HP Pavillion DV6700: Is my HP Pavilion DV6700 Compatible with SSD?

I would like to know if my HP laptop is compatible with SSDS. An Internet search turns postings that say that it is possible and other thay say my PC is not compatible with SSDS.

Here is some info on my installation.

My PC is a HP Pavilion DV6700 CTO Entertainment Notebook
I am running Windows 7
The PC came with Windows Vista

The BIOS is Hewlett - Packard l58 2008-06-16
The processor is Intel Core Duo CPU T7500 to 2.20 GHz, 2201 Mhz, 2 carrots, 2 logical processors

The new SSD is a Samsung SSD of 850 EVO.

(1) my PC is compatible with SSDS?

(2) are there updates the BIOS or the settings of the software that I need to know?

Thanks for any advice.

Yes, it is a fully native SATA (ahci) system and an SSD works perfectly. With Windows 7 operating system will know it is a SSD and activate the TRIM and other optimizations to the SSD. It will be a version SATA slower that curent models but you still benefit greatly from an SSD. You must update the BIOS on this model, but not because of the SSD. There isn't quite enough important updates BIOS for this model which correct some problems of initial material as the fan operation and resume the suspension.

  • How to replace HP Pavilion 14-v044tx with SSD?

    Dear experts,

    I would like to replace HP Pavilion 14-v044tx HDD with SSD, but I can't seem to find SSD compatibility information.

    Here are a few questions and I hope that some of you could give advice:

    1. the list of SSD compatibility?

    2 may I know if it is compatible with Samsung Evo 840 250 Go?

    3. is there a guide on how to open the laptop?

    4. it will affect my warranty?

    Thanks and receive a response.

    Rgds,

    Sam

    Here is the Manual:

    Manual

    Replacement hard drive is on Page 51. The good news is Yes, you can install the Samsung 840 Evo. It is the one I would recommend actually. There is no list because fundamentally, the laptop is compatible with any 2.5 inches wide 7 or 9.5 mm thick SSD or HDD.

    The bad news is to replace the average hard drive almost complete disassembly of the laptop. Access to the bottom door exposes that RAM, no hard drive. And Yes, if you're wrong in the process that HP will stand behind the warranty.

  • the upgrade of my hard drive on my pavilion dv7 4280us.with SSD

    Upgrade to ssd drive using my recovery disc to install windows 7 it to load any disc 5 restarts to the start SCREEN of the HP LOGO screen and it doesn't recognize the OCZ VERTEX 4 DRIVE I install.

    My PC IS Pavilion dv7 4280us.

    Hello:

    At less than your SSD is the same size or larger than the mechanical drive, that you have replaced, the recovery disks will more than likely working.

    An alternative to the installation of W7 (only if you can read the full product key 25 character), is to do this:

    If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

    Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

    Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

    Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

    The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

    Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

    Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

  • HP Pavilion Sleekbook 15 with SSD

    Hi I have a Sleekbook and I tried to change the hard drive for an SSD in Windows 8. Is this possible? I noticed that the bios is enough locked so there is no AHCI setting.

    An SSD will work a good read / write speeds? or should I consider anything else?

    Thank you

    This problem is solved. It's the crucial SSD. I replaced it with a brand different and who has good work. Crucial have now released a fix... typical.

  • Upgrade hard drive HP Pavilion Sleekbook 15 to SSD

    Hello

    I have a HP Pavilion Sleekbook 15 with the following product information,

    Product name: HP Pavillion Sleekbook PC 15

    Product number: C6K58EA

    Will it be possible for me to upgrade my hard drive with an SSD? If so, what are the limits of the SSD that I can use?

    Thanks in advance,

    ISURU.

    Yes. You can upgrade the hard drive to a mobile (laptop) SSD. The SSD must conform to the following specifications.

    Hard disk, without illustration material, Kit (includes hard drive support and support)
    screws, cable and 2 bumpers) HP p/n 701945-001

    If your laptop is also a present SSD 32 GB mSATA, he can line be used as a disk cache via the software Intel IRST.

    The disadvantage is that it is that it will violate the guarantee that the hard drive is not known by HP to be part replaceable enduser. Upgrading a laptop of this type implies a disassembly.

