  Kam124,

  I have found some additional reading for you - on the "Equipment and upgrade" section of this forum.

  In the "Discussion forums" (upper left corner), select "Notebook Hardware Upgrade issues and.

  Next - search once you're in the hardware section - 'HP 17 n' which will take you to tread:

  Re: HP Envy 17 n-000, also known as the M8W99AV_1

  This discussion (with photos), this is what you are needing to know the upgrade of your system - the only difference is, you already have the hard-drive-kit (hardware) they discuss.  So you will not need to be overly concerned about adding 2nd HARD drive - but it is interesting to read.

  The photos included - must be exactly what your system will look-very neat - and easy to upgrade.

  ATTENTION: There is a link to youtube (on page 5) about how to add a 2nd HDD to an Envy 17 - this does NOT apply to your odel - is a portable 17 alumni.

  Some centers of discussion on the SSD m2 - I have not looked at all this discussion - but I'm sure it will be interesting.

  Hope this helps,

• EliteBook 840: recovery disks

  Greetings,

  I upgraded from Win 7 pro to win 10 pro, and it was the most stupid thing I did lately.

  After having worked well a couple of weeks, the computer stopped one day. Software dissappeared, Windows Start button did not work. Of course I did not of beforehand recovery disks.

  So I decided to start over. In the meantime, I bought a Toshiba SSHD disk to speed things up and I replaced my HARD drive.

  I got a flash drive with installation of Win 7 Enterprise society and began to install.

  Everything stopped. It seems that the computer does not want to install a Win 7 OS without the recovery disks, which I did not. My old HDD is also dead, so I can't copy the recovery discs now.

  So to make a long story short, I have a PC dead and none of the recovery disks.

  Please, how can I get the recovery disc for my PC?

  Thanks for any response.

  Thank you RE051ST,

  The problem has been resolved by ordering the new installation CD from the local distributor of HP. It took a while to find and install all the drivers, they do not all have the CD but now the PC is good as new, better yet, with an SSD.

  All the best

• Envy of HP dv7: upgrade of manufacturing after Win10 recovery disks

  After the upgrade to win 8 ot win 10, can I followed the original instructions to create a new set of recovery disks?

  Hello

  HP Recovery Manager only allows you to create 1 set of recovery media for the original operating system supplied with machine.

  However, there is another option, you can use.

  As long as the current installation of Windows 10 has activated Ok after upgrade from 8.1, you can create any media that will allow you to perform a new installation of Windows 10 If you need.

  For a guide on creating it, see the following link.  Note: If you use this option to perform a clean installation of Windows 10, to the activation screen, select "I don't have a product key" - Windows will activate automatically once installation is complete.

• Envy Touchsmart K204TX: Envy K203TX recovery disks can be used to retrieve a K204TX feel like?

  Hi, the first thing I did when I got my Envy cell phone, K203TX, was to create a set of recovery disks.

  Then I discovered that the laptop has several questions.

  HP sent me a technician on-site, and technology, said these problems were caused by a material defective number (display board, motherboard and the case has a defective battery lock). It helped me to return the laptop as DOA.

  The problem is, HP store couldn't make me K203TX one another, I paid like $150 and upgraded to a fancy K204 TX.

  I have now the 204TX and this laptop has no problem at all, it's as good as it can get.

  My drive recovery K203TX of envy is always with me.

  Question > can I use these discs to recover my K204TX disaster? Or I'll throw these drives and create a new set of recovery disc for this computer?

• Can Tecra M9 - I upgrade the RAM and get a Windows 7 recovery disk?

  Hello!

  I want to know if it is possible to upgrade my Tecra M9 about RAM - memory? I think that I now have 2 GB.
  I also need to know if Toshiba sells a recovery disk to my computer with Windows 7, or do I have to buy a Windows 7 disc and serch for drivers on my own if I want to have the new operating system?
  My language on the portable computer setting is Swedish.

  Cordially Mikael

  Hello!

  I also put t know how much RAM have been mounted, but I checked the Tecra M9 user manual and it can be upgraded to 4 GB of RAM. This means that you need two modules with specification of SO-DIMM DDR2 200pin for upgrade. In the user manual, you can find some information about it.

