N550D - 10G is it worth to upgrade RAM and OS?

I am about to buy a N550D - 10G but am not sure whether or not it is worth upgrading the OS Win7 HP and memory at 4 GB or stick with Win7 Starter and upgrade to 2 GB.

All the advice from someone who did or would be appreciated.

Well, more RAM means your laptop would go faster even if you want to use several applications at the same time, so 4 GB RAM is a good idea, I recommend upgrading the memory to 4 GB of RAM.

Upgrade to a higher version of Windows 7 is not really necessary if you n t really need the feutures provided with a higher version of operating system.

Here, you can compare the different versions of Win 7:

  • Upgrade RAM and disk on Tecra 8000

    I have a toshiba tecra 8000 p2 266 mhz, 64 MB, 6 GB HD.

    My question is I want to upgrade the ram and hard drive. can someone tell me what is the maximum I can put in my laptop. IM aiming for a 256 RAM and 40 GB HARD drive... I want to upgrade the processor, but I don't think it would be possible. If Yes please let me know what is the maximum.

    Thank you guys

    Hello

    I found information that your device can handle with max 256 MB and compatible module unit Pentium II are:
    PA2060U 32 MB
    PA2061U 64 MB
    PA2062U 128 MB

    For user who have the Pentium III unit I'll also post this compatible module are:
    PC100 128 MB (PA3005U)
    PC100 64 MB (PA3004U)
    PC100 32 MB (PA3003U)

    HARD drive upgrade is always a little more problematic because of the maximum capacity that will be recognized correctly, but I assume you can use up to 20 GB of HARD disk without problem.
    Sorry, but I didn? t find accurate information about it.

    Good bye

  • Equium L20-197: to upgrade RAM and CPU

    Hello
    I recently bought a l20 - 197 and if im happy of all, what I want to do is upgrade the ram and processor. Ive found a supplier for ram (www.crucial.com), even if I need some details on the processor that it taken and if it can actually be upgraded.
    Thank you!

    Hello

    Before I try to give you some info on the upgrade, I want to just comment on your ad. Satellite L20 is actually a unit of budget and doesn t expensive. Now, you want to invest enough money in the hardware upgrade. It's not really illogical. Why you didn t get more information and bought the best unit as Satellite M40 or same M70. For a 300 or 400 dollars more, you can have a superior unit.

    Sorry, but the best idea is to sell your one and buy another unit. This is my honest opinion on this subject.

    Now something about your questions: essentially upgrading the CPU is not possible due to the permanent connection method. The processors used in laptops are connected to the motherboard using a process called TCP (tape carrier package).

    RAM upgrade is possible and meaningful. Your device has 512 MB of Ram in one slot and unit can handle with 2 GB max.

  • SL 410 Upgrade ram and hard drive

    Hi all

    I have been using the 410-2842-rk1 model Lenovo thinkpad SL for a year and a half.

    No problems until now

    I want to upgrade the RAM and hard drive of this machine.

    At the time of purchase, I had seen that I could improve up to 1 TB of hard drive.

    Please guide me if I can or not.

    About the RAm too, I need assistance (maximum limit I can update)

    Thanks in advance...

    You can switch to a 1 TB HDD providing it will fit physically. They are more hard are 9.5 mm thick but some hard drives of 1 TB are 12.5 mm thick. If you get a 9.5 mm HARD drive then it will work. Readers of 12.5 mm is too thick to fit.

    Regarding the RAM, you can install up to 8 GB of RAM, which is 2 x 4 GB.

    Hi, before I have to buy my new laptop (Hp Pavilion 15-ak112nl), I want to be sure I can safetly increase my ram and add an ssd m2 without losing my warranty.

    I found this in other discussions:

    "Opening at the back of the laptop is not technically end user, but it is not really difficult. HP most likely does not cancel the guarantee as long as it's done without causing damage. »

    So, anyone with hp staff can confirm that this information is correct?

  • Pavilion dv6-1255-EA: upgrading ram and HDD to ssd

    Hello, my laptop (pavilion dv6 1255-EA portable entertainment I bought 6 years with core 2 due processor, 4 GB ram, 500 GB HDD and AMD catalyst HD 1 GB graphics card) is running a bit slow so I however get a new ssd and / or more than ram would make it faster, I currently have 4 GB of ram and 500 GB hard drive installed in my laptop and I was woundering what are those that I can? Are crucial bullsticks 8 GB of ram and 7 with 9 in ssd adapter compatible? I need an answer as soon as possible because I saw some discounts on these on amazon so that I won't have to wait for black Friday to get them again. And it would also be good if someone also indicates what screwdriver I use.

    Hey @Ajijawi,

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

    I came across your post on the HP Pavilion dv6 - 1255ee Entertainment Notebook and eager to replace the hard drive of 9.5 mm or increase the RAM. Even if it could adapt to the Notebook ok. Queues screws could be different. Here is a link to your service manual page 69 for the hard card. I would really check this before buying new HARD drive. You may need to change so it does not move. The 500 GB SATA 6 GB/s SSD internal SSD 2.5 "would work for this model of laptop including that you have an AMD System.

