T510 SSD - what Windows7

Hello.

I want to upgrade my Thinkpad T510 with a nice and fast Samsung 840 (as it has always been surprisingly slow for some reason any).

Is there a way I can get my hands on the windows installation disc 7? They seem not to be supplied with the computer. Rather, there seems to be a recovery on the hard drive partition, but is not very useful in this case. What could I do?

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum!

You should be able to burn a set of this recovery partition recovery disks (Control Panel > Lenovo-factory recovery disks) and install the OS on the SSD.

  • What windows7 do I need for a new generation of PC without HP software on the HARD drive?

    If I had to use my HARD drive in new construction, what windows7 do I need? OEM, updated or complete.

    My HARD drive has an OEM vista and I want to use this HARD drive to a new motherboard without any software/drivers HP.

    Get out the HARD drive and install in the new PC with al lthe data it is about that now and then make a record of Bios?

    Hello

    Your best way to go is to buy a copy of Windows 7 retail and perform a new installation of the present on the HARD disk when your build is ready - just insert the Windows 7 DVD and restart the computer to boot from it and start the installation (choose the custom option).

    The main reason I'm saying this is because a change of MB is considered to be a paradigm of the PC, it is not covered by the terms of the OEM license, then your Vista OEM validation will fail as soon as you run it with the new MB - which also preclude the possibility of upgrade to Windows 7.

  • Change HDD to the SSD, what are the options?

    Hi guys, new to the forum, I just bought a thinkpad x130e during a sales event on one of the local retailer, pretty excited, because I like the rugged design.

    I am looking to upgrade to 320G HDD for one SSD 128G... but I have no installation disc 7 windows very practical, so, what are the options for me to install the operating system (windows 7).

    I don't know if there is a way to transfer the whole of the SSD HARD drive? is there a trick to perform? or quite simply, I just bought the new copy of windows?

    COS, I noticed that I have a windows7 pro product key at the bottom of my thinkpad, I kinda don't want to lose money.

    Help, please...

    You don't need to buy another copy of Win7. You will need

    1 SSD. It has to be is not 7mm thick, the most common 9.5 mm thick.

    2 USB box for your HARD drive,

    3. software to "clone" the content of your disk to your SSD. Acronis True Image is a well-respected package that does this. There are also a few free utilities that can do this, however, I'm not familiar with them.

    Procedure:

    1. move the HARD disc on the outer envelope.

    2 put the SSD in the X130e.

    3 reboot from the HARD disk. (You need to interrupt the boot with the blue ThinkVantage button to specify).

    4. install Acronis (or equivalent).

    5 RIP clone disk. You will have to tell the software how you resize partitions because you go to a smaller drive.

    6 restart from SSD.

  • Possible replacement of SSD - what to disable?

    I bring my 2012 MacBook pro SSD checkup/possible replacement.

    I have a Time Machine backup, and Super Duper image.

    What applications can I disable (if any)... Photographer Adobe CC (2014), perfect photo suite 9, nik collection, many applications of the "Topaz", print the Image are all on my MBP and iMac. Can I disable them? Just in case where the SSD is replaced or deleted?

    What about other applications like Dragon Dictate, printing 3 or Vuescan?

    I also use Dropbox (my cat LR there is among other things) - I would like to turn off sync with the MBP? Can I remove some Dropbox files?

    Thank you...

    If you have a backup of good machine, time, current, known and one clone of Super Duper that you plan to use to restore your Mac and there is no need to disable or disconnect from all Adobe software. You will restore it on the same exact system.

  • New OEM SSD - what is best backup/upgrade? (SD7SN3Q256G1002 - Zenbook UX305FA)

    Bought Asus Zenbook UX305FA-USM1 with this SanDisk model M.2 SSD 256Go (search here the text "peripheral storage"; or "and M.2 SSD module" for SSD in the photo).  This is my first experience with SSD and I'm more than a little impressed!

    But I worry about SSD and might like to have an image clone SSD ready at any time to replace the factory unit.  But a call to technical support phone SanDisk could not immediately recommend a replacement but rather suggested to contact Asus first for their recommendation.  So I come here first for suggestions.  A capacity of about 256 GB is sufficient for me, especially since the largest units seem to be out of my price range.

