HP pavilion n242se 15: I want to change to SSD HARD drive in my laptop

Hello

I have the computer hp laptop pavilion 15-n242se.
can I change to SSD HDD in my laptop?
and what kind of SSD is the best for my laptop?

Yes, you can do but see p. 59 of the manual here:

Repair manuals

You might be surprised to see that this is not a simple procedure, but it will work if you replace the HDD with a SSD in the hard drive compartment.

You need a width of 2.5-inch SATA SSD. Like this:

  • I want to add a second hard drive for my Pavilion Elite HPE 410f. Recommendations?

    I want to add a second hard drive for my Pavilion Elite HPE 410f. Recommendations?  Somewhere in the 320 to 500 GB range and I want a quick unit because it will be used for rendering videos.    Thank you for your response.

    Hello

    How fast is fast is the real question.

    Have you looked at hybrid drives OCZ? Expensive but probably the fastest option.

    Seagate also made a hybrid hard drive.  Good price... You will need a 3.5 "to 2.5" support if the player does not support.  If you install the drive in an empty optical Bay then you will need a 5.25 "to 2.5" support.

    Your other choice is 7 200 or 10 000 rpm traditional hard drives.

    Another option would be to add a PCI sata and two external hard dirves configured in RAID 0.

  • Pavilion 15-n070sw: is it possible to upgrade a hard drive in this model?

    Hello

    I have a Pavilion 15-n070sw (no longer under warranty) and was wondering about upgrading my drive ssd hard drive. However I noticed some users report problems of compatibility between this model and ssd drive (+ there is no option to set the AHCI mode in the BIOS settings...). Because I don't want to invest in a reader, that I won't be able to use, I wanted to check here - this model will support an SSD?

    Thank you very much in advance for clearing that for me!

    M

    Yes it will absolutely accept an SSD. There is no need to mess with the BIOS as the definition of only for storage controller's ahci. Could not set it to something else if you want. Windows 7 and above will simply TRIM and NCQ which is what you need for the optimization of the SSD. A lot of tutorials out there comes from another era, when it was harder to get a job of SSD. Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    Pages 63-70 are the 'how' to remove the top cover and replace the hard drive with a 2.5-inch SSD SATA. I can recommend a Samsung 850 Evo as best consumer SSD, but many others is good and you can shop for an agreement.

    The trick to that prepared in advance how you reinstall Windows clean install from a Windows system image backup or clone. All are viable options, but have their own procedures and pitfalls. We can help with that.

  • Change HARD drive on a laptop computer brand new - is warranty still valid?

    Just ordered a new HP envy 17-J008eo laptop for bikes.

    I want to chage the harddrive provided on a SSD hard drive and now I wonder about the Finland HP warranty policy, Europe - should it be cancelled if I change the HARD drive? (planning on ordering extended 3 year warranty as well)

    According to my understanding, that you do not want to install SSD drive on the Unit came while the SDS disc is not covered by the HP warranty & if you need to service your unit, you may need to install the Orginal drive which as well as unity.

  • Pavilion G-6 2209au: Pavilion G - 6 2209au exchange for SSD HARD drive

    Hello I have this have upgraded with 6 GB ram and now want to replace the disc for one SSD HARD drive, I read in the forms some how you need to change the bios when you do so, what measures are necessary for the ssd to function? I don't like about backing up files, I'll use as an external HARD drive. Also I have the apu a4 4300 m and would like to get 10 4600 m cpu is this hard to replace or should I pay someone? Thanks for the support

    That's what you have:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03551667

    It is the repair:

    Manual

    From the outset I see that you only have 2 GB of RAM. Very easy and inexpensive to spend at least 4 GB. See page 46.

    The motherboard is the motherboard. There is no upgrade available. However, you have the CPU AMD A4 and you might fall into a 10 - 4600M. See page 83. It would be a major update and only would no treatment faster, but would provide a slightly better video chip since it is a "APU" with processor and video on the same chip.

    Finally, you can exchange the mechanical drive to a SSD drive. The upgrade of the speed would be very noticeable.

    That @banhien meant, however, the cost of this can equal or exceed a new laptop. and almost certainly will if you need to pay a technician to do it. The first update I is the RAM, then the SSD and then the last would be the CPU. If you need any help post more come back.

  • Failure of hard drive on HP laptop DV 6000 Pavilion Windows XPsp3 OS - need help data recovery

    Failure of hard drive on HP laptop DV 6000 Pavilion - need help data recovery

    HP Pavilion DV 6108 NR, RG365UA, purchased late 2006 at best buy, with Windows XP, upgrade to Service Pack 3. It has a Fujitsu 60 GB HDD partitioned into C: and a D: Recovery.

