Presario CQ61-110SL: upgrade for laptop Presario CQ61-110SL from XP to Windows 7 with new SSD EVO 840

In fact on Presario CQ61-110SLI I have XP installed the Vista of origin instead.

Now I want to upgrade to Windows 7 and contestually get a new SSD Samsung 840 rather original EVO... What is the correct procedure?

Thank you

Hello

Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.

There is no procedure to upgrade from XP to Win 7, it would be clean installation.

1. place the SSD drive in the machine instead of the HARD disk

2. start the installation of Win 7 disc to install Win 7 (best x 64 edition)

3 install the drivers of the machine, you can download from >here<

Windows 7 is optimized to work with SSD, there will be no problem.

If you have important data on your old HDD, you can either save it before (on external support, USB key, Cloud solution, etc.)  or after it (via a USB cable plugged into the laptop as external drive). This is also an option to transfer data.

Please, let me know if you have any other questions. Happy holidays!

  • Hardrive can be upgraded for laptop HP G60-235DX of 320 to 500 GB

    Hello.

    I learned by a person of tech HP (on the phone) that my HP G60 purchased in 2008 could not be improved to a 320 to a 500 GB.  He could not tell me the reason why not.  The Geek Squad at Best Buy, where I bought the laptop, was told that the upgrade should not be a problem.  My system has 512 of RAM and runs Windows Vista.  Is there a reason why I can't spend my hard drive?  My drvie just died and since I have to replace it, I'd like to update if possible.

    Hello

    Make sure that you have burned Recovery DVD for your operating system.

    I see no reason for you is not able to upgrade to a 500 GB HARD drive, but I see that you say you have 512 MB of RAM.  If this is the case, just check the link below it is your model, because it indicates that you should have 3 GB of Ram installed.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01630402

    512 MB Ram really is too little to run Vista.  Your profile says your machine can have up to 4 GB of Ram.  You really should have at least 1 GB, and 2-3 GB would be really better.

    I hope this helps.

  • Upgrade for laptop

    What is the max menory on my dv5218nr, and the cpu can be upgraded?

    Hello

    Looking at the specifications for the model looks like it will support up to 2 GB or Ram.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00699743

    As to be able to change your processor, I don't know the answer for your model, but often the CPU is soldered to the motherboard in laptops.  Even if it could be changed you would be limited by the specifications of your card mother and bios.  You also have to take into account any eventual increase output heat that may result.

    I hope this helps.

  • Upgrades for laptop

    I just bought a Hp laptop model 15-r126na running a pentium cpu r. Can what potential CPUs I put too. The system running windows 8.1 has 8 GB of ddr3 memory and a 1 to hdd Sara any help would be greatly appreciated
    Thank you

    What is the graphic solution of the laptop? It is a dedicated graphics processor (switchable) or only card Intel HD graph?

    The memory to 8 GB is alreadt at full power.

    You can run the CPU - z utility to see what chipset and the processor are installed?  Post here yourresults.

    By the Guide to maintenance & Service (page 1), I do not see a Pentium (r) as a CPU installed as an option.

    Your best upgrade option would be a 256-512 GB SSD. That would ramp significantly the performance of your laptop.

  • Compaq cq58 205 sl: upgrade for laptop

    Hello everyone, I thought to upgrade my computer compaq laptop cq58 205sl. I upgraded RAM and mounted an SSD, I would replace the CPU with a more powerful, I don't know if you can do it, and in particular the list of caught processors supported by the motherboard

    You have the processor Celeron B830 and I can understand why you want to upgrade it. Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    See page 21. Your laptop motherboard supports Celeron or Pentium procesors not the hearts of Intel, who would be the best choice. This means that your best option will be a Pentium 2030 M that bump you up to 1.8 ghz to 2.5 ghz and would be a major upgrade.

    The manual will show you someone who is familiar with these things how to do the upgrade and the processor Pentium 2030 M is not expensive:

  • Reimage Windows 7 to new SSD - and restore the Professional upgrade

    I want to spend my Windows 7 64 - bit of a hard disk of 1 TB to a new 128 GB SSD. I would like to do a clean install of the SSD. I thought I could use the backup, but apparently he wants to restore the entire disk, and there is not enough space on the SSD.  I have a set of discs of recovery of HP, but here's the problem: a couple of years, I've improved the Home Premium to professional. I did it online and it worked well, but for the life of me I can't find a confirmation email, or license key. Is it possible to generate a key of the existing facility, so I can update the new image?

    Thank you!

  • Adding extra RAM for laptop HP Pavillion

    I know that I can add 1 G more RAM for my HP dv6000 laptop which currently has 1 gig of RAM for a total of 2 G.  But since I upgraded the OS from Vista to Windows 7 with SP1 64-bit, clocked at 1.6 ghz, do I add even more to reach a total of 3 G or 4 G?   It seems that the limiting factor is the speed of 1.6 ghz.

    It is a 2 GB max model with an AMD processor. You have meg modules 2 x 512, you need to throw it and buy 2 x 1 gig modules.

    This is what you need:

    I'd be able to keep my current hard drive and always install the new SSD in extra Bay?

    Yes of course. However, it may require a fresh install of Windows on the new SSD. Origin of the hard disks on computers laptops HP are larger that the SSDS and a factory reset can end with a lot of mistakes because the ssd is not large enough to manage the restoration to the original state. A new facility has always worked for me with the key of portable computer product at the bottom of the unit. The only thing I had to do was uncheck activate online because it must be done after you get the activation message (by phone is ok) a few days later.