    I'm still learning about new connections since the old days of IDE... but I think this isn't "M2", SATA III (?).  By the look of it, it's a 80mm in length.

    I'll probably have follow-up questions, so I'll leave my question to that for now...  Any suggestions? ... anyone with experience?

    SanDisk does not sell a SSD m2 to the retail, so he would not have a SanDisk SSD you can buy separately for your computer. Now that said if your computer has a 2.5 SATA port "or a port MSATA form factor of SanDisk options there but m2 is not sold at retail.

Could someone ' a please advise please.

    The minimum I recommend is 80 GB, if you can go for 128 GB to 160 GB, I would go for it.

    Windows 7 uses 10 GB of disk space, and you have to take into account future, Service Packs and updates.

    You must also consider your page file size that will depend on the amount of RAM you have installed.

    Other disk space requirements include your programs and hardware drivers.

    The benefits of having an SSD is to accelerate the performance of the operating system and applications. In order to have a just installed SSD for upgrading the operating system on a mechanical HDD as well as your programs wouldn't make sense. Store content or data that you create on the HARD disk.

  • Laptop: how to make my laptop for one SSD

    Hey everybody,

    I would spend my hard drive of the laptop to an SSD, what are some of the things that I should look for to upgrade successfully, and this may affect my 10 Windows license?

    Thank you

    Bill

    For some people, upgrade a laptop to an SSD can be like diving into the deep end of a pool.

    An SSD upgrade may involve extensive disassembly of your laptop, depending on the model.

    Some models have hard disks that are easier to access than others.

    There are the small, but important detail involving accepting the risk of damaging your computer laptop and breach of warranty.

    You will need to decide if you want to migrate your operating system to the new SSD or perform a new installation of Windows.

    If you have already upgraded the operating system of the Windows 10 laptop, your laptop will have a digital entitlement on license of Windows servers.

    It's the new Microsoft license model that makes a continuous activation of the operating system.

    As part of the installation where you see a box to put the 25 character license activation key, there is a link below that says, I don't have a key.

    That's what you need to click to continue installation.

    The type of SSD that will be compatible with your laptop depends on some things.

    The first is how your laptop comes to market.

    The second is that your laptop is an entry level or a top model with advanced features.

    The third is based on these interfaces on the card system of your laptop.

    Your laptop may have only SATA ports or it may also have an m2 or a mini PCIe connector.

    Older notebooks (before 2009) will have only 2.5 possible SATA SSD products as an SSD upgrade option.

    It is also dependent on the interface this SSD on your laptop system board and the type of memory and the controller from that your laptop is compatible.

    Which can be determined in several ways.

    The easiest way I know is to take the guesswork out of the purchase of upgrade.

    Which can be done using the information for one SSD manufacturer whose reputation is based on the provision of accurate information to potential customers.

    Check online on the Web from Crucial.com website to see what they offer as guaranteed products compatible SSD for your notebook.

    With the newer models which are eventually provided with SSD, the Maintenance and Service of Guide disks for each laptop will usually specify what memory and type of SSD drive is compatible.

    The Service Guide which has this information and maintenance lies in the support for your laptop computer portal in the section user guide.

    Use the product number of your laptop + support as keywords in a Google or other search engine search for the portal.

    Memory Crucial site is a great place to find compatible SSD products for your laptop.

    http://www.crucial.com/

    Should what brand of SSD I consider? Take a look at the following article.

    You may be one of the lucky ones who installed the SSD and boots for the installer and everything is going as planned.

    Otherwise, it may not be recognized by the installer of Windows or the BIOS.

    Often, an SSD should be prepared before use.

    Many members frustrated author here threads in the forums after having this experience.

    Hold down the Windows key and press the X key.

    Who calls on a menu.

    Choose command-line (Admin).

    Type DiskPart and press to enter.

    Who calls the DiskPart utility.

    After the SSD has been prepared and installation began, the Windows Installer will change the drive letter to C: on its own.

    In the image below, the disks 2 and 3 are Samsung m2 NVMe SSD.

