• HP Pavilion dv6: SSD upgrade

  I have HP Pavilion dv6t-6100 select edition with the configuration below. I would like to know if 512 GB or 1 TB SATA III SSD can be adapted to this configuration. I know that I can't get the full speed since the current interface is SATA II. I don't want to spend money and disappointed if the SSD does not work.

  Processor: Intel Core i5 2410 M to 2.30 GHz Sandy Bridge 32nm technology

  Current size of HDD: 750 GB SATA II

  Model: HP Pavilion dv6t-6100 select edition

  HP says it accepts only 160GB if it is an Intel processor Guide. Could someone confirm if this is still true?

  "Disk SSD 160 GB (for use only with models of computer with an Intel processor)"

  Thanks in advance.

  The User Guide does state that optional configurations available factory... not material limitations. You can install a 2.5 inch SATA SSD up to 1 TB without problem. The only model who has had several reports of problem is the MX100 Crucial. series. I recommend the Samsung 840 Evo or the more recent Samsung 850. The distinction of SATA II/III is not a big deal. The SSD will be always fast like a frightened deer.

• SSD upgrade failed - not found boot drive

  I need your help guys... I've been everywhere on the net, try different methods to clone my Windows 7 for SSD and failed repeatedly.

  Here is my setup, I have a HP Envy 14 with a 500 GB HARD drive. I bought an SSD to speed things up.  I have 2 OS (dual boot),

  Win7 and win 8, on which Win8 is the default operating system (according to the news of easyBCD).   I just want to clone the Win7 OS part.

  (Win7 - C drive), (Win8 - F drive) and recovery on the D drive.

  I tried these t hings upafter the defragmentation and backup)

  1. While on Win7, I created a copy of the image, but strangely, thought, once the process is complete the copy of the image is Win8

  I've used EaseUs to do backup and clone Drive C

  Swapped with the SSD HARD drive and got a message could not find a boot disk

  2. because I failed on the first try, I formatted the SSD and opt instead for a new installation.

  -J' I downloaded the ISO of Win7, swapped the (empty) SSD newly formatted

  -Started on the Win7 Installer, and have the operating system installed on the SSD.

  -J' thought that I was until I noticed assigned HP keys do not work, the USB drivers do not work, I could not turn on/off wifi. The reason may be the missing drivers (bloatware since the HP recovery disk - given that I didn't copy that one)

  3. after the attempts, I formatted the SSD drive. I read somewhere to use the HP recovery instead.

  -J' cloned the disc to my HDD to the SSD HP recovery

  -Swapped with the SSD HARD drive

  -Started my laptop and not found boot drive... (even after pressing F11)

  can you tell me a better way to do it?   Or if someone could point out what I did wrong, or perhaps missed?  Really appreaciate... This was bugs me for the last days...

• HP pavilion b005sa SSD Drive does not show?

  I just bought a hp pavilion b005sa 32 GB SSD and HDD of 750 GB. When looking, in my computer, the computer appears as below:

  

  but there is no indication of the SSD. Anyone know where he is? Or how to access it?

  Looking for a program called technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology. It will bring up a console showing the WSSD 32 gig 'speed up' the HDD main drive. The software combines in one volume so that you can't separately get the 32 GB drive to store files or something like that. It makes the system much faster startup and open frequently used files and applications much faster.

• Example: Pavilion G4 1303 AU: RAM not fully use

  My g4 pavilion have 2 GB of RAM. but when I install windows 7 (64-bit) RAM say is 1.48 GB usable... why?

  Can I use the memory full well, I have a lot of processes running, and I've never disabled anything using msconfig.

  

  

  

  The available memory is NOT used by Windows, it is used by the material itself.

  Disabling the programs with msconfig will NOT solve this problem. An update of the BIOS can.

  Please take a look at THIS page for more details.

  Citing a moderator of toms hardware:

  When the computer is turned on, the system (BIOS/UEFI) firmware Initializes the memory and peripherals. Part of this process is to create a relationship between the method of access to the memory (physical address space) and the memory itself.

  The firmware may reserve some of the memory itself for the use of material. The biggest offender here is typically a PGI, if they are present.

  Memory is also reserved for the management engine of the platform, which is a component of the chipset which control the features of the platform independent of the main operating system. Management engine is a small embedded microprocessor (not x 86 based) with its own operating system which shares the physical address with the CPU space.

  The firmware also allocates memory (not memory itself) addresses for PCI and PCIe devices. For compatibility reasons, this area of memory is aligned on the top of the lower 4Gio of the physical address space. Physical memory that would take care of this region is moved; to make this accessible memory, most motherboards it remap to a location in the address space.