  On the issue of Windows 7, I think that Toshiba will not release a Windows 7 recovery disc because this model isn't Windows 7 supported:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/KBA9A02PX0000R01.htm

  You can install Windows 7 from a Microsoft disc but you will have to collect the drivers on different websites or other, you use the Vista drivers.

• Upgrading the Toshiba with Vista SP2 product recovery disks? (32-bit)

  Is it possible to upgrade my installation cd (I have an ISO of it file) with Service Pack 2?

  Any help appreciated,
  Greetings from Poland - Wyso :)

  Hello

  > Is it possible to upgrade my installation cd (I have an ISO of it file) with Service Pack 2?
  I think that this is not possible because the iso file is a package that cannot be opened again.

  But it is possible to install the OS by using the recovery disk.
  Then to install SP2 and then to create an image of the C partition.
  I did it by using the utility of Symantec Ghost.
  I create an image of my C partition, and is that something goes wrong I can retrieve the unit by using this ghost image file

• HP Touchsmart 23-d055: do I need a new recovery disk after upgrade to Windows 10?

  I upgraded my 2 years, HP Touchsmart in Windows 8 for Windows 8.1 for Windows 10. It took me 6 hours to run all of these updates.

  Now, HP Support Assistant keeps reminding me to create an image of system recovery. But when I run the recovery media creation utility, it warns me that he goes back to the original operating system (Win8). Is it possible to create a recovery image system for my machine on Windows 10?

  I know that Windows 10 now has an automatic recovery partition. But I am concerned by the failure of the disk, which would make this unnecessary partition. Last year, when I've upgraded to win 8.1, I had an alteration of the disc that has occurred without known reason. I lost everything on the PC and to restore Win 8, and I've never touched the PC up to 10 Windows free update is out.

  I created a USB Win8 recovery disk when I got the machine. This is my only alternative? I suppose that if I ran the recovery media creation utility, it would recreate just the same.

  BTW, I know that HP has here a document, but it does on computers provided with Windows installed 10.

  • HP computers - create and use a Microsoft recovery USB drive (Windows 10)
  • http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c04641788

  Thank you for your help and experience.

  Since no one has replied with an answer to my question, I've finally worked it on my own. I learned that you cannot make a new recovery disk system after the upgrade to Windows 10, if you had already created one when you got your machine under Windows 8.x

  Context: after upgrade to Windows 10, the HP Support Assistant kept prompting me to create a system recovery disk.  I did one when I got the machine 2 years with Win8.  I didn't replace my original recovery disk, so I went out and got a new 16GB USB flash drive. When I inserted this new drive and attempted to create a recovery disk, the PC told me I couldn't do one, because you are allowed to make a recovery disc by PC.

  So it was kind of stupid that after completing the upgrade of Windows 10, HP Support Assistant tells people to do. It should just check itself and see if a disc has already been done. All this anguish for nothing!

• Dv7 - 7333cl envy: Boot Device not found (3FO) after 8 of Windows Restalling of recovery disks

  Hello

  The hard drive on my dv7 desire - 7333cl just died after upgrading my windows 8.1 to 10. I bought a new SSD and I replaced the drive. I could not find the recovery discs, that I did when I got the PC, so I ordered new HP according to the recommendations of other threads with the understanding that they would be able to reinstall windows on the new drive.

  Given the shipping time would take a long time, until I tried to reinstall Windows 8.1 using the file .iso Windows 8.1 image official of Microsoft. It seemed to install properly, read the product automatically key and everything, but I could not get the machine to start, so I decided to wait for the HP recovery discs.

  Well I had the disc a few days ago and reinstalled the original image on the new drive. Problem is that when the computer reboots, I get error no matter what I try. The errors vary according to which of the steps I tried below, but I was never able to start Windows, except once when the Windows 8 BSOD loops and restarts automatically before I can even read.

  Here are the steps I've already tried:

  -Performed a hard reset (power adapter and battery removed, taking the power for 30 seconds button)

  -Run the diagnostic system HP based on the SSD (spent) and memory (spent)

  -Secure boot disabled (and re-enabled, cleared the keys, keys reloaded, etc.)