    Windows tries to start, but goes to a blue screen with the message: "Unmountable Boot Volume" for a second, then just guard recycling until I force a shutdown.

    Phoenix BIOS, hard drive test result: "Fail #1-08".

    I ran a program to drive on the Cdrive analysis/recovery and it seems to show the directory structure intact, and he was able to recover some files. I used the free Seagate (which only retrieves the small files). The second pass only works so well and in the third set as the program says that I should not go further, and I need to contact a professional drive recovery company.

    However, drive D seems to be intact, so I wonder if the disc is damaged or just one aspect of the logical drive C is bad.

    How can I get the D: to run recovery on it software? The recovery discs, made by Best Buy, just proceed to the R / F / Q option screen, and when I press R, I get a blue screen every time.
    Pressing the F10 key at startup bothers me nowhere. Ditto the key F11.

    I don't like hard disk; This is the data (files, documents, images, etc.) that I want to.
    I contacted HP to order recovery disks, but they are no longer available for my computer.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

  • Change the HARD drive in the laptop Satellite P10-304

    I bought a new hard drive for my laptop toshiba satellite sp10, can someone tell me were the hard drive is in the laptop, so I can change it as it does not tell you in the instructions booklet
    Thank you
    jm75uk

    Hello

    For some portable models change HARD drive is very simple and not complicated. Change the HARD drive in your case will be not so easy, and in my opinion, you should contact the service partner. I don't know how old is your laptop, and if the warranty is still valid, but as Tobi said if you open the Briefcase with laptop computer on your own, you can lose the warranty.

    I don't know, but the HARD drive should be placed somewhere under keyboard because on this model there is no coverage of HARD drive in the lower corner.

    Good bye

  • I want to recover the data on the hard drive using a laptop as a hard drive.

    Original title: Using a laptop as a hard drive...

    On a MAC, I can plug my laptop into my office with a firewire port to access the hard drive on the laptop without the OS being ran on the laptop.  Windows Vista has such a thing?  If so, how do you go?  The hard drive on my Windows laptop fails and we want to try and recover the data, by hooking it to a desktop as shown above with the MACs.

    Thank you in advance!

    Hello

    "There is no way to access the hard drive when there is no operating system and if the hard drive is connected terribly."

    However, you can remove the hard drive from the laptop and connect it to the office with a case of hard disk that comes with the USB cable.

  • Pavilion 15-ab057nr: How can I change for one SSD HARD drive and update my RAM?

    Hi, I would like to change the hard drive of my computer (Pavilion 15-ab057nr) for one ssd and also add another module of RAM. The problem is that I've never opened a laptop before, and I don't know where to start, or what should I do after I opened the computer. I don't know if anyone could help me by giving me a guide on how to perform these upgrades, every little detail would be useful. Thank you.

    Hi @IYMF,

    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 HP Pavilion Notebook - 15-ab057nr and tried to help you! I looked in your question about upgrading the internal hardware. I understand that you are looking to upgrade your hard drive to a Solid State Drive, as well as adding another module of RAM.

    Here is a link to your Service Manual. You can find the specifications for compatible discs on page 49. Please note that this laptop model doesn't support that type hybrid Solid State Drives.

    Maintenance manual, page 55, there will be a list of the size of RAM supported, but also a guide on the replacement of the RAM. Up to 16 GB of RAM may be supported in a 8GB x 2 configuration.

    On pages 46 to 50 of your maintenance manual, you will find instructions on how to remove the rear panel of the laptop, as well as, instructions on the removal of the original hard drive.

    I also found this Vidéo Guide giving visual aid on the replacement of the hard disk. The model of laptop in the video is not exactly the same as the model that you have, but it can provide assistance, however.

    Please let me know how it goes.

  • Pavilion p001tx 3rd Gen: keyboard changes upgrade and hard drive for HP pavilion P001tx 3rd gen

    Dear HP,

    I am former HP employee worked for many years and big fan of HP.

    I bought the HP Pavilion P001tx in November 2014.

    question;

    1. can you exchange or upgrade from keypad with backlight one?

    2. can we exchange or upgrade the Normal Hard Disk 1 TB with SSHD 1 TB keyboard?

    WebCam is too dull...

    Thank you.

    You misunderstand my role here. I do not work for HP and I'm not the order desk. I am a user final companions. The laptop has a program backup and restore installed where you can make the recovery discs or a USB key to reinstall the software factory on a new hard drive or SSD SSHD.

    You will have to find a SSHD and will make install. HP does not offer that service and I also do not, of course. It can affect your warranty. If you let us know your country of residence, we can find a good deal on the parts you want.
