Many thanks in advance

To upgrade your hard drive for an SSD, you must get an SSD that is the same format as the HARD drive.  Looking for a standard 2.5-inch SSD.  So that SSDS might work, however, you have read above, I would say something a little bigger.

This SSD as it is a pretty good, and it is now on sale for $105: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-2-5-Inch-Internal-MZ-75E250B-AM/dp/B00OAJ412U?tag=slicinc-20&ascsubtag...

  • What will happen with my agent and active Windows 8, I will have bought with the laptop after I swap HDD with SSD?

    Original title: replacement disk and windows.

    Hello guys.

    I am considering buying a new laptop. The model that I found and I like has a HARD drive if I want to replace it with the SSD to the format of my previous laptop. (Due to the low energy consumption, greater speed, etc.). So I have a 256 gb SSD in my previous loan of laptop replace new one HARD disk, yet what will happen with my agent and active Windows 8, I will have bought with the laptop?

    I can reinstall windows 8 on the SSD, but I don't have a key to activate their... How will I be able to get the key from previous series if the laptops will only work with a recovery partition these days here? I asked a guy in the store, I buy my laptop since and he told me that he does not know and I have to ask for help. However, to create a message of support I need a serial number of the model I did not because I have not yet bought a laptop, so I don't know what to do... I really don't want to stick with the HARD drive, but also I can't afford another model.

    Is it possible to do a recovery with my laptop disk when I get it, then replace the drive with my SSD and run the recovery disc I made?

    The laptop I want to buy is an Asus if that helps...

    Thanks in advance...

    The 'Raw' State is not necessary, it is the State of any drive (SSD drive or hard drive) would be in if you just remove a disk new in box and will need to be "initialized", since you have already used the player already initialized sound.

    Do not format the drive, rather than delete all existing partitions, (the SSD shows then as being "unallocated"). Now you are ready to restore the backup Image you created. During the restore process Acronis will recreate the partitions that were on the hard drive on your SSD.

  • Z560 - replace the HDD with SSD - solved using OneKey Recovery

    Hey guys,.

    In a few days time Santa is put me an SSD, OCZ Vertex 3 120 GB.

    I think to clone the drive following this guide: http://www.ssdfreaks.com/content/664/how-to-clone-hdd-to-ssd-with-windows-7s-own-software and I'm a little confused on the partitions that are currently on the disk.

    I have:

    Local disk C: 552,55 gb,

    LENOVO 28.8 GB D:

    and a partition unassigned 14.75 GB.

    Does anyone know what contains the unassigned partition? I guess that's the One - Key recovery software? If this is the case, then I intend on deleting the D: Partition, which currently contains drivers, narrows the C:\ about 100 GB and cloning then the C:\ 100 GB and partition unassigned... will this work?

    Bravo guys!

    Rastaman

    Hey guys,.

    I got my Vertex 3 today and it is ridiculously fast. Totally recommend it if you can afford it. Anyway, I discovered how do I reinstall my laptop, and I'm going to ask you now:

    (1) One Key Recovery Opened and clicked on 'create recovery disk', followed by 'default recovery drive '.

    (2) thought - sod it, I'll just stay in my new SSD and see what happens. Inserted, set the BIOS to boot from the DVD drive, and then install windows.

    (3) gain?

    In fact, I found myself with

    C:\ 96,84 GB

    Partion unnamed (14, 75 GB) - this is the area of a key recovery

    Unnamed (200 mb) - partition likely etc boot sector reserved by operating system - seen elsewhere on other systems and is quite normal!

    So yes, that happened on a NEW SSD building, which had not been formatted before - OneKey Recovery did everything by himself.

    I hope this helps people in the future!

    Merry Christmas!

  • Guide: replace the HDD with SSD, Lenovo Y480

    Lenovo
    That's how I replaced my HDD with a SSD in my Lenovo Y480. I did it immediately, so there is no user file to consider. I used a key from Lenovo recovery. Read this guide in its entirety before starting.

    Execution time: about an hour.

