The CQ60 430SA with SSD upgrade

Hello

After much trawling the internet and various research I hope someone can help me to confirm if I can finish the next upgrade.

I have a CQ60-430SA Windows 7 Professional 64 bit stock, with 4 GB of RAM, AMD Turion x 2 64-bit processor (VERY hot) and in recent months have gone through various scans of the system in order to limit start them all programs, Windows updates and various other background programs that made the laptop almost completely insensitive.

He is now back some of its speed of origin but I always find it very laggy and hesitate to open programs, etc..  After reading on the SSD and performance increases that they can bring can tell me if I can replace the Toshiba MK2555GSX ATA HDD currently installed with an evo of 840 Samsung 256 Gb SSD?  I have also reviewed the upgrade of processor Turion Ultra ZM-82, I know to be compatible from the manual of maintenance (below), but are not convinced that he will give me a huge increase in performance (any thoughts?)

http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c02985882.PDF

If I can replace the hard drive with an SSD I also remove the laptop and replace the thermal paste on the processor (already cleaned the fan).  The laptop also needs a battery and external battery to replace.

Thank you very much in advance for any advice given.

You're good to go

    First of all, let me disabuse you of a misconception: Adobe all upgrades are FULL installers.  If you buy upgrades or new versions does not have one iota of difference.  Upgrade installation programs do not need to find a previous version installed, they invite you just for the old serial number as well as the old one and they are not based on the old version in the slightest.

    Second, the time to uninstall an earlier version is BEFORE upgrading to a newer version.  If not, uninstall older versions will mess up with your new installation.  There are a gazillion of the files that are named the same and in the same locations as the other.

    Your best bet now is to uninstall ALL versions of Photoshop, you have it installed, including the newest one, one by one, and then run the Adobe CS clean-up tool, and then run repair permissions of the Apple desktop utility and finally reinstall the latest version.

    The other alternative, if your boot HD is quite large (very questionable in the case of a laptop as a Mac Book), is to leave all the versions on this subject.

    Your choice.

  • Want to 13d061sa: the HP Envy 13d061sa SSD upgrade

    I have a HP Envy 13d061sa, laptop 13.3 inch with 256 GB SSD drive. I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade to 1 TB drive. Also is it extensible owner?

    Thank you

    It is not a replaceable part by the user, so no, not owner replaceable, unless the owner didn't mind accepting complete responsibility for the damage done to the laptop.

    Ensure that you buy the right type of SSD for your notebook. I would say a 512 GB is probably a bertter option.

    A video at the following library shows how to replace the SSD.

  • Replace the HARD drive with SSD on a T530 - noob question

    Hi all

    I have a T530 with conventional hard drive. I want to replace it with an SSD (probably Samsung 840 Pro). When I look at the replacement Web site instructions, they refer to the use of spacers during the installation of an SSD (as opposed to rubber rails that frame apparently my current HARD drive).

    Do I need these spacers in order to install an SSD? If so, should I buy Lenovo?

    Thank you very much

    Jason

    If it's the same outer dimensions transfer you the rails on the replacement drive rubber. They add protection against shocks to the reader while an SSD is pretty shockproof. It does not float around well! If you do not use the rails lose you and probably never find them again if needed.

  • How to upgrade the Qosmio F50 with SSD

    Can anyone recommend an SSD, I would use Intel 80 GB.

    Do I need a Firmware Upgrade or update for VISTA?

    Thanks for help

    Hello

    Qosmio F50 taking care of a SATA HDD controller, you must use a SSD drive that supports a SATA interface

    But the SSD is not much different from a common HARD disk and so it should not be necessary to update any firmware.
    Usually, you need to install just a SATA driver to recognize the SSD drive.

    Your help is very appreciated.

    Kind regards

    acmesoft

    You may not use any mSATA SSD. The purpose of the mSATA SSD is as a cache drive configured with the software Intel IRST. It will not replace the primary hard drive.

    What you need is a SATA SSD to replace your hard drive (legacy) of spinner with. Here is a great article on the How to geek about why you should switch to an SSD.

    The article contains information on the best ways to accomplish the task, including links to software for cloning. I highly recommend buying an SSD as a migration kit. The kits include a usb to SATA cable and software for cloning. Who will do the simple upgrade.

    Here is the guide to maintenance and Service for your laptop. The hard drive is a customer service unit. There on page 47 for instructions that explain how to remove and replace the hard drive.

  • Pavilion dv - 6 3138eo with SSD upgrade

    Hello

    I plan to upgrade my dv-6 3138 (AMD) with a SSD EVO Basic 840-Series 500 GB Samsung. The laptop will support this SSD?

    / Tommie

    Yes,

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02435719

    The Samsung 840 EVO can be used, simply replace HARD drive with it, it might be more slim (7mm) that the HDD (9.5 mm) but you can easily screw it on the hard drive carrier after its withdrawal from the HARD drive. If it frees up space, use the spacer that come with Samsung SSD kit.

    Migration/clone the entire HARD disk (hp recovery partition exclude) for the SSD prior to alternatives to using the Samsung data migration tool that comes with it or download it from the Samsung website.

