Possible to move the Pavilion DV5 hard drive to the newer model?

Hello.

I have a little old (but LARGE) laptop - DV5 - 1133ca (FS036UA@ABC) that has intermittent problems with the display.

It blinks and goes sometimes totally blank.  Then I plug in an external monitor and continue to work.  A few days later, he can work or not.  Fix sometimes repositioning the screen slightly with the hinges.  I'm sure it's some sort of cable inside or something.

In any CASE - due to time and complexity with the upgrade to a new laptop (reloading programs, etc.) and the daily use of it - I was wondering if it was possible to buy a new laptop HP OR a model slightly more recent HP Pavilion (IE. Dv6 and DV7 with a little more power) and simply swap my hard drive.

I understand that I would have probably to update many of the drivers - but in general would that work?

Y at - it or the particular models that I should consider to mitigate any possible problems?

Is this a good solution?

Thank you for your help in advance.

Bill

  • How to move Win7Pro from my HARD drive to a new SSD

    I am running Windows 7 Professional on a desktop Dell 560. The software that I use for astroimaging involves math matrix on piles of large images (~ 30 MB each) in "battery" 8 to 20 images to resolve fine detail. Doing this on the existing HARD disk is tedious, with a deconvolution race take from 50 to 90 minutes with a profusion of disk read/write cycles. I want to change the operating system of a new SSD with the software. Is there a way to legitimately transfer the OS and other applications for the SSD? I'm guessing that copying simply of the C: existing to the SSD drive to prove unsuccessful.

    Did he do that?

    SSD of cloning:

    You can clone the installation for the SSD, provided that the SSD is large enough to accommodate the installation to be cloned.

    See http://www.ssdfreaks.com/content/664/how-to-clone-hdd-to-ssd-with-windows-7s-own-software or (easier) use a trial version of Acronis True Image Home 2012.

    Note that, immediately after cloning, you must stop and unplug the original installation. The disc can be reconnected once the DSS started successfully.

    Laptop model:

    The problem is that the BIOS key Code is Windows 8 and that you have installed Windows 8.1. The embedded key will not activate Windows 8.1. If you want to do this for free and use the key that came with the computer, you must install Windows 8, activate it (or it is activated) and then move to 8.1 by the store. Or just buy a key for 8.1 and use it to activate the installation you have.

  • How can I make the best use of a new external hard drive and a new catalog full of photos just loaded into Photoshop elements 14 Organizer?

    How can I make the best use of a new external hard drive and a new catalog full of photos just loaded into Photoshop elements 14 Organizer?

    Keep all the files on external hard drive image?  Nothing else and no pictures on the desktop?

    Keep all image files both places?

    What is the best way to go through thousands of images in the Organizer to identify and place them in files?

    Once I've placed a file, I just leave it in the entire catalog or a way indicate to me that it has been sorted?

    As overwhelming, any tips/shortcuts/schemes, you can offer are welcome!

    As I only have the version of the EP, here is some info on the organiser:

    https://helpx.Adobe.com/Photoshop-elements/how-to/use-elements-Organizer.html

    Independent of how this feature works, you want to have your photos in one place and have a backup (second copy) somewhere else. All hard drives will not be successful at some point - some more early, some late - never trust to have your files in any safety devices if they are on a single disc. Once you have your sorted, it would be useful that you will organize/name/tag new photos immediately if the task is relatively short and simple. I copy my photos on my internal hard drive for my camera, take a quick look with preview to see who needs some changes and then decide where to put them - either drop them immediately after naming them or bring in an editing application and then file them away.

    I FOUND THE SOLUTION!

    I know how frustrating this may be so I hope this helps you guys!

    So I tried to upload a VIDEO to YouTube of my PC but I could not find the files under the my videos folder BECAUSE it was recorded on film! I couldn't find a way to get videos of the FILM at my local / PC video files to download the clip on YouTube. So that's what I did:

    Click on the windows downstairs tap left

    Find a CAMERA ROLL VIDEO and ENTER

    You should be directed to a page with all your videos on the LEFT

    Right CLICK on the video you want to down click COPY the FILE

    then navigate to the folder of you videos and paste there

    your video should be ready to be uploaded to YouTube, Facebook Etc.

    Is it possible to move the button to publish online? It is just about things there that I use often and when I'm in a hurry and my cursor exceeds their I have to wait for this massive box to publish online (Preview) to disappear. I don't want to publish online. I don't want to listen to extracts or learn more. I'll probably NEVER click on this button. I would not lose so much time waiting for this stupid expires box.

  • Is it possible to move the BuildCache folder?

    I am running into a problem of path of file name length in the BuildCache directory, which is currently located at "C:\Documents and Settings\ & lt; user & gt; Settings\Application Data\Thinstall\BuildCache. "I want to move it to a shorter path, but have failed.  I tried setting the env variable THINAPP_CACHE_DIR., but it had no effect.  I am running the latest version of ThinApp.  Any help is appreciated.  Thank you.

    Currently, it is not possible to move the BuildCache folder, its location is always % AppData%\Thinstall\BuildCache Local.

    I'm a little surprised that you run into a problem of path length. That means either you have a user name very long or very long file name (original path does not matter, the name of the file itself must be large enough)?