  • Pavilion 15-bc018nl: upgrade SSD m2 in Pavilion 15-bc018nl

    Hi, recently I bought a Pavilion 15-bc018nl (X7H34EA #ABZ).
    I want to upgrade with a secondary hard drive using the port m2 (empty), but I was unable to find the right type of device (Sata or Pcie) m2.

    According to the "HP Pavilion Notebook PC - Maintenance and Service of Guide", these are the possible configurations:

    but I have no idea what kind of M.2 ssd should I buy...
    M.2 internal SATA port or the PCIe is?
    I also heard that in some cases the port of m2 is not enabled.

    So my question is: How can I know if the port of m2 is activated and M.2 SSD is compatible with it?

    Thank you much for the help!

    I finally got an answer from HP support, my port of m2 is successfully activated and works very well. It is sata and pcie compatible.

  • How to access the BIOS on a Pavilion Elite e9237c with mouse and keyboard wireless?

    I have a desktop computer Pavilion Elite e9237 with a wireless keyboard and mouse. I tried to access the BIOS by pressing F10 at startup with no luck, and I can't access any of the other menus for the start-up eiither. I don't have a PS/2 port on my computer, so I can't get a wired keyboard and mouse. Does anyone know how to access the BIOS with this configuration?

    I bought a USB keyboard and he answered in the same way... No bios access. I then studied why it did not work and discovered that it was the way in which he has been connected to the computer. I had initially plugged into a USB hub when he was not working and I moved it directly into a USB port and it works! I plugged my keyboard wireless directly into the USB port and it works too! Thanks for your help... I wouldn't have thought of it if it wasn't for to recommend you the USB keyboard.

  • Pavilion p6257c-b: HP pavilion p6257 c - b is compatible with 750 GTX ti?

    Is my HP pavilion p6257 c - b compatible graphics card Zotac GTX 750 ti? If so, what would I need to do to install it. I am looking to update my graphics card worthy games, so please recommend me for my computer parts.

    Also, should I upgrade or simply create a new one?

    LegitGamer1017, welcome to the forum.

    No, the GTX 750Ti be compatible with the motherboard.  750Ti GTX requires UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard/Legacy BIOS.  The last video cards that does not need UEFI were 640 gt.

    I've built computers for games in the past, but HP has built them unless I can and they work great.  I have a HP Phoenix 860-170VR and I play all the latest series of COD on the highest settings.  I suggest you have a look at it and others built by HP.

    This time, all my data from drive c was lost (with xp on it) so now I have accidentally install xp from scratch.

    whalt drivers then... I should install and in what order?

  • Pavilion Slimline s3330.uk Compatible with W7

    Hi all. This is my firsy station, so I apologize in advance any slides in the Protocol.

    I currently have a HP Pavilion Slimline s3330.uk, which originally shipped with Windows Vista loaded.

    The single harware which has been upgraded is the RAM that is now 4 GB.

    Please could you tell me if this PC is fully compatible with the o/s W7 and, if not, what would be needed to do so?

    Thanking you in advance.

    Best wishes

    Harold H.

    Hi, Harold:

    Looking at the hardware on your PC, it must run W7 very well (but not sure 100% on the card reader).

    You will need to use the W7 drivers from the websites of RMP of component material individual because HP does not officially support your model for W7.

    You can also run the W7 Upgrade Advisor free with all connected devices (printer, scanner, etc.), to see if they can also work on W7 as well.

  • HP Pavilion Elite e9280t with Sound Blaster XFi Titanium - sounds coming out bad speakers

    I'm having a problem with my HP Pavilion Elite e9280t with a SoundBlaster XFi Titanium soundcard.  The system seems to get confused when listening to some media files and multimedia out of web sites.  By confused, I mean that the main sounds come out of my rear speakers rather than the front speakers. Which should come out the rear speakers out of the front.

    Ran the Creative Diagnostics and they test clean. The software correctly identifies the front speakers and rear.  The biggest problem is with web pages (YouTube, Hulu and others); However what happens with some media files (wmv, avi and flv) that I have on my system.

    Speakers that I use are older, and I would be willing to replace if necessary to resolve the problem. They are a set of Labtec 5.1. If someone things I need to replace it, let me know any suggestions.

    Thanks for any ideas where I can Explorer.