  • the T5500 to an SSD upgrade

    Hello

    I just bought a T5500, he came with the C2 SATA all drives, no RAID, 2 total configuration of the disk and I think that the integrated Intel chipset SATA 3.0 GB/s controller. I would like to improve it with an SSD with SATA 6 Gbps. Reading other forums, I think I need a different controller but that is all I have to do this work. I also saw that I needed to take a few steps in the BIOS and windows 7 to adequately use the SSD as boot drive.  Does anyone have experience with this type of upgrade?  Thanks in advance!

    The Intel SATA controller on the system is blocked to 3.0 GB/s - you can only make it any faster. However, you can get something like this:

    http://www.automatedwebhosting.NET/product_info.php?products_id=117105

    You can use an SSD with this speed. And since it will unload the controller to use a PCI-e card you could leave your RAID in place.

    It doesn't matter if you do or not, you need to set your SATA controller in AHCI mode in the BIOS. I've never had to do it on a T5500 so I can't tell where exactly it would be in the BIOS but it is usually under 'Storage' or 'Storage controllers.'

    Back up your data first course of a RAID on an AHCI (or do both at once) will require you to reinstall Windows. So make sure that you have all copied a safe place off the coast of the Precision Workstation before you do. See updates section to see if your BIOS has an update. Later one for this system was released on 16/05/2011, version A09

    Hope this helps, let us know if you need additional assistance. I want to clarify for the record that I did this upgrade to a T5500 but you have installed SSD on several other Dell systems & some custom systems.

  • Replacing the CD/DVD with SSD

    Hi, I have a mid-2009 13 "Macbook, and I plan to replace the CD/DVD drive (which it doesn't) with an SSD, instead of replacing it with a new CD player.

    I would move so that OSX and software on the new SSD, leaving other data on my main hard drive. I read that the best solution is to install OSX on the SSD from scratch, since migration it seems impossible, but how then I could remove the 'duplicate' old of my HDD main OSX?
    The entire migration process is not quite clear to me, I wouldn't mind some step by step instructions.

    Thank you in advance!

    1st, I did it on an iMac, so I went through it.

    You can use a utility cloning as Carbon Copy clone (demo fully active 1 month) or SuperDuper free (free for a full clone) to move your boot disk for SSD and it will be fully functional.  In my case, I used Carbon Copy Cloner.  It is even technically possible to use the Applications-> utilities-> disk utility-> restoration as a means to clone the drive, but I find it cumbersome.

    <http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html>

    <https://www.bombich.com/>

    I think you could also just restore a backup Time Machine for the SSD as well (although I did not do that, so I don't know the details).

    You can do a clean install and get rid of any cruft you've accumulated over the years and then install only the stuff that you are currently using.

    Or you could do a clean install and then use the Applications-> utilities-> Migration Wizard move above specific categories of files of initial startup disk.

    After you have the SSD running with your software on it, consider allowing TRIM

    Hello

    Manual: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03733656

    Any good brand of 2.5-inch SSD SATA 7mm thick will be good. SATA3 is reverse compatible with SATA2, so need to bother in this regard. Your laptop has HM87 Intel chipset board, so probably there SATA2 or 3.

    SAMSUNG SSD of 850 Evo is very good. It is SATA3.

    Cloning disk SSD before replacement using the manufacturers Web site migration tools is a good option. I used the Samsung migration tool for my laptop Pavilion 15.

    Prior to migration, perform a thorough cleaning of the drive:

  • Upgrading laptop with ssd. Can I use a Windows 7 system image to install the new ssd?

    Bought nww laptop with Win 7 Home Premium 32-bit and the other pre-installed software. No records have been provided. I want to replace the hard drive with ssd. No other changes. I can create a system image on a dvd and physically swap the drives. I can then install Win 7 using the system image, I created? What other software (Microsoft and elsewhere)? If this is not the case, how can I do without having to buy new software?

    You can clone the installation for the SSD, provided that the SSD is large enough to accommodate the installation to be cloned.

    See http://www.ssdfreaks.com/content/664/how-to-clone-hdd-to-ssd-with-windows-7s-own-software or (easier) use a trial version of Acronis True Image Home 2012.

    Note that, immediately after cloning, you must stop and unplug the original installation. The disc can be reconnected once the DSS started successfully.

    Hello

    I had a similar experience with an upgrade of the SSD.
    I used exactly the same software and has been able to clone partitions of HARD drive to SSD drive and my cell phone did not start the system from the SSD system partition.

    I figured out that the C: partition on the SSD was not marked as active.
    How I solved this?

    Well, I put the SSD in the 2.5 external USB enclosure. Then I booted the laptop using the old HDD. I connected the external SSD drive to the USB port.
    Then I went to Windows disk management and could activate the C partition on the SSD drive.
    Then I replaced the HARD drive with SSD and could boot. :)

  • With the help of an SSD in a 2007 MBP

    Hello

    My first post here, so I'll do my best!

    I did research on the possibility of replacing the standard HDD in my MBP A1226 with a SSD instead. There are a few messages and advice here and around the internet however nothing farm.

    So my HARD drive has given up! In my view, it is possible to replace the old drives with SSD but before I go and spend money does anyone know if a SATA III will work in this model? More old SATA I and II is hard to find these days without spending ridiculous amounts of £££! I realize this id, that it is possible to mount a drive SATA II that I have complete data transfer speed, but there must be better than a normal HARD drive?

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    SSDS tend to be retro-compatible SATA.  Just don't no experience of the full capacity of the SSD in your MBP (i.e. SATA1) like you tells you quite rightly.  However, there are significant performance improvements reflected in the operation of Mbps.
