Spectrum XT Pro PC 13-b000 HP: HP spectrum XT Pro Ultrabook SSD upgrade

Hello!

I currently own the spectrum XT Pro Ultrabook w/4 GB of RAM and 128 GB SSD.  I was wondeirng:

(1) if I could move to a larger capacity SSD and if so, what steps I would take to safely install the largest SSD.

(2) I also wonder if I can get the 8 GB RAM.

Any help would be grateful.  Thank you!

Product number: B8W13AAR

* When I use the app in the discovery of the HP product line, it mentions it as a hybrid of spectrum HP, which is not.

Yes like I said:

As for the MacBook Air and portable thin like, in your case the memory is part of the motherboard so there is no memory to delete and replace them with larger-capacity modules.

This means that you're stuck with 4 GB of RAM.

The reader of the MSSD seems to be a MO-300 two standard pins form factor, but as with most of them, the description is very thin and avoid surprises, I'd say you get the actual number of the HP Part.

256 GB (SSD) solid state drive 689955-001

I think that this should also work and is a bit cheaper but once we go outside the HP specified in the manual part number there are some risks:

    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.

  • 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.

    Greg.

    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.

  • Satellite Pro 4300 - memory upgrade problem

    Hello

    I know that the issue has been already discussed several times, but it seems that none of the solutions or suggestions posted earlier apply to my situation.
    I recently bought an old Toshiba Satellite Pro 4300. The laptop has a slot filled memory of 64 MB module of the system's total memory was 128 MB.
    Because in my opinion, the system has worked to slow down, I decided to buy an additional memory module. I bought 128 MB - module TOSHIBA PA3005U k and placed in the slot B

    I was very surprised when I found that, after the upgrade, Windows showed that the total memory is 192 MB.
    When I put the 128 MB in the slot module is and the old module of 64 MB in the slot B - the surprise was even bigger, given that windows showed only 128 MB.

    I first thought that the slot B is defective, but in this case, it would be impossible to get in the first place the 192 MB. Then I thought that the new module of memory was either defective or it was 64 MB instead of 128 MB, but this option is also likely, according to my observations. Furthermore, I checked with EVEREST software system and it recognizes the new module as 128 MB module, but does not see the old 64 MB module.

    The situation is quite strange. Does anyone has an idea whay happens?

    Kind regards

    Sebastian

    To my knowledge, the 4300 Satellite Pro can be upgraded to 320 MB max.
    http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=5769&ft=m&St=3

    64 MB module which was fitted with your laptop should not be removable.
    So in this slot ONLY this 64 MB module could work properly.

    I know it's strange but the computer world is sometimes strange ;) you know :D

  • Clean install of windows 8 pro x 64 on a new ssd upgrade, I have windows xp x 32 on a disk hard available, which I no longer use, can I do this?

    I want to clean install windows 8 pro x 64 on a new ssd upgrade.

    I have windows xp x 32 on an existing hard drive which I no longer use, I can do this, that I can start the upgrade process, and then point the installation on the new SSD?
    I really don't want to install XP on the new SSD and am not bothered about keeping programs or settings

    How to do a clean install:

    Step 1: Use the upgrade wizard to describe the PC and pay the $40 (US)

    Step 2: When the 'Install Windows 8' message appears, select 'Install by creating media' to create a bootable USB key or .iso (a disk image) file.

    Step 3: Wait for the Wizard download Windows 8 Pro installation package and create the bootable media or .iso file. The flash player must be having 3 GB or more of free space available.

    Step 4: Burn the .iso file, if that's the path you have chosen, to a blank DVD.

    Step 5: Use this key USB or DVD to boot the PC.

    Step 6: When you get to the screen in the Setup program that asks, "which type of installation you want?" choose "custom".

    Step 7: Select a drive for the operating system partition in the next screen. At this point, you can create a new partition if there is enough space available or reformat the hard disk.

    Step 8: Proceed with the installation of Windows 8 Pro.

    You should probably do a phone activation after installation is complete.

    1. press the Windows key + X , and then click run, and then type: slui.exe 4

    2. then press the ENTER"" key.

    3. Select your "country" in the list.

    4. choose the option "activate phone".

    5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.

    6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.

    I came across the solution. In addition to download creative cloud, I needed to return to the site and download the trials for the programs I want to use - Photoshop and Lightroom. Once I did, I was in business. Save bad if this was done in light on the download site.

  • HP XT Pro Ultrabook spectrum: Spectrum XT Pro will not work without charger

    Hi all

    Summer look far for an answer to this problem. Made an account here to try to find more answers. So Hello to everyone!

    We have an older spectrum XT Pro notebook that I received from another user. When I got up, the battery was dead, and material UEFI scans indicated that the battery needs to be replaced. After checking the part number on the HP PartSurfer's (part number 685989-001), we decided to order online.

