Thank you very much for the reply. Problems of compatibility with resection I expect the drive size (in GB)? Thank you.

I don't think so. The only problem, what could happen is that the recovery disks don't work because the original hard drive was too big. However, this is not a problem. You can perform a new installation using the original version of Windows and the product key from the sticker on the laptop. In this case do not activate it online but wait for an activation message (activate by phone) who wakes up early after the new installation.

    Yes, we can get you the manual and plastic case parts are available but rooms not only "detach".

  • Hard drive not detected after adding 2nd mSATA SSD for HP Envy 14 1002tx

    Hello

    I'm having a problem when adding an extra mSATA SSD for my HP Envy 1002tx model.

    The laptop comes with a 500 GB HARD drive and I see that there is a 2.5 "mSATA SSD slot under the HARD drive, so I bought the same type of SSD and installed it but when I turn on the laptop, it does not introduce yourself. I don't know why?

    I want to have an SSD for boot up the laptop and HARD drive to store animals.

    If anyone knows if there is any software I have to install in order for the laptop to recognize the SSD?

    OR

    Is - this material is defective?

    Thank you in advance!

    I'm really sorry, I could not find this before, but the slot under the hard drive is not compatible with the mSATA disks. It's for WWAN modules! Your laptop is not like 4 I thought, but Envy 14 equipped with the first generation of Intel processors. Envy 14-Sandy Bridge 2000 series could be BIOS modded to make the miniPCI-e interface works with the mSATA disks but Envy 14-1000 series is not possible to change.

    Edit: 2.5 "drive 256GB solid state drive is listed as compatible.

  • Upgrade the RAM for HP ENVY dv7-7233nr

    How much could I add? I currently have 481 GB free of 569 GB. My computer will not slow down, but I use this laptop for games and I would like to have more space for custom content for the Sims 3 to download. It works not too badly, but there is a little late, and sometimes it freezes. I don't know if it is possible to add ram, so that's why I'm here.

    I would like to know how I'm going to do.

    Hello

    A little delay could be due to its graphics, BUT you can't do anything on this subject. Your machine currently has 6 GB of RAM:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03509235

    You can switch to 16 GB as shown:

  • HP Envy 15 J 048 tx: mSATA SSD for HP Envy 15 J 048 tx

    Hello!

    I have a HP Envy 15 J048-tx. I want to add an mSATA SSD on my PC and be able to boot from it all by using the HARD drive as internal storage device only. The goal is to make the system run faster (overall and games).

    I don't want to change the HARD drive as more large SSD storage capacity are quite expensive and adding an mSATA as disk startup seems to be a cheaper alternative. Current storage capacity of the PC is 1 TB and a 1 TB SSD will fix me by about 34 000 INR (which is a lot), while adding a 250 GB mSATA is about 7-8 000 INR and 500 GB is 12-13 000 INR. Already, I have a lot of external hard drives and do not want to reduce the storage capacity of integrated system, because that would be to buy more external hard drives.

    The PC came with Windows 8. Other details are

    1. Motherboard: Intel HM87 (revision of Southbridge - C2), 1963 HP (U3E1)
    2. BIOS: F.65
    3. Intel Core i7 4700MQ
    4. Storage: SATA-II 3.0 Gb/s
    5. RAM: 16 GB DDR3

    The product manual indicates this (pg 5 or pdf pg 13): Support for SSD drive 24-GB mSATA (not available on computer models with memory system 16834 - or 12288 MB)

    Contact HP support on twitter and got this response from there : supports 24GO mSATA (not available on models with 16834-MB system memory or 12288 MB) this should work, but the HP recovery media may not work to install, it may fail, the portion of due to the small size of disk partitioning.

    There seems to be an empty slot for the mSATA, but I can't remove the lid more as I don't have the tools for the same. (pictures attached)

    This post on the HP Support says that - the mSATA cannot be used for the operating system and that it is for the acceleration of a regular mechanical hard drive.

    Then there was this post for HP envy 15-j003tx touchsmart which mentions that it is possible to do it with a link on Laptopmag article for the same thing that got me a little confused.

    I also checked with my digital discount and the PC is not listed in the list of compatible devices. However, after going through the comments, I found there were people with any queries similar to me (but for different computers HP) and found this disc , which seems to be compatible. I thought I'd go with 128 GB one but don't know not then sought more. Then I scanned the PC using crucial.com and found these discs to be compatible too (250 GB & 500 GB).

    My questions:

    1. My PC is compatible with most mSATA SSD storage size?
    2. If so, that we go? 500 GB we have any extra advantage or a 256 GB disc will solve the purpose?
    3. The steps mentioned in the article of laptopmag need any changes?

    Images of the system after the opening of the back cover (1 & 2):

    You can add something big, but for 24 concerts for acceleration purposes are sufficient. If you can't find a 24 concert, you can use a 32. Any more than that would be wasted for pure acceleration. The accelerator contains the contents of the memory for a quick recovery from his sleep and also holds start-up files and then the .exe files for the programs that you frequently open like saying the browser or email.