    Some laptops 17 inches come with more than one disk.

    Select the disk and using the command list is very important. If not, you could erase the content and the partitions of the disk with the clean command wrong.

    If the SSD has a GPT partition and a drive letter is assigned, it will be recognized by Windows install.

    Once the SSD has been established, you can start at your choice of media for a clean install, cloning of the OS migration or a resumption of the plant initiated by the use of the recovery media, that you created.

    Since 2012, computers laptops were shipped with BIOS, UEFI and GPT partitioned the disk rather than the old BIOS and MBR partition style.

    This means that you are using Windows install must also be to format GPT UEFI.

    There are free utilities available, such as RUFUS, which can be used with ISO created by Media 10 Microsoft Windows creation tool to create an installer of 10 Windows USB UEFI.

    For other versions of Windows RUFUS can also be used to create the type of installer of your choice.

  • Hybrid drive HDD/SSD in Qosmio F750-11U

    Hello

    I understood that my F750 would have a hybrid drive with 4 GB of SSD, what would be really useful for very quick access when I am in programming.

    I found no mention of it, except in the manual, which says I should go to
    'Start-> all programs-TOSHIBA-> Utilities >-> PC Diagnostic tool' about.

    It is not mentioned there, just drive HARD Go 449.

    So I SSD?

    My number is PQF75E-04W01MGR.

    Any help is appreciated.

    AFAIK the 11U F750 is equipped with a SATA Solid State hybrid 500 GB drive (7200 RPM) that supports and includes 4GB NAND flash.
    This allows you to boot the system much more quickly.

  • Y510P 59373392: SSD upgrade via UltraBay?

    Hello

    I'm new on Lenovo and I'm about to buy one of the Y510P (59373392) with simple graphics and the 1 TB version.

    The last question I have is if it is possible to install an additional SSD via slot-in DVD. I need the DVD drive, so it would be wonderful to install a 128 GB or SSD 256Go.

    I read a few topics, and saw that the motherboard isn't an mSATA connection, but it must have a NGFF connection if I'm right. Since I'm not very experienced with laptops, here are a few additional questions

    (1) if it is possible to install an additional SSD, what are the products available?

    (2) where can I get the UltraBay adapter?

    (3) would it then possible to make the disk bootable SSD?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    Yes, as long as it corresponds to the SATA connection.

    It will be much faster if the SSD is inside as the SSD will not depend on the speed of transfer of caddy. as it connects directly to the Board of Directors.

    Yep, remove the HARD drive inside the unit and put the SSD can connect the HDD with the Caddy.

  • Disable the protection against shock - SSD

    I was wondering if there was a way to disable the active protection system in my Lenovo Y560. I have recently replaced my original HDD with a SSD, what makes this useless system. This computer is about 3 years and it is currently running Windows 7 Home Premium, if it changes anything.

    After reading the forums, I have not found all messages that seem to offer a procedure step by step on how to do this. Tech unsavvy, I limited myself looking for the control panel in the hope of resolving this issue, but nothing helps. I thought that I post here so I'm looking for more information.

    Thanks in advance.

    Just uninstall the software that allows the protection against shock in Add or Remove Programs Control Panel. This can cause to have an "unknown device" in Device Manager.

    Hi HP! I am a customer who uses an Hp product, have a laptop model HP ENVY M6-1125dx. I asked about this hardware upgrade thing. My problem is that I see a mini PCI - Ex right next to my Wifi card slot, so I take a look at the manual and his told me that my laptop can be upgraded to a 32 GB MSATA SSD (cause is using my laptop intel i5 - 3210 m chip). I would like to ask if I may or may not be upgraded more than 32 GB ssd, what the textbook says. Ex: I want to upgrade to ssd 128 GB msata. Is this possible? And what would happen if I switch to ssd 128 GB msata through mini PCI - Ex. thank you!

    The 32 GB mSATA ssd is intended to be used by the software Intel IRST.

    You can add a higher capacity SSDS mSATA and use it as storage or even boot into an operating system with him. If you do this, do not use the Intel IRST software because it will use part of the SSD for the cache and the rest will not be usable.
