I replace my hard drive with an SSD.
My Acer Travel Mate I bought, was delivered with pre installed Windows 7 Pro 32-bit. When I replaced my HDD with a SSD, can I use my existing product key to reinstall windows 7 Pro 64-bit?
Thank you :-)

Is it possible to replace the hard drive with an SSD? or would it be too expensive?
Is it possible to replace the hard drive with an SSD?
or would it be too expensive?
Yes. There are several alternatives. I found a way relatively inexpensive, using a map of mSATA (very small SSD) and an adapter to connect it to the connector IDE 44 pin internal of my PowerBook. It works very well. Rather than repeat what I posted previously, you can watch these two topics (which also has good info, other users)

Re: SSDS (my post is halfway - "this is how I did with my trusty Pismo...) »)
FYI - I have used the adapter is even cheaper now

Replace old hard drive with an SSD. Now some of the keys on the keyboard stopped working. Ex 'e' and 'b' keys no longer work? Any idea what could take place in the disc replacement?
Probably nothing, it's probably a fluke. Try resetting the SMC and the PRAM by iMac Intel SCM and reset the PRAM. If this does not work, try a USB keyboard to test, if it works then your original keyboard has failed and must be replaced.

How to replace the hard drive with an SSD on a model of end 2011 MacBook Pro 15 inch, A1286
Hello
I would like to replace the hard drive on my model of end 2011 MacBook Pro 15 inch, A1286 with a disk solid state drive (SSD). First of all, I would like to know if this is possible. Second, what is the best way to do it? I'm under the Yosemite OS if that makes a difference.
Here are some technical details of my current system:
-MacBook Pro 15 inch, late 2011 model A1286
-OS yosemite
-16 GB of memory/RAM
-Currently using stock HD
All instructions step by step would be helpful with what software should I use to make backups of my current operating system (e.g., SuperDuper). I would also like to know what tools or material I need like type of screwdriver, cables to transfer data to the SSD, etc.. My goal is to not have to reinstall each app one by one on the SSD, but if that's the only way to do it then it's okay.
Thanks in advance for any help.
You can see instructions OWC here. Tools are mentioned in the discussion (I used a plastic knife picnic with the stronger edge somewhat blunt for nylon pry tool). I suggest you invest in one of these external fences. Install the SSD in who and clone internally externally with CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper. Then move the external drive of the internal drive after the start of the SSD in the external to confirm the operation.

Do need me an adapter to replace the hard drive with an SSD
I want to know before I get out my drive if I need adapter to replace my old hard drive with a drive way SSD SSD drive to connect directly to a MacBook pro six, one? Or do I need an adapter for the interface on the SSD
SATA SSD have the same footprint than conventional hard drives (some may be thinner than 2 mm, but the closing screws are adjusted for difference) Although adapters can be provided, you must not use in your MBP. I installed three SSD in my Mac without adapters.
Ciao.

I have a model m9373.me, an office, built in 2008. I want to change my SATA hard drive for an SSD, but I can't know what the active drive SATA type is. Should the new disk SSD be SATA I, II or III? How will I know?
Here are the specifications of your computer has HP Pavilion Elite m9373.me-. According to specifications, your computer is shipped with 2 x 750 GB drives (3.0 Gbps) SATAII 7200 RPM hard. Depending on the age of your computer, it supports the SATAII specification. Any SSD you buy will probably be a device SATAIII (6.0 GB/s) and will be retro-compatible with SATAII ports on your motherboard. Note that the SSD will only transfer data as fast as allow the port of the motherboard. You won't get the full implementation of the SSD in this system.

Thanks in advance!
For clean installation try to download Microsoft Media creation tool first. Using the tool, you can download a copy of the Win 8.1 installer. Save 8.1 only and not the PRO. During installation, the installation program does not the product key but it detect automatically your bios.
You will need to place the ssd instead of the original location of the hard drive to boot successfully.

