  Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the problem, that you are facing is that Microsoft provides only pilots with the most basic features and what you really need for these features in laptops is the specialized drivers written for the specific material found in laptops - and unfortunately, there is no HP Win10 laptop driver.  HP only guarantees the compatibility of Win10 for machines manufactured after August 2013. HP is not no matter what timetable indicating when, or IF, they will produce drivers for older machines.

  There is also no update the BIOS of your PC.

  This means that your PC is probably NEVER going to be fully functional under Win10 because the pilots is needs for all features simply do not exist!  To restore all the features, you will need to do a reset to factory using HP recovery media to its original operating system pre-installed.

  However, if you are determined to stay with Win10, pilot alternatives, you can continue below are...

  You can try to use Windows updates to find the drivers from Microsoft deposits for your device: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03330139

  You can also try following the instructions in this thread: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04763435/

  If Windows Update doesn't give new drivers, you can pursue alternative which are described in the linked Microsoft Windows Insider community thread: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/wiki/insider_wintp-insider_devices/how-to-install-and-update-drivers-in-windows-10/a97bbbd1-9973-4d66-9a5b-291300006293

  If you then run into trouble, install the drivers through Windows Update, you can try to use of Microsoft Windows Update Troubleshooter: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/open-the-windows-update-troubleshooter

  Good luck

• new hard drive for laptop

  I have a laptop dv7-3140el and HD samsung HM641JI 640GB 2.5 "SATA 5400 RPM (to replace car failure). To buy a new hard drive I have to take the same or I can take 7200 RPM instead of 5400? What technical specifications should I look for when buying a hard drive for computer laptop dv7-3140el? I wouldn't make a bad purchase!

  Sorry for my bad English

  Hello

  Here are a few points to note when replacing your HARD drive:

  You are not limited to any particular drive manufacturer.

  The speed of rotation of the disc can be 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM

  The new drive HARD should be at least the same capacity (or slightly more is okay) as the original drive - mounting a drive smaller than the original often causes risks with recovery media.

  The player at the link below is an example of one that would be perfect for your laptop.

  750 GB hard drive for laptop.

  If necessary, the procedure to replace the hard drive begins on Page 47 of your maintenance & Service Guide.

  Kind regards

• Replacement hard drive for Portege P2010 - part number required

  Can someone tell me what is the part number for a replacement hard drive for Portege P2010 is? It has the latest version of the BIOS installed, if the capacity of the HARD disk can be greater than the original 30gig?

  Thank you

  Martin

  Hello Martin

  Unfortunately I was found no specific information. If I'm right, this unit needs 1.9 HDD and I think it can be much more expensive as 2.5 standard.

  Check it please this page http://www.laptopbits.co.uk/Database_files/Toshiba_Portege_2000_and_2010_series_spares.htm
  You will find a few pieces of upgrade for your device.

  Good bye

• Tecra S3: SATA hard drive not recognized after XP updates

  Windows has recently completed an automatic update on a Tecra S3 equipped with a 60 GB HARD drive SATA.
  After the reboot required for updaates windows generates a BSOD.

  I've traced the error and found that the system can not find the hard drive.
  Even when I use the XP cd and restore/repair console without a hard drive is located.

  When I check the BIOS hard drive is there.
  I removed the hard drive and used an external case and determined that the hard drive works fine.

  Hello

  Tecra S3 supports RAID.
  In order to install Win XP RAID driver is needed!

  The RAID driver can be found on the European driver Toshiba page.
  It s a v 1.01.0005 for Win XP.

  You can include the RAID driver using nLite. This free tool allows you to include the RAID driver in the Win XP disc.
  Google for nLite for more details.

• replacing hard drive for Pav P7-1240 & SSD

  Part 1: I have a desktop computer Pavilion P7-1240. It is just 1.5 years... 1 TB Hitachi hard drive has not now.  I went out and bought a WD 1 TB Caviar Black internal Performance Desktop retail hard drive Kit (WD1003FZEX); go mainly for the guarantee of 5 years... the rest of the features seemed to match (3.5 ", 7200, 1 to, SATA 6) except the WD a 64 MB cache, the Hitach did not state on the player the amount of cache.  Will this swap drive out like for like or any other change in the drivers, etc. should be done?

  Part 2: I would like to install a 128 GB SSD in the P7 as the main OS drive.  What changes should be made so that the system recognizes the additional disk.  I tried to plug into the SATA4 slot and the power cable, but the system did not not recognize/see the SSD drive.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated for these two.   Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  I return the drive and get a non-advanced HD format.  This way your recovery media, HP will work. If you do not create the external HP recovery media then contact HP support and order media.

  In addition I send back the SSD and order 240 + GB model so that the support of HP recovery will allow a restoration works.  If you decide to go with this option, then keep the hard drive for now.  It may be "well-prepared" once you have Windows 7 running with the latest updates. At least BIOS settings have been tampered with then the SSD is probably dead.

  While there may be other ways to get your PC up in the race without using the HP recovery media, this can and has led to confusion later when start HP function keys do not work properly.

• Bay DVD replace HARD drive not recognized by Windows

  I have a 7737 with the 256 GB SSD, but I wanted more storage internally and was not too annoyed to have DVD - so I bought a caddy and replaced the optical drive with a WD Scorpio Black 750 GB drive.

  When I went into administration - computer management - disk management tools, he acknowledged that the drive was there because he told me that he needed reprogramming - so I went ahead and let him. The disc quickly disappeared from the list, and I can't do anything that he can come back.

  I tried to refresh, rescan the drives, restart (how can I confirm the BIOS recognizes the drive correctly, as the "SATA ODD', but Windows still refuses to acknowledge that he is here.) Device Manager displays only the SSD and scanning for hardware changes have no effect.

  Maybe it's a coincidence, but now my laptop seems a touch slow, especially in the graphics... and I noticed that in the Task Manager, System interrupts now takes 10 percent of time CPU on average. I can't say that I've never noticed that before. My old Samsung laptop (which has integrated graphics rather than a dedicated card, to be honest) claims system interrupts doesn't take any time at all CPU. This seems to suggest a conflict any exist, and maybe that's why the drive is not recognized?

  Because Device Manager is not see it, I can't check for updated drivers.

  Because disk management can't see, I can't format / partition / assign a drive letter.

  The BIOS does not let me do anything with the drive, go into properties or disable / re-enable, or something like that.

  Can anyone suggest what I might have missed in the configuration, or what I can do to fix this?

  Thanks in advance.

  Unfortunately, I can't find a downloadable diagnosis for your laptop. Try Seatools. Seagate website has a download, that you can use to create a CD bootable or flash player to test hard drives.

  I just want to see if a tool outside Windows can detect the drive and all the problems.

  Hello

  I see no reason why a hard drive 7200 RPM would not work.

  I put SSDS in both my latops and have no issues.  An SSD was in need of a firmware update but otherwise no problem.

  You can check the size of the hard disk to ensure than a standard notebook drive 2.5 "can hold in the hard drive caddy.