    It seems that HP does not have this battery more, so we found a second-hand on Amazon. After a week or so, the battery came, and I installed it without problems. The system is turned on without the charger (huzzah!), so I leave this weekend to recharge before putting to sea.

    This morning, when I came back to check on the machine, the prosecution was capped at 92%. At first, I thought the battery simply need to be recalibrated, but found that when I removed the charge cable, the laptop is dead immediately. A little worried that the battery I received was defective, I ran once again the analysis of material UEFI. This time, the battery has been reported as OK. Very strange.

    I tried updating the BIOS, UEFI material checking, and the drivers on the machine, but none of them make a difference. I unplugged both the main battery and the CMOS battery, but no change in behavior. I have reset the BIOS settings, but there is no change either. If I do a scan of the battery alone or a full analysis, the system reports that all systems are OK.

    The only other thing I noticed is that the battery we ordered has a sticker with part number 686189-001, which does not match the one we ordered. The search of this part on PartSurfer number takes nothing. Apart from this sticker, the battery itself is identical, with the same voltage and the same power and the same number of secondary part of the 685855-1 b 1. I guess that it is possible typo, and batteries are indeed identical parts.

    If anyone has any ideas why this machine is not working off battery power, I am open to try. The system reports to a high battery Windows, but simply refuses to take this battery when I unplug the charger.

    An update:

    So I contacted HP on the battery, and they decided to ship a brand new! After installation, the new battery seems to work just like new. Success!

    Not sure what was wrong with the old, but happy that I was able to get a fix.

  • Question of cloning for SSD upgrade on 12 Macbook Pro

    Previously, I did an upgrade to SSD on my Macbook Air to 2012 according to the instructions of JetDrive transcend. Basically connection via USB 3 and using Mac OS X to clear (and format) disc utilities new SSD, then restore again SSD and then remove the original 128 GB SSD and insert the new 480 GB SSD.  For about a month and so far without problem.

    Now I'm trying to 2012 Macbook upgrade my Pro partner (on 10.11.6).  I got a Crucial SSD MX300 to replace his HARD drive.  Crucial comes with (or recommend) Acronis software.  And a lot of the messages of the forum recommend Carbon Copy Clone.

    My question is if I can use the same method for the cloning of the HD as my Macbook Air (just restore disk of Mac OS X utilities)?  This time, I'm upgrading HARD drive and I don't know if something is different.  At the same time, if I got lucky the first time, I don't not ruin Macbook Pro my spouse this time.

    Thank you.

    Yes, you can use disk utility to clone your MBP wives, but unlike CCC, it will not clone the recovery and Partition.

  • Mac Pro early 2008 OS 10.6.8 at 10.11 on a new SSD upgrade

    Hi all!

    I want to spend my Mac Pro hard drive to an SSD with a new installation of El Capitan, but I also want to continue to use Adobe CS3 (I can't afford a new version... > _ <).  I read that some people have a lot of problems after upgrading their operating system, even when you use the legacy of Java 6 to CS3.

    Someone at - it good tutorials step by step to install a new OS on a SSD?  I have the adapter for my Mac to use the SSD drive also.  I'm not * that * tech savvy, so I don't want to spoil anything!  :\

    Would it not be possible to keep my current hard drive with Snow Leopard and run Parallels or Fusion for Adobe CS3 on my SSD?  I've never used Parallels or Fusion (preferences?), so where the Snow Leopard operating system to be need?  On a partition on the SSD or can it be on its own hard drive (the one I'm currently using)?

    Also do not know when I improve my OS, how do I tell my Mac to start El Capitan and not Snow Leopard so I keep the older operating system on its own hard drive?  It is system-> startup disk preferences?  Is that how I can go back, if I need to?

    Here are my specs:

    Mac Pro early 2008 (MacPro 3,1)

    Quad-Core Intel Xeon 2.8 Ghz

    16 GB RAM 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM

    HARD drive 500GBx2 (one is currently my Time Machine, I'll use it as a backup of my photos)

    500GB SSD (no not in my Mac still installed)

    4 TB HARD drive (will have Time Machine on half)

    El Capitan would be really slow on my Mac Pro or should I go with the Mavericks or Yosemite?  I'm just trying to extend the life of my Mac as long as possible!

    I'm really sorry for all the questions!  Thank you very much for any help!  ^____^

    ~ Christina ~.

    -Unless you have already "purchased" Mavericks or Yosemite is is not available for download.

    -I just download the installer of El Capitan from the Mac App Store and run it and order that EL Capitan to be installed on the new SSD. You can then by pressing the Option key at startup to choose which version of the OS you want to boot from. You can set either as the default startup in system preferences > startup disk.

    -During installation, you use the configuration wizard to migrate SN drive stuff. YO can also do it later using Migration Assistant but who has created a new used with the migrated data.

    -With 16 GB of RAM and an SSD El Capitan will be fine