  -Enabled legacy support (and disabled)

  -Bios reset to original settings (F9) is then repeat above steps in various orders

  -Reinstalled two times more than original image

  At this point, I was wondering if the drive has not been formatted from the recovery disk and multiple files to start causing problems, so I started in Parted Magic with UBCD and reformatted the entire hard drive (0 s to write to disc) and again reinstalled original image. Still nothing so I told all the steps above in random orders to try to turn it on.

  If I start in the boot options, I can see the SSD, but it still won't start. Does anyone have more ideas for me to try? The fact that it passes all the tests and that it is running the Linux of Parted Magic environment suggests that everything works fine, but for some reason any Boot file does not load.

  Did I lose money on the HP recovery discs and he just bought my own Windows OEM license?

  I'm going crazy trying to figure this out. I am relatively experienced with the PC, but it's my first time work with the architecture of the UEFI Windows 8 so maybe there is something obvious that I'm missing?

  Thanks for any help.

  FINALLY SUCCESS!

  After a lot of frustration and several reboots, partitions, reinstall, and trips to Best Buy, that I care to remember I'm typing this from my stable work feel LIKE to the point Windows 8.1. Currently 10 Windows to download and install all updates, but everything seems to be stable.

  To make a long story short:

  -Be sure to carefully read the product manual

  I never would have guessed that this system would support only a 160 or 180 GB SSD. If I had of known that I would have probably never had any serious problems.

  -Instead of order recovery HP discs just to download the ISO of Windows 8

  I'm not the first person to have problems with these discs (search this forum for the many complaints), so unless desperately want the included HP tools and bloat, just to get a file from Microsoft (FREE!). There is no reason why it shouldn't work and I wish I would have went with my gut here and saved a bit of money.

  -Be persistent if you can't find the question

  I was told, many people, that the machine was bricked up. At that time, I was obsessed with the implementation because no one could tell me why it would not.

  Thanks for reading! And if you encounter a similar error, good luck.

• Should I order initial recovery disks or upgrade to windows 7 discs?

  I have a HP Pavilion p6116f Desktop 64 bit Vista operating system updated and original upgraded to Windows 7, my drive crashed so I'm looking for the recovery disc.  Should I order initial recovery disks or upgrade to windows 7 discs?

  Harddrivealert, welcome to the forum.

  If you use original recovery disks it will restore the computer to its orignal configuration, including Vista.  You can't get recovery for the computer disks that include Win 7.  You will need to purchase a full copy of Windows.  You need to make sure that you can find all the drivers for Win 7.

• HP Pavilion 15-p264na: upgrade of Windows 10 - recovery disk

  I just bought this laptop with win 8.1 on. I want to upgrade to windows 10 and produce a recovery disk using the installation of HP, which cannot be done at once. The question is what to do first. I'm afraid that if I do first the disc, then I assume will only recover Windows 8.1, which means another upgrade to win 10, which then can no longer be available as a free update. If I do the first update, should I still the ability to produce a recovery disk? and if he will he recover to win 10?

  Hello:

  You must make the recovery W8.1 media now before moving on to W10.

  It will only take up to W8.1, and no matter what you do, it will only retrieve W8.1 by using the HP tool to make the drive.

  Upgrading to W10 has no effect on the change of the W8.1 recovery partition.  Only, it installs W10 on the C:\ drive and makes no other changes.

  Here's how I see the second part of your concern (what concerns me too).

  Like you said after next July, W10 is not free, what happens if you need to restore W10 or you get a new hard drive and you have to install everything.

  First of all, after you upgrade to W10, in the tool settings > activation, you can check that W10 is enabled.

  I'd say you need to reinstall W8.1 and then upgrade to W10 and when you go to turn it on going because he already know that W10 has been installed on the PC before.  Microsoft maintains a database of activation which should allow the PC to have W10 still for free.

  You can make a W10 installation/repair ISO disk usb flash drive, or from the link below.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/Windows10

  Another thing I did was to create a system image of the installation of the W10 and recorded on a portable hard drive.

  I did use the tool to create system image (windows 7) in the W10 system control panel option.

  My plan would be to try first before anything else.  You can use the installation/repair W10 disc that you create to access the system image that you create, and I hope that will save a lot of time and effort.

  You can update the image of the system as many times as you want, and it will overwrite the existing image on the laptop hard drive.

  But until next July comes and goes, we can only speculate what will be the result of having to reinstall the W10.
