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.

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.

Who calls on a menu.

Choose command-line (Admin).

Type DiskPart and press to enter.

Who calls the DiskPart utility.

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.

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.

    How to make a model for a quarter fold card - horizontal and vertical format

    HI Mickey,

    Check the file > new file selector model to see if your version of Pages offers card models. This began as a two "single fold" card on US letter in landscape orientation.

    The model included three pages. Page 1 Page 2 inside, outside, and the third was a blank page. Only Page 1 was included in the original document.

    I started by the insertion of a page inside, containing two of the big text box below.

    Back to Page 1, I chose an image returned vertically then horizontally, then repeated this procedure with the text box that contains "Thank You".

    I traced the two objects, then moved inside page, placing the pair in the upper left corner.

    Inside page, I removed the text in the box on the left and replaced by "left inside,"a label to mark the position of this section in the final map. "

    I added a text box, entered 'Back' returned vertically then horizontally and dragged to the position shown.

    Save the result as a model.

    Using the same document, I went to file > layout and changed the landscape to Portrait orientation.

    Do drag the blue guides to the indicated positions, then reshape the elements to fit the new space.

    Save the result as a model (with a different name of the above registered version).

  • For one SSD HARD drive swapping

    Permutation of my HARD for one SSD drive

    Dear people;

    I recently bought a Dell SSD to swap with my HDD on my Studio 1558, Windows 7, 64-bit failure.

    What I needed to know, is the image of the system will be enough to transfer all files and program, so the OS on the SSD. As much free disk space is concerned, I have more than enough to copy on.

    I am concerned about Microsoft not to validate the transfer of Windows 7? I also have an OS drive that Dell sent me. Wouldn't be better to use it instead of the image of the system?

    I thought that I would make sure I do that when the hour comes-any day now.

    Thanks for your time.

    You must install windows from the installation media, and then reinstall all your programs and files. System images are only to reinstall on the same disk or a disk of size even. There is no problem with the license. This isn't for the computer hard drive. Reactivation should not be a problem, but you might have to talk to a person to explain the replacement of disc.

  • How to level a T61 HDD for one SSD without reinstall?

    Hi all. I bought this ThinkPad, I write with back in 2008 (a T61 6465-CTO with Vista and Intel integrated graphics) and he has been working a lot to me since then. I had no problems with it and his equipment is still able to manage what I have to do. However, I wanted to move her to an SSD HARD drive is faster and snappier. I know that I have would be limited at SATA1 speeds with this camera if I don't want to change the BIOS (which I did not), but I think that even this would be a great improvement on the existing HARD drive.

    To that end, I recently bought an SSD that their prices have dropped slightly (bought a new 120 GB SSD Samsung 840 for less than $100). I said SSD sitting next to me now but I did nothing yet because I want to make sure that I have the right to clone the old disk and swap in the new process. From what I understand instructions, I should:

    1 turn on the computer, install the Samsung Data Migration Software
    2. connect the SSD to a USB port via a USB-SATA Adapter
    3 clone the main for the SSD connected HARD drive using the software of data Migration
    4. turn the computer off, physically remove the old HDD and SSD in its place
    5 turn on the computer and everything should be fact/same as before (with the exception that the computer has a new storage drive)

    Is this correct?

    The HARD drive is encrypted so I removed the password for user/master I have to enter when it starts up, but what I have to do the same for the BIOS password that I am invited to when you turn on the computer? What the hidden; restore partition would clone too much or it would be lost. The HARD drive is in my opinion a 160 GB model, while the SSD is 120 GB but I have read that this difference in capacity should not be a problem since I'm using less of the new disc capacity (I have about 100 GB of free space on the HARD disk)?

    Sorry for all the questions. I have very little experience when it comes to changes in the software/hardware and I really would like to avoid wasting it so I would appreciate any help from people who have knowledge fact how to do this successfully. Thank you.

    The installation that you want to be cloning is optimized for spinning a player - not SSD - and you would have to align in a first time, disable the services later and again, you would not get the performance of a "clean" installation

    You can use any disk Vista installation as long as it matches the version (Home, Pro, full) on your COA - the worst that can happen is that you would have to call MS and activate by phone.

    I had the question why you want to the outdated drivers and other bloat Lenovo recovery partition on expensive SSD space as well, but it's your call. If you provision the reader - and I think you should - you won't initially that much space...

    TRIM running manually is certainly a possibility, but not one that I'm particularly sharp, especially on a small disc of TLC as the Samsung you have. You will need to be on it for not to have slow down for analysis.

    Good luck.