Can I change hard drive with an SSD in Toshiba NB100?
Can I change hard drive with an SSD in Toshiba NB100?
The hard drive in this model is the same size as SSD 2.5 drive "?Hello
As far as I know the laptop supports the disk HARD 2.5 SATA.
I think you could use a SATA SSD drive. Usually some SSDS require the firmware update but this should be provided by the manufacturers of SSD drives. -
Hey guys,.
I have a pc hp pavilion touch laptop 14, which has been having a defective hard disk that the operating system was not start and the system test indicated that the hard drive contained errors.
I replaced the hard drive with a new one and before installing the hard drive I formatted with a win installation 8.1. I thought the laptop would just start normally to win8, but gave me a screen saying:boot device not found please install an operating system on drive hard drive (3f0)
The hard drive is new and I did not not how its gives me this error!
In addition, this laptop does not seem to boot from a cd to format!
Any ideas?
Thank you
KarlHey BHK6,
I found out what was wrong! It was so simple!
I just need to make the boot inherited from the bios, like that he started directly from the hard drive and does not need of any software pre installed HP to start.
Thanks for your help anyway

Re: Tecra A9 - 11M - replace the HARD drive with a larger
I have a Tecra A9 - 11 M with Windows XP Professional installed. I would like to replace the hard drive with a larger drive and install Windows 7 Professional.
Any suggestions on recommended records say 500 MB?
Difficulties to install Windows 7 on this model?
Hey,.
> Any suggestions on recommended records say 500 MB?
I assume you mean 500 GB and not 500MB, right? ;)Well, the Tecra A9 already supports SATA interface and there is no limit of capacity on SATA interface, so you can install a 500 GB HARD drive or more (750 GB, etc.). Just make sure that it s 2.5 SATA HDD.
You can choose each brand of HARD drive because each model will not work. You can buy a Toshiba HDD, Western Digital HARD drive or another. No problem ;)

Qosmio X 500 - 10W - can I replace the HARD drive with another?
Hello
I have a Qosmio X 500 - 10W with two drive HARD Toshiba MK5055GSX 500 GB 5400 RPM 8 MB? SATA II but is one of the hs so I'm wondering if I can be replaced by a more powerful style, drive HARD 750 GB 7200 RPM / min 16 MB Toshiba courses?
Thank you
Hey,.
Your question is a bit hard to understand, but I think you want to replace the HARD drive with another (faster) model, right?
Well, that s no problem. 7200 RPM hard drives works, they are a little stronger, but they're faster so if you need more performance without problem.
750 GB or more are also no problem because the SATA interface is not the limited capacity. Theoretically 1 TB or more should also work.Anyway, you can buy the 750Go you mentioned that it will work. :)

Is it possible to change the 500 GB HARD drive with an SSD on my HP Pavilion MS228sc?
I wonder if it is possible to change the 500 GB HARD drive with an SSD on my HP Pavilion MS228sc?
If 'yes', I guess I have to go for a SATA SSD if there is. But I have to worry about other specs?
If 'Yes'... what could be.
I googled my question but no answers... so I ty Wizzards :-) Forum
In fact, this is not true. As long as he uses a large SSD enough it will be able to use the recovery media. I suggest using a SSD of 256 or 512 GB if budgeted for the upgrade...
He doesn't have to make a Windows 7 installation USB drive and use the activation key license on the certificate of authenticity from the PC Windows to perform a cleanup to install.
One of them should be on your PC. The Prodct key is what is needed for installation and activation online.

See the following list of videos for removal and replacement of the hard disk. (hard disk set)

You'll need is a mobile SATA 2.5 "SSD to replace the wisk hard legacy spinner with. I highly recommend that replace you it with the current disk cloning to the new. This is the simplest method. See the sticky that I created in this section of the forum for more details on how it's done.
An SSD of 256 GB or higher capacity is recommended as a replacement for the disk hard legacy currently installed. An SSD of 256 GB or higher capacity will allow to use the recovery media that you created with the HP Recovery Media Creator utility.
See the following links to NewEgg.com to see what will work. You can use SATA, SATAII and SATAIII interface SSDS. None of the other types of interfaces are compatible with the motherboard and the BIOS of your laptop!