  In total, on 20MiB of 60MiB memory is made inaccessible to the operating system. Operating system can tell that this is looking at the DIMM SPD and the tables of firmware, but this operating system is not allowed to access or manage the memory of these regions.

  in your case, more than 500 MB is not available. It is most likely a problem of design with the AMD IGP, and you can probably do nothing about it. 1.48 GB is not really enough for a smooth Windows 7 experience. I recommend spending at least 4 GB.

• X 360 Pavilion: Pavilion x 360 SSD upgrade

  Hi all, I have recently (October 2016) bought a Pavilion x 360 (model 13-0004nl); internal 5400 RPM drive 1 TB is extremely slow and so would an SSD.

  I am not able to find info on this machine, and if it can be upgraded to a SSD drive or not, someone has info?

  A link to the documentation would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

• SSD upgrade/migrate inside 23 tilt of HP Envy TouchSmart?

  (model: 23-k001hk all-in-One)

  Hello all - asking for suggestions advice from wise and kind people on the best way - and operating instructions - for upgrading the speed of my current hdisk 1 TB + SSD 16 GB cache scheme of HP storage by one of these itineraries:

  1) upgrade the disk installed cache 16 GB SSD mSATA disk (limit Intel RST) 64 GB mSATA

  Why: I update regularly a slap (10-15GB) of data from the Agency.

  so given that the daily volume of modified files is comparable to 16 GB,

  I'm assuming that a larger cache will actually add value

  (2) install an SSD 'broad' to serve the main startup disk by replacing

  the existing hdisk of 1 TB (I use a tiny fraction of it) with a 2.5 SSD "

  with a suitable support (and deleting or disabling the 16 GB SSD disk cache)

  Thanks in advance for any advice on this point, HP does not have any information on that, nor any obvious way to access or review the settings of the RST (firmware?) used in their SSDcache + hDisk arrangement (Yes, tried Ctrl-I, the boot, etc.-no joy).

  -Rob in Hong Kong

  Hi WAWood,

  A late thank you for your advice. Based on this feedback and having discovered just that software ExpressCache 'hidden' on my system quietly stopped working after the upgrade to Windows 10 (and HP support does not currently have updated software ExpressCache for Windows 10), I decided to install a large SSD drive and use it as a boot drive.

  In the this could help other all-in-One HP Envy owners tilt, here is a summary of the steps that worked with obvious disclaimers that even if it worked for me, it is not a 'universal' solution and also that if you mess with the hardware/software of your system, you are of course on your own, without guarantees or responsibility for this author) :

  (also, my apologies for the format - in a hurry)

  System:

  HP Envy tilt (23-k001h model) running Windows 10

  Basic purpose:

  Change the original storage configuration:

  Hdisk (boot drive) 1 TB + 16 GB mSATA SSD cache ("linked" to the hdisk via ExpressCache)

  TO:

  Hdisk (spare drive) 1 TB + new Samsung Evo 850 mSATA SSD 500 GB (as boot drive)

  Result

  Many, many "zippier" system: QuickStart, app launch, etc..

  Measures

  Disable ExpressCache

  (HP Envy models tilt seem to use this supplement Windows 3 rd-party, instead of Intel RST):

  In my case, as my recent visit to Windows 10 has taken care of this for me (haha), I don't have to do;  Otherwise, I guess we should stop the ExpressCache service, uninstall the software from ExpressCache and/or drivers, then reboot - suggest you only look it up in the forums, because I can't offer my own experience on this one.

  Clear/unloading as much unnecessary data from drive C: (1 TB hdisk) as possible.

  The goal would be to have used space on C: be greatly below your 500 GB (or other) new drive (in my case, I cut the used space on the C: 100 GB).

  Also a good idea to run the defrag Windows on C:, as may be useful (necessary?) for the reduction of this partition in the next step

  Disk management Windows allows you to shrink the Windows partition (mapped as C

  Goal: you want a net size of all partitions on hdisk (Windows + hidden/recovery/system partitions) to be a little less than the actual size of your new SSD (my "500 GB" SSD was actually more as 465 GB)

  Warning: disk management can claim "not enough space" to shrink Windows (C when it's clearly not partition so - in my case, the problem was due to my Windows partition is not the last partition on the disk before the unallocated space (if any) - obviously this disrupts the management of disks.)  If so, you need to move partitions using a 3rd party soft as AOMEI (free app - has worked well for me) all for the Windows partition is the last partition on the hdisk, with unallocated space located immediately after the Windows partition.