    This laptop supports up to 8 GB memory system DDR2, 800 MHz, PC2-6400, page 1-DIMM 32 of the manual above.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you.

  • ThinkPad R 51 Upgradation - RAM and HARD drive

    Hi all

    I have an IBM ThinkPad R51 (2887) and I wanted to improve it with 1 GB of RAM and 160 GB of HARD drive.

    But I have some doubts and need advice of experts here.

    (1) can I install RAM 1 GB PC2-5300 CL5 NP DDR2 SDRAM SODIMM instead of required 1 GB PC2700 CL2.5 NP DDR SDRAM SODIMM.

    Also enlighten me with pros & cons.

    (2) what HARD drive I should opt for a Lenovo or Western Digital brand.

    See you soon,.

    Animesh

    Welcome to the forum!

    You cannot install the PC5300 RAM in your machine, it should not physically, and if you try to force it to you will destroy the motherboard.

    Lenovo does not have its own hard drives, but tests and labels drives from other manufacturers (Seagate, Hitachi, Fujitsu,...). Any drive 9.5 mm PATA will work properly in your R51.

    I hope this helps.

  • Upgrading RAM and HDD on Equium A100-027

    Hello

    I have an Equim A100-027 and I already upgraded the two 512 MB to 2 GB 2 memory chips which is the maximum I can get?

    I've also already installed a hard drive over a 350GB one, but I'm looking to install a high - what is the maximum size that I could install? I guess that there must be a limit, but I was hoping that 750 GB to 1 TB would be OK.

    I appreciate all the answers - thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I'm afraid that 2 GB RAM ist the value of memory as possible which is supported by Equium A100-027 Mr. I have this chipset limitation.

    Upgrading the HARD drive must be possible from the controller SATA isn't limited to a certain size.
    That's why I think that 750Go should be possible

    Please share the news with us after finishing these updates.

  • Tecra 8100 - upgrade RAM and HARD drive

    Hello
    I just got a Toshiba Tecra 8100. I do not have this small a HHD and I wanted to know what size I can get it up to. I know y thread already asked this same question, but the technology continues to go better then perhaps there are HHD I can get.

    I am also wanting to upgrade the RAM. I've seen places that sell 144pin PC100 512 MB and I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade this 2 of them or not.

    Any input would be great!
    Thank you
    Doug

    Hello!

    The Tecra 8100 was delivered with HARD s up to 20 GB drive. I'm pretty sure that this laptop has a limitation of LBA 28 bits ([www.48bitlba.com]).
    I put t know what HARD drive you have at the moment, but a hard HARD 40 GB or 60 GB would work in this good old classic.

    In addition, the Tecra 8100 can be upgraded to 512 MB of RAM. So that you can t upgrade your laptop to more RAM.

    2 a RAM problem, pc would not even turn when the two new ram sticks have been installed.
    3. If x 1 old used module and x 1 new stick of ram, pc would not record even installed extra RAM? After discussion with the manufacturer recommended to also upgrade my old BIOS suppliers, I did it via the load - SAME support.
    4. then they recommend - sent back 4 RAM chip, they returned with the type of chip 8,.
    5. upon receipt, PC would not turn on once more if the two 1 GB installed? While could then install x 1 old + x 1 new, pc recognizes the additional ram 1 x, 1.36 GB memory stick.
    6. have you tried to load keyboard shortcuts available on download media files to find error - Toshiba ACPI common Modules (TVALD) missing?
    8 tried to load files TVALD, to then find error - TVALZ DRIVER FAILED? aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh
    Any help would be most appreciated, Please help!

    Kind regards

    Paul.

    There is no reason to discuss on the RAM upgrade, because things are clear: RAM upgrade will be successful if you use only compatible modules and module 1 GB for your laptop with PA3411U-2M1G part number.

    Use two of them, and everything will be OK.

    Back to WXP stuff.
    Installation of WXP can be quite complicated as all things, especially specific tools Toshiba and public services must be installed in the correct order. Before you begin to install Toshiba stuff, you must install common modules. It is a fundamental tool, and it must be installed first. Problem is that we support for your laptop model page, I can't find common modules for download.

    What you can try is to install from the European page. You can find it HERE. Check it out.

  • Satellite A60-131: Question about upgrade RAM and HARD drive

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A60 S-131, bought 2 years ago.
    I want to know is it possible for me to upgrade (internal) for a superior ability to HDD 40 GB HARD drive and update my RAM to 512 MB on the rise.

    Also I already inserted a 256 MB DDR RAM in the empty memory slot almost 1 year ago.

    Help will be appreciated.

    Hi Pranjal,

    You can definitley upgrade your hard drive for a larger version. You should find that a 80 or 100 GB will work fine. You should make sure that you get you a new disc with the same physical characteristics as you existing. The following link will help you remove the hard drive.
    http://irisvista.com/tech/laptops/ToshibaA65/satA65_1.htm

    You can also get a new hard drive with a more rapid rotation speed (5400 RPM or 7200 RPM).

    I think that the maximum RAM for the A60 is 1.25 GB which includes 1 X fixed module (I presume yours is 256 MB, which means that you can install an additional module with a capacity up to 1 GB. Available in capacities of 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB of RAM modules.

    Kind regards