    Items, you will need:

    -Y480 Lenovo

    -New SSD (I chose a Mushkin Chronos Deluxe because my research lead me to conclude that it is the best available from June 2012)

    -Small Phillips screwdriver

    -Butter knife or similar to remove the HARD drive. There is not much space for your fingers in there.

    -DVD-r blank

    Step 1

    Turn on the computer.

    Step 2

    Write the number '1' on a blank DVD-R and insert into the optical drive.

    Step 3

    Press the small button just to the right of the power button. This launches a recovery key.

    Step 4

    Follow the instructions on the screen to make restore disks. I chose the factory restore option, which required three DVD - Rs. label each disc with numbers to let you know in what order to use them later. Once it is finished, place back #1 DVD into the optical drive.

    Step 5

    Physically remove the hard drive and insert the SSD drive by following the instructions below.

    1. turn off and unplug your computer, flip upside down.
    2. remove the battery.
    3. remove the access panel by removing the two screws and slide.
    4. remove the two screws that hold the hard drive carrier.
    5 remove the hard drive by lifting upward. There is a right angle SATA adapter plugged into the hard drive. This card just came out with the hard drive.
    6 disconnect the hard drive adapter and plug it on the SSD.
    7 unscrew the hard drive bracket and screw it on the SSD.
    8 put the SSD drive in the Bay, screw the support down and replace the access panel. Be sure to screw it up.
    9. replace the battery, lock.

    Step 6

    If you did not already the first recovery DVD in the optical drive, use a paper clip to open the optical drive and insert the diskette. Close the drawer, then turn on the computer to start the restoration.

    Step 7

    Select the boot drive by pressing F12 when you see the Lenovo logo during startup, and then select the optical/DVD drive in the list.

    Step 8

    Follow the instructions on the screen. The first time that I did, restoration impossible immediately, probably because of a missing partition. However, after restarting the computer by performing a battery pull, then continue to step 6 restore completed successfully.

    I have not compared this drive, but I can tell you that the Windows experience index is 7.9 and startup time is 24 seconds now. The base index is 6.8 for this system now.

    You will find that Windows has already helped TRIM. However, regular defragmentattion was still on. I think that the system restore has been disabled automatically.

    Good luck

    Matt

    I saw no option for this, and I was quite surprised, that he didn't do it automatically. I'm not an expert on everything, so what follows is a guess.

    Perhaps that if you create a partition on the SSD first, recovery will recognize and use it.

  • Replace the HDD with SSD boot disk and use the disk HARD now as secondary storage

    I would like to replace my dv7 - 6143cl HDD with a SSD boot drive and using the OEM HARD drive as secondary storage.

    I have the SSD and the caddy

    I need to:

    delete the original OEM HD

    Install the SSD

    install OEM HARD drive in secondary Bay

    Install Win 7 (I don't have install disks - what is on the HARD drive in his backup partition)

    or I have to

    delete this HD

    Install the SSD

    go into the BIOS, and then assign him drive in AHCI (etc.)

    Install Win 7

    install OEM HARD drive in secondary Bay

    etc.

    I want to dual-boot, if possible, but I think that the second HD (start-up disk) does not start, even if I change the settings in the BIOS

    is this true?

    Thank you very much

    Hello:

    Your BIOS is set to AHCI (or RAID) by default. It cannot be changed.  Look in your device manager and in the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers section, look to see if there is a controller SATA ACHI he.

    If so, you have an AHCI BIOS default.

    If you go further down the line in Device Manager and see a section of storage controllers, click on that, you would see a SATA RAID controller and your BIOS is set to default RAID.

    I don't have your model laptop so I don't know if HP has implemented some models double disk RAID or AHCI.

    So... First, copy your original C:\ drive SWSetup folder and save that to a portable hard drive. That must contain all the files installation for the drivers and the software provided with your PC. You can search this folder for programs that you may want to reinstall after your new SSD drive HARD primary.

    To install W7 on your SSD, check your own install of W7 disc.  Here's how:

    If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

    Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

    Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

    Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

    The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

    Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

    Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

    Can't answer your question on the dual boot as I never did before.

