive

  He currently has a hard drive of 1 TB, I want to replace it with an SSD of 256 GB I don't have a lot of space. This laptop has 10 Windows upgrade and currently active on that. I don't want to clone any data on so I intend to make a gain of 10 DVDs or usb Microsoft Web site installation media. I am told by someone at HP who. This will activate active Windows of the info of the motherboard is NOT disk hard someone else it tells me I have to buy a new copy of details of them, I think that this information is incorrect, please someone could confirm. Also, the procedure with the bios, I know that I have to disable secure boot and enable legacy while booting from the installation media I do need re secure boot activate after or not to worry. I would like to have clarification on this thank you.

  Put the 256 GB SSD in your laptop and use the 10 Windows install media. My understanding is that when your equipment has enabled with Windows 10 on an upgrade of active Windows 7 or 8, you can reinstall a clean installation and activation servers will recognize your hardware and activate.

  You are not limited to hard drives listed in the service manual. This is what HP sold. Just as you can put any tires on a car, not just those offered Chevrolet.
