Star Wars 15-an002ns: SSD installation socket m2

Hello

Recently I bought HP Star Wars Special Edition laptop for laptop - 15-an002n, which comes with 1 TB of HDD. I think it is too slow for the overall power of the rest of the components, and I intend to install a SSD for the OS. Consulted the manual, I see that the laptop has a blank m2 socket and some versions include an SSD there:

M.2 SATA-3 (NGFF):
● SSD 256 GB, 2280, M.2, SATA-3, TLC

I installed some other SATA III SSD, but never a type m2. My questions are:

1 are there compatible with lower capacity models? I want to just install the OS here, so it would be enough with M.2 128 GB SSD.

2 how the BIOS will recognize the new drive as primary drive? I need to change the settings?

3. I alter anything else in the computer. This update will void the warranty?

4 is recommended for installed the OS from scratch in the new drive or could I use disk clone software? In this case, which?

Thanks in advance.

Currently, there is a problem with end users not being able to get this empty housing to recognize a M.2 WSSD drive added after delivery to the details of the laptop. Technically, the trying to jeopardize the warranty but who never stops the hard core of the valuation. So for the time being, until HP provides an answer as to what is happening with m2 slots, I do not recommend that you do the upgrade. If you want to go faster, I recommend that you install a SATA 2.5 inch SSD in place and place of the mechanical hard drive. Even that, however, will show warranty issues.

    Hope that helps you identify the problem.  If I was far away, please send me additional context regarding:

  • I can't play Star Wars Knights Of The Old Republic on Windows 7

    I bought and installed Star Wars KOTOR, but whenever I run the application it says it "a problem caused Windows to stop working" and I have to close, please help me! I managed to perform a compatibility test and I think its incompatible, I need help, its also on my laptop that has no wireless connection or the moder

    "I tried the compatibility settings, each and EVERY single one of them, but it just doesn't work.
    They rarely do and should not be needed with this game anyway.
    I have not had any problems, but apparently many (on these forums, KOTR 2 seems to have more people with problems than the original).
    -Don't you try to install in a default location (custom or Advanced installation)?
    Try to make a new folder in the C:\ drive and you install games to subfolders in
    which. If your HARD drive has another (other than a "recovery" partition) partition that is
    even better.

    Games often updated which are called patches. Patches fix bugs that were in the game when released.
    As the post on the above topic mentions the patch is used only with the original version of the game like the version reissue of a disc at retail, or the Steam version is already patched.

    It's always possible your laptop, the model and specifications of the unknown system

  • Star Wars series

    A lot of new books Star Wars canon are part of the 'Star Wars' series. A lot of books, however, is excluded. It is lost by Claudia Gray stars and most of the path of Force wakes up short stories. Who is the best person to contact to get these books included in the series.

    This has happened once before with my Hunger Games books. Customer support Apple has learned from him, and less than a month, my Hunger Games book has been included in the series 'Hunger Games'.

    Is it just a matter of point out the differences to Apple?

    The best people to contact are the Publisher/owner of the rights to these books, Apple can sell in a country that they are allowed to sell - you can try only asking them through iTunes, but Apple cannot do anything without the consent of the rights holder: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • Star Wars Comics on iBooks

    How is it are not communicated to the only question of the any of the Comics Marvel Star Wars on iBook?  Only the largest volume of releases are out there. The descriptions are not useful as to what issues are in each comic and some volumes; for example, Vader 1 missing in the collection. Is it a problem to Apple, or is this a decision of Marvel?

    It is the decision a Marvel / rights holder, Apple can sell content where they are allowed to sell it. You can try to contact Marvel and ask them to let Apple sell them and you can also try asking them by Apple (but without the agreement of the holder of the rights, Apple will not be able to do anything): http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • Store the Spanish: Star Wars in English

    A few comments. I am British and live in Spain. I suffer by your Spanish store with her Spanish dubbed movies that sometimes are not available in their original language. Despite the fact that you're the best option I have, the Microsoft store and Google game store had little English movies in Spain. I bought in the ecosystem Apple films last month and so far most of the purchases have been great, but the Star Wars we were horrible. Yes, the film is available in English, but you have committed the horror and betrayal Act to leave the famous Star Wars text roll all in Spanish with English subtitles. Terrible! My iTunes client is fully in English. My OS (Windows 10) is also defined entirely in English. In a digital market these things to note and Star Wars nerds like myself should not be exposed to the HORROR of a foreign language imposed on the Star Wars text roll. Please watch in solve this in the future if I get good English through and through.

    As a story aside, I think you should reconsider your encoding, your version of the movie is ok, but it lacks the detail I saw in other editions of HD film on my TV screen.

    You're talking about other users on these forums of users, no support or Apple iTunes.

    The film studio/holder of rights decides which language (s) and/or subtitles and/or features a particular movie has in the Bank of a country, not Apple. You can try to contact the rights holder

  • Satellite C50-A-1 - game "Star Wars: the old Republic ' is lagging

    Hello

    I recently bought a Satellite C series. (C50-A-1 more specficly).
    Problem is when I downloaded star wars: the old Republic, the game lags badly.

    The graphics in the game are set in the lowest possible to minimize lags and yet I still get them. Here's some info of dxdiag, although they should be known for this type of laptop, I suppose that:

    OS: 64-bit windows 8.1
    Processor: 2.13 GHz (2 CPUs) (Intel, Celeron)
    memory: 4096 MB
    DirectX 11

    Please help with it as soon as possible thank you

    Have you already checked the hardware requirements to play this game smoothly?

    C50-A-1 satellite was equipped with an internal Intel HD graphics card.
    This GPU is part of the Intel CPU and to be honest, this isn t graphics card designed for purposes of games.

    To play games smoothly, you need a laptop nVIdia or ATI graphics cards.