  • Silence X 230: Swap HDD to SSD or install mSATA SSD HARD disk?

    Hello

    I have a x 230 with a 320 GB of HDD (7500 RPM) and want to replace it with an SSD for a fully automated machine.

    Right now, most of the time the only sound I hear the machine is the rotation of the disk HARD and TP Fancontrol watch that especially fans are not at all turns. I can afford a 128 GB SSD, but I am confused if I should replace the HDD with a SSD or complete with an mSATA SSD and install Windows, instead. The latter of course would give me 320 GB of HARD drive space, which would be nice, but my priority is the silence, so I need to know if the HARD drive can be powered completely except when I need files from it? If the HARD disk wakes up now and then because of some hidden Windows processes that I can't control, I'd rather than with an ordinary SSD instead of the mSATA SSD. I can live with less space.

    Does anyone have experience with this?

    Thank you

    If you install your operating system and applications on the mSATA ssd and just use the HARD drive for file storage then I think the HARD drive will only turn up when you access these specific files.

    Control Panel (Power Options) and Lenovo Power Manager settings for the hard disk turns off after a period of inactivity. However, the settings apply to all readers. Individual hard drives have no separate settings. I think that the system will not shut down the drive hard as long as there is activity going on in an mSATA SSD.

  • HP laptop - 15-ay107ne: replace the HDD with SSD

    Hello, I am aiming to change my HARD drive with an SSD on my HP laptop. But the licensed operating system and recovery are shipped at the disk of existting on my machine. Is it possible to move them to an SSD and reinstall the OS on the SSD?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    No, the licensed operating system isn't on the old HDD, is so on the BIOS of your machine you can install SSD of fees if you wish. Pleae Note: you can install olny a swme version/edition of Windows 10.

    The quick and easy way:

    1 creating the USB drive recovery using HP Recovery Manager then return files after installing the SSD.

    2 clone existing HARD drive SSD using cloning software, then exchange them.

    Kind regards.

  • Replace the HDD with SSD in 15-j171nr

    I want to do an Exchange standard by removing the 750 GB 5400 RPM SATA HDD and replace it with a 250 GB SSD. What I want to know is if I take out the HARD drive and 24 GB SSD cache, I may be able to upgrade with a 8 GB of additional ram, since I no longer have conflict with the hybrid hard drive?

    Yes No problem. You could indeed move to 16 GB of RAM, even with the current configuration. However, the powerful optimal configuration is an SSD in the location of primary SATA hard drive and no WSSD and 16 GB of RAM.

  • Measures of software right for remove mSata 32 GB drive cache to replace the HDD with SSD.

    Hi, does anyone have instructions, or so point me to an article, to remove the disc from cache mSata original 32 GB configured to speed up drive HARD etc so the office strictly from the HARD drive boot can drive alone. I know that this implies the RST and possibly the BIOS settings. I'm looking for the exact steps that I had bad experiences removal (and adding) 32 GB mSata led cache in the past. System does not boot... Note I didn't need no guidance on physically remove the disk and for the curious once I have a clean boot of the only HARD disk I will clone the SSD (2.5 which I already have) so the 32 GB mSata is redundant and I would remove it completely. I am also interested by your experiences and/or complications in doing this. Thank you.

    These instructions may be of any Dell desktop, the office in question is a Dell XPS 8700.

    Hi all

    Here are the exact steps I used to replace a HARD drive accelerated with an SSD without any problem. It will probably work on most laptops and Dell desktop computers. In my case a Dell XPS 8700 running Windows Pro 64-bit 10.

    1 rapid Storage Technology, performance-> Disable Acceleration tab-> makes available.

    2. use DISKPART to CLEAN the drive 32 GB mSata.

    3. run msconfig.exe to set the mode to boot without failure, a minimum.

    4 stop.

    5. press F2 at startup to enter BIOS. Change to AHCI RAID. (probably not necessary, but I wanted that you never know what SSD tools may need).

    6 mine starts in Mode safe very well and it has changed Windows 10 AHCI RAID drivers automatically.

    7 run msconfig.exe to change normal startup.

