Steps for non-techie replace HDD on T42?

My trusty T42-2378-R6U runs out of room.  I want to upgrade the hard drive, but I don't know what steps I have to take for this.  I am running Win XP.  Please start from the beginning... I've never done this before.

While I'm this should I install more RAM?  I currently have 1 GB installed.

All other maintenance things I do while I opened the machine?  Replace the fan?

Thanks in advance,

Koshki

  • Replace HDD SSD Lenovo Y500 Guide?

    Hello everyone I'm going to keep it is as simple as possible. I would trade my HDD in my Lenovo Y500 with a 1 TB SSD. My Y500 has the 16 GB of cache if that helps. I think it's a 2.5 "HDD but what kind. What is an mSata or Sata?

    The physical installation, I can do easily, but what is the best way to backup and transfer things to the SSD?

    I'm pretty decent with computers and I have some knowledge on this operation. I would like to transfer all my SSD HARD drive this includes the OS(windows 8) and all the other necessary components. I would do it with a DVDR that is 4.6 GB I think. It's a brand new computer, so I have no files, docs etc that I have to worry.

    Please can someone answer my questions I would really appreciate the help of the community.

    Please post a guide step by step for me and others to use!

    Thanks a ton

    I found it easier to use an mSATA replacing the 16 GB one with a 256 GB SSD version. It runs at 6 Gbps.

    Windows 8, I have installed from a copy retail DVD instead of imaging on the 1 TB drive. The activation key for Windows 8 is built in your bios. Windows automatically detected 8 mine installed without asking for it and active without problem.

  • iCloud, sharing photos for Non - iOS users

    So, I use iCloud for about two years now, and it does for the most part, what I want and need to. However, whenever my family and I go camping during the weekend, take a vacation or just to Barbecue a Sunday afternoon, we have a ton of photos on a large number of devices. For the wife and children, this isn't a problem since we have all of the iPhones and use iCloud. But, it seems that we are facing a problem whenever someone on an Android phone has a few pictures they want help or like to download some pictures that we have added.

    Y at - it an easy way for non - iOS users view and/or edit albums shared iCloud without going through a several-step process (transfer of office, download third party app, etc..)? It is my understanding that an Android user should be able to display/change via a web browser, but don't seems to work. I looked at other cloud services and apps, and major issues, in that I continue to run are:

    1: having to pay another Cloud Computing service, when I already pay for iCloud is not economic.

    2: I find a lot of the photo-sharing applications and services give a lot of storage, but at a cost to the quality of the photos. My wife and her friends are always doing something creative with your impressions so even some 'high quality' compression can degrade enough make it unusable.

    3: I have a hard time to ask someone to download an application, not to mention of asking them to pay for one. Nor am I comfortable someone jump through hoops, just so that I can watch through a batch of photos in the hope of finding one or two which are useful.

    So, is there an easy way to do it, or I'm stuck or wait for Apple to understand a feature like this would be useful or leave iCloud for a solution amicably more cross-platform? I do not understand that Apple needs to focus on the development and support of applications and services for its ecosystem and customer, but would it not make sense to make it convenient for outside users to have a great experience too?

    I don't know what problems you encountered but the sharing Web site works fine for me.

  • Looking for Non-iTunes Apple TV 4 movies

    The new remote control and the method to search for non-iTunes movies is absolutely useless. So I hope we get an update soon for a search of movies, similar looking for my music.  For people who have a large media library (more than 1000 films), the new Apple TV is a bit useless and frustrating reality (the exact opposite you would like in a user interface).  Don't know who has signed off on this design.

    We had no music or Showtime or PBS included at launch, but they are now included. I suspect as with Siri on iOS, we will see the continued evolution with Siri on tvOS...

    Research on your Apple TV (4th generation) - Apple Support

    Search for movies and television shows in several applications at the same time

    Use of Siri (in some countries) or the search application to search for movies and shows through applications on your Apple TV (4th generation). You can search by title, genre, actor and more. With Siri, you can also narrow your search, you go.

    When you are looking for content with Siri or the application of the research, the Apple TV checks these content providers, with more to come soon:

    • United States: Film and television shows in iTunes, HBO GO HBO NOW, Hulu, Netflix, PBS, PBS Kids, SHOWTIME, SHOWTIME anytime
    • Australia, Canada, France, Germany and United Kingdom: movies and television shows available on the iTunes Store and Netflix
    • Other countries and regions: movies in iTunes

    To search for content in one application at a time, just open the app and use its own search function.

    Research topic

    • You can use the search application to find applications in the App Store. Siri research applications in the App Store.
    • If you have a subscription to Apple's music, you can use the app or Siri Apple's music search.
    • The search app and Siri do not search home Shared libraries.