  Result: when the dust settles, the partitions allocated on your hdisk must have a net size which is comfortably at less than the actual capacity of your new SSD (in my case, the partitions was 440 GB on a capacity 465 GB SSD).

  Physics card mSATA SSD upgrade

  • Power PC, unplug from the mains and remove the rear plastic cover:
  • http://support.HP.com/in-en/document/c04100400
• Remove the metal shield covering the RAM:
  • http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c04007922 (only the first 3 steps)
• Remove the metal shield covering the motherboard:
  • Locate/remove the 3 screws holding it down.
  • Lift on board as possible shielding at the booth of PC;
• Locate the SSD of origin (see tiny map labeled as SanDisk or some of these) and remove 2 tiny screws to attach to the motherboard.
• While keeping you constantly connected to the Earth (strap, touch metal chassis, etc.):
  • gently remove original SSD and save it in some static container (if upgrade fails and you want to restore the system to the original state of the material)
  • Gently insert the new card in lateral connector mSATA SSD,
  • and to the motherboard with the same 2 live
• Replace the motherboard of armour, armour of RAM and plastic cover

Check the new SSD 'visible' to the BIOS:

At first startup, use ESC to enter the BIOS settings, then check that BIOS 'sees' the new SSD as the original hdisk

Clone all partitions on hdisk--> new SSD

Start & connect to Windows and use Macrium Reflect (free) to clone all the partitions on hdisk for the new SSD - see large portico advice to:

http://www.howtogeek.com/199068/how-to-upgrade-your-existing-hard-drive-in-under-an-hour/

Do not forget:

• Suggestion from the link above, you must first a Macrium recovery disk
• You can clone * all * the partitions on the SSD's original hdisk

Result: cloned partitions now visible on new SSD. may have little extra/no allocated space on SSD (can deal with that later)

In the BIOS change the boot to new SSD drive

Reboot PC, press ESC to enter the BIOS to change the boot order:

• make the first boot drive in SSD
• also suggest to disable booting from originals hdisk (night before you really start SSD)
• Save the BIOS settings and exit the BIOS

Make sure that you have started of SSD and clean the unwanted drive mappings

Start & log Windows

(the fact that you can reach this point means that you have passed the first test)

Use Windows Disk Manager to

* ensure that C: is mapped to your new SSD.

* make sure that you can still see original hdisk, too

* suggest remove you mappings of unnecessary letters drive

(with the exception of the C: drive!) for all other partitions on hdisk or SSD

Test through full reboot

As a further test, do a reboot of Windows to make sure there are no problems with the start-up of SSD; again, once in Windows, use disk management to check again once your C: drive is the partition on the new SSD

Optimizing Windows SSD

There are several Windows setting changes that you should do when your primary/boot disk is an SSD, either:

• If you have purchased a Samsung SSD, you can download/use their app "Samsung magician" to do so (see "Optimization of OS" section), or
• Google "Optimizing windows 10 ssd" to find any number of guides to achieve this, such as:
  • http://www.disk-partition.com/Windows-10/SSD-optimization-Windows-10-4348.html
• Note: one of the most important changes are those related to mode AHCI (ability to GARNISH)
• Note: some suggested parameters cannot be 100% essential, for example:
  • pagefile on SSD: some authors suggest no page on the DSS file, others say "keep" small'(?) "; most compelling advice I've seen are to retain the page file on the SSD, but let Windows manage the size; in all cases, should make sure that your system has * sufficient * RAM (8 GB and more) for your usage requirements.
  • 'leave free space' (aka overprovisioning): SSD experts suggest that current-technology SSDS, it is not necessary
  • "do not defrag": 10 Windows recognizes SSD and disable defrag automatically

All the problems?

Note that at this point, you still have your original hdisk with windows/data for a few days, so if this migration does not work, you can always go back by turning off the SSD and change the startup disk (in BIOS) originally hdisk

After a few days: some cleaning

When you are reasonably comfortable that your system is booting from SSD and Windows/apps work correctly, you can perform the following operations:

• Use Macrium Reflect (free) or similar to save a snapshot of your current partition SSD
• After the backup, delete old/unnecessary partitions on original hdisk. For some, drive management works; others may need to resort to using the command line program Admin "diskpart" (read the instructions carefully!) and use "Delete Partition Override" (be very sure that you have selected a partition on the * original hdisk * (IE, 'old'))
• Disk management allows you to create a new simple volume on hdisk original now empty, as a reader of alternative utility
• Regular backup of SSD Annex: SSDS, as with mechanical parts, will fail - it's only a matter of time. It 's going to happen. Thus, strongly suggest that you configure regular (daily) snapshots of your SSD partitions. Again, I use Macrium Reflect to do this with a full backup weekly + differential daily backups and save the images in the now empty original hdisk in the PC
• If your SSD has any sense space not allocated, you may want to expand the Windows partition on the SSD drive use disk management to make use of this space

• MacBook pro 13 inch 2012 pcie ssd upgrade

  Is my mid-2012 13 "MacBook Pro compatible with PCIe SSD upgrade? I want to remove the internal optical disk and edit it in the PCIe SSD, so that I have 2 internal storage. Going to do?

  Your mention of an optical drive tells me you have a MBP non-retine.  PCI and PCIe SSDS are NOT compatible with your MBP.  You can install a card standard 2.5 "SSD in your MBP and still experience a significant increase in performance.  I suggest OWC SSD and Crucial.

• Portege R500 - RAM and disk SSD upgrade

  Hello

  I have a PORTEGE R500 bought in 2007, SERIES NO.48025469H.

  I have obvious problems with VISTA and WINDOWS 7. The two do not work well, because he seems to have a memory. I wonder if I can increase the memory and replace the drive with an SSD. I want to keep this laptop because it is perfect for all my needs.

  Thank you

  Hello

  According to the specifications of the laptop your laptop can handle with GB of RAM, but has been bundled with 2 GB memory is not possible.
  http://www.Toshiba.it/discontinued-p...Tege-R500-11z/

  What about SSD? SSD upgrade is possible and you can use 256GB SSD for upgrade. After this system will be much faster, and you will certainly more performance and speed.

• SSD upgrade for Satellite Pro P200 (PSPB7A-01000J) - possible?

  Hello world

  I had a Satellite Pro P200 for 3 years and more. It came with Vista Business pre-installed, but I have successfully installed Windows 7 a few months ago.

  A few months ago, I replaced the C drive in my office with a Solid State Drive and now he sings - program start and loading of the system is much faster than before.

  Now I'm wondering if the SSD upgrade even could be done to my trusty P200 and if yes, what brand/model of SSD could be better. It should be 128 GB or 256 GB maybe.

  Anyone else been in this way? The results? Pitfalls?

  All responses appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I think that it should be possible.
  You must use a SATA SSD drive since the laptop supports the SATA controller.
  To be honest, I never tried to upgrade the laptop with a SSD but SSD is not very different from the HARD drive and normally should not be a problem.
  In some cases, an update of the firmware of SSD may be necessary but usually these firmware updates should be available on the SSD drive manufacturer support page.

• Portege R600 - issue of SSD upgrade

  I have a R600 10 q and I am interested to put an SSD in to replace aging / slow HDD have had a look at what others have said and there seems to be some compatibility issues.

  We know if these have been fixed with the new BIOS updates? or is there a list of compatible drives?
  Have a been a success with a particular model?

  Thanks for the help
  Tim

  I agree with Akuma.
  The use of SSD drive should not be a big problem.
  If something does not work, try to update the firmware of SSD drive for the last s.
  In most cases, this action has resolved most of the problems

  Since the Portege R600 supports a SATA controller, the SSD drive should support the same standard of controller.

  Good luck and thanks for sharing your experience after upgrading the SSD drive

  Hi, I have an SSD upgrade on my laptop. I was wondering if my model, a 17-k204tx has a slot m2 on the motherboard and if so, what size m2 cards it will accept? Or do I have to buy a standard 2.5 "disk instead?

  Yes, there a m2 slot. Here is the Service Manual:

• Equium L10-300 - Bios is not fully ACPI-compatible

  Hello

  Can help with this problem?
  It is said on a blue screen when I start my laptop: this Bios is not fully ACPI comliant. It was in windows xp.
  Recently upgraded to windows 7 but hey ho always the same error.

  All the bios etc, usual default settings was eager Flash the BIOS to see if that can help, but cannot because the update of the BIOS is windows based program... grrrr cannot get into windows!

  Hey Buddy,

  You can start Windows in safe mode?
  Enter the advanced Windows (key F8) boot menu, and then select Safe mode. Windows starts without driver and usually it should always work.

  Also have you tested it with the factory settings? Try to install Windows with all tools and pre-tested drivers recovery disk. This recovery image is pre-tested by Toshiba and everything should work if not it s serious malfunction of equipment.