    8 re-boot (started fine normal start-up).

    9. I then stop and removed the 32 GB mSata reader (you probably do this stage 4)

    10 success, XPS 8700 AHCI HHD boots without any problem.

    11. I then used Acronis True Image HD provided for free with the 1050 GB Crucial SSD to clone the 2 TB drive (650 GB used). Important do not use Acronis in Windows mode but create and boot from a bootable USB key. Community.crucial.com/.../172487

    12 put the SSD in a basket of 3.5 and swapped the HHD with the SSD. Now, it starts in a few seconds and not minutes after a Windows 10 update!

    It worked for me, but obviously not guaranteed to work for you...

  • XPS 8700 swapping HDD to SSD

    Just received new XPS 8700 and swap wanted immediately to the factory installed 1 TB of HDD to a new Samsung 256 GB SSD. Given that Dell did not provide a Windows backup a DVD, I removed the HARD drive and tried to clone for SSD by using another computer running Windows 8. However, neither software Samsung SSD or EASEUS Todo Backup Free would allow me to clone the whole HARD disk, the SSD is smaller.

    EASEUS has the possibility of reducing a selected partition so I could try to clone only the system partition main which is 940 GB but contains only 40 GB of data, mainly from windows and other software drivers, but I'm afraid that if I clone the other partitions, including the recovery of those, I will not be able to restore the system in the future.

    Technician Dell told me to use an OEM Windows 8 drive for a clean install on the SSD, but I did not and fear may lose everything that Dell has installed on the HARD drive.

    Should I continue the cloning attempts to use other software that allows to shrink the partitions if they contain no data - which one? Or XPS from the startup HARD drive as it is, make a record of system backup/image then, restore it to the SSD?

    Help will be very appreciated!

    The Dell recovery partition can be easily removed without rendering the system unbootable, so my suggestion would be to leave them alone.

    What year Macbook Pro that you have not included.

    The new Macs are not otherwise expandable. The batteries are soldered in RAM is soldered in, SSDS are difficult to find.

    If you use one of the templates earlier from 2009 to 2013, they are upgraded.

    Replacement of the HD with a SSD will not damage your motherboard.

    Here are some videos that you can check out OWC that show you how to upgrade your RAM and hard drive to SSD. http://eShop.MacSales.com/installvideos/

    Upgrading your hard drive for an SSD will make your computer run much faster. Also if you migrate to El Capitan, upgrading your RAM 8 GB is also a good idea.

  • Replacement of Pavilion g7 - 2233cl HDD with SSD?

    I have a Pavilion g7 - 2233cl that the HARD drive has failed recently, was planning to move to an SSD. I'm trying to figure if the SSD I look is compatible with my machine.

    This is a link to the product on Amazon.

    Thank you!

    I can't recommend a disk of 60 gigs. A base installation of Windows will run about 20 concerts and you have hibernation files and to restore files, applications (MS Office is 10 GIG more) and these and before you know it the drive will be full. You actually can't fill 100% so the actual capacity is above about 55 concerts. Yes, I'll tell you get a 128 gig. Here's a concert 128 for not much extra money:

  • Win7pro Activation fails after replacing the HDD with SSD on HP Mini 5102, SP1 would be the issue?

    Hi all

    Displays the first time here, be it a Sunday I can't contact customer service...

    I bought my HP a few months ago and had an Indilinx SSD detached from my updates. Think the mini 5102 would be the best place to put the Indilinx (G2 Intel went in the largest notebook).

    After going through the pain of a full reinstall (best way for ssd), , I had the machine works very well with all the updated drivers and updates to the OS, but have obviously forgotten to activate (as it appears on the system properties page). I thought the network would be the best place to get the last of my tasks of re.

    BTW, factory installed Windows 7 Pro 32 bit...

    So I have just run the activation routine and do NOT have! Using the initially installed key.

    1. Could this have caused the bone now have Service pack 1?
    2. Could it be changing right on HARD for one SSD drive?

    Should I call Microsoft or HP?

    (I have the disk HARD original (with intact BONES) for the replacement if necessary).