    You can use a larger disk, repeat a 64 or 128 and let the Intel Rapid Storage create say a 30 GB partition for acceleration. The partition of the accelerator is not ntfs, or anything else Windows can be used as a storage device. You can then use the rest of the disc as a storage called disk formatted FAT32 or ntfs. If you do something like Photoshop or video editing it would give you a place to put work files that could be accessed and processed very quickly. But you can not use this partition as a startup or a Windows partition and it would take much diligence to prevent fill.

    If you decide to take the post of reader of acceleration from the establishment requires a configuration that is not totally intuitive.

  • SSD for HP Envy dv4 5312tx

    Hello

    can I add an SSD for my hp dv4 5312tx envy?

    that one is recommended? and how do I restore my 8.1 existing windows to new SSD?

    Kind regards

    Andy

    Yes you can. Here is the Service Manual:

    See page 38. The best SSD buy is a Samsung 840 Evo like this:

    I'm having a hard time finding information about the model you posted. Are you sure you typed it correctly? If you had Windows 8 initially I can link you to an OEM restore disk image. You can also clone the existing overhead for the SSD drive, but you should get a pretty good SSD size to make. You can also use the HP revovery DVD made from the HP Recovery Manager or you can rstore from a backup of Windows System.

  • Upgrade to SSD for HP ENVY 15 t-k000

    I'm looking to upgrade the standard hard drive Toshiba MQ01ABD100 with a Samsung 840 Evo 1 TB (1 TB 5400 rpm). When you watch videos to see how to replace, (http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04330942 video shows that the hard drive is connected to the motherboard with a connector zif to adapter sata.) My question is can I unplug the old hard drive adapter and plug it into my ssd for sata 3 speed or I have to do something else being the standard disc sata hard 2. What choices do I have if I do something else?

    Hello

    SATA III is backward compatible with SATA II. I think that your machine uses SATA III. You can check yourself by using the following small program:

    (Check out, to the title of the disk controller, SATA III is 6 GB/s)

    It is the cable, do not know if you also need a shopping cart:

    You can, but you shouldn't. The port for the optical drive is a SATA-I have the interface. Slower than the port for HDD/SSD.

  • Can I use the recovery discs HP on a new SSD for HP Envy Windows 8?

    Hello

    I've owned my TouchSmart from HP ENVY 15 - j105sa Notebook PC, Ref. F5D08EA for a few months now and I would like to upgrade to an SSD Samsung Evo 840 (500 GB) HARD drive.

    I use the recovery disks that I created when I got the laptop to install the OS on the new SSD? I know that I could do it with previous versions of Windows, but with secureboot etc I do not know if this can be done with Windows 8, I know, it can be disabled in the BIOS, but I have the latest bios update for my laptop that I check regularly.

    Thanks for any help.

    The method the most painless way to do is to buy the new SSD as a migration kit.

    Migration kits are delivered with a USB to SATA data\power connector and cloning software.

    Recovery and recovery usb media discs games requires that the target disk is the same size or larger than the original. In using the method of migration (cloning) will show that a problem.

    It makes you, thank you.

  • I would like to add an ssd for my pavilion dv7

    Hey

    I own a pavilion dv7 4050eb, and I'm looking to add an ssd.

    It has 2 compartments to put a hard drive in my notebook, is currently being used, and the second is empty.

    So I thought that it would not be a problem.

    But when I went to my local computer specialty store (where I bought this laptop), they told me I will not work if the cable connection for a second hard drive and support was not provided with my laptop (which is you case) because they can't get those of HP, no matter how hard they try.

    Is there really no way that HP can provide these simple parts (cable and support)?
    And if I could get those, would there be any problems whith install an ssd in this specific book?

    Thanks in advance.

    You can find the part number for the hard disk hardware kit in the guide Service & maintenance dv7. You can order the part of sellers online or directly from HP online parts store.

  • Want to 15 t Touch: question M.2 SSD for HP Envy 15 t Touch (model 15 t-ae100)

    I ordered the HP Envy 15 t Touch (model 15 t-ae100) with the i7 processors and 4 GB of memory graphic discreet. The Maintenance and Service Guide accurate that there is a slot available for one SSD m2.  From what I can tell, it's a SATA 3 (not mSATA or PCIe) slot that will be a 2280 SSD card.  Three questions:

    1. where did the m2 slot located on the motherboard?  Adjacent to the wireless network adapter?

    2. is there a screw included on the motherboard for the SSD m2 card?

    3. any compatibility likely questions if I get the EVO of 850 Samsung 500 GB m2 (MZ-N5E500BW)?

    Hello @space_thread,

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems, with the help of the community!

    I stumbled upon your post on the SSD question and wanted to help!

    The m2 slot seems to be located next to the memory Modules.  There is a Phillips PM2.0x3.50 screw that secures the SSD to the system board.  Your product supports the following SSD:

    SSD (m2) drive

    256 GB - 812708-001

    128 GB, 2280 M2 - 829985-001

    128 GB (Best Buy SKUs) - 820547-001

    Therefore the 500 GB m2 will be not compatible.  I hope this helps.
