• Compaq 6730 s: upgrade HP compaq 6730 s RAM (4 GB - > 8 GB)

  Hello

  I have a 7 years hp compaq 6730 s running windows and ubuntu. It has 4 GB of ddr2 ram (667 MHz, according to me, but I'm not course on this) and a dual processor Intel Centrino 64-bit. It still works great. But I have to run long analysis and many programs at the same time and that makes it sometimes slow down or even freeze. I was wondering if I should look more than an upgrade of RAM or an upgrade of the processor. I think the first, but I've never done before

  Thank you!

  Hello

  I run Lunix so I don't know how he manages memory. In other Word, I know that we can put the data in memory and eliminate the disk i/o - much, much, much faster but in this word RAM is still very, very expensive. Now, they will put flash card of new machines which is much less expensive to use for page and swap files. In short, more memory is good.

  Kind regards.

• HP compaq 6730 s: windows 10 in my 7 year old HP Compaq 6730 s - should I try it?

  Hello

  I have an old (but surprisingly good job!) 64-bit processor HP Compaq 6730 s, implemented to date with an SSD and 8 GB of ram DDR2 memory. Currently it is dual-boot Windows 7 Home premium, 64-bit edition, pretty well - he gave no problems up to now and Ubuntu 14.04. I'm quite tempted to upgrade to windows 10, but because it's a pretty old computer, I'm not sure of the weather, the material will be fully compatible with w10... and also I don't want to lose my partitions!

  So, what do you recommend me... should I go for it?

  Thank you very much for your help and for creating amazing machines like the 6730 s!

  Hello:

  I have the elitebook 6930p who basically has the same hardware as your model.

  W10 works fine on mine, but I don't have a webcam, nor do I use the fingerprint reader or protect software security tools, so I can't confirm that those who work on W10.

  You should be able to recover to W7 very easily if you do not delete the windows.old folder.

  To return, go to settings > update and secuity >

• Factory Reset my laptop HP Compaq 6730 b

  I want to factory reset my hp compaq 6730 laptop b I do not have the recovery disk. I tried the restore point but only brings me in June of this year, but I want to factory resets this laptop if someone is able to walk me thru it I appreciate the help.

  You are the very welcome.

  You can use the recovery of a DVD on the 3.

  You may be able to run W10 on them.

  After installing all updates of W7 (SP1 and others), if your PC can run W10, you should get a booking W10 icon.

  See this link for more information.

  My HP elitebook 6930p who basically has the same hardware as you ran W8.1 very well.

  He also ran the first 2 preview W10 relies very well.

  All versions since that time, the ricoh cardbus controller then gives an error code 12 (resources).

  I reported this bug to MS and I noticed there were other models HP affected as the 8440p.

  So, unless this bug is corrected and that your machine has the same Ricoh card reader mine, you can probably count on getting the same error.

• Portege R700 - limits of SSD upgrade

  Hello

  I just bought a R700-184 and the plan is to Slingshot W7 Ultimate 64 - bit, 8 GB of ram and an SSD inside

  My question is that it is a standard HARD drive, what are the limits and questions, I am likely to encounter the execution of this upgrade?

  Thanks in advance

  Ben

  Hello

  There is not much difference between the SSD and HDD so usually the laptop must be able to correctly handle the SATA SSD drive.
  In some cases, an update firmware for the SSD drive is necessary, but usually it is provided by the manufacturers of SSDS

• SSD upgrade for Satellite Pro P200 (PSPB7A-01000J) - possible?

  Hello world

  I had a Satellite Pro P200 for 3 years and more. It came with Vista Business pre-installed, but I have successfully installed Windows 7 a few months ago.

  A few months ago, I replaced the C drive in my office with a Solid State Drive and now he sings - program start and loading of the system is much faster than before.

  Now I'm wondering if the SSD upgrade even could be done to my trusty P200 and if yes, what brand/model of SSD could be better. It should be 128 GB or 256 GB maybe.

  Anyone else been in this way? The results? Pitfalls?

  All responses appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Greg.

  Hello

  I think that it should be possible.
  You must use a SATA SSD drive since the laptop supports the SATA controller.
  To be honest, I never tried to upgrade the laptop with a SSD but SSD is not very different from the HARD drive and normally should not be a problem.
  In some cases, an update of the firmware of SSD may be necessary but usually these firmware updates should be available on the SSD drive manufacturer support page.

• Portege R600 - issue of SSD upgrade

  I have a R600 10 q and I am interested to put an SSD in to replace aging / slow HDD have had a look at what others have said and there seems to be some compatibility issues.

  We know if these have been fixed with the new BIOS updates? or is there a list of compatible drives?
  Have a been a success with a particular model?

  Thanks for the help
  Tim

  I agree with Akuma.
  The use of SSD drive should not be a big problem.
  If something does not work, try to update the firmware of SSD drive for the last s.
  In most cases, this action has resolved most of the problems

  Since the Portege R600 supports a SATA controller, the SSD drive should support the same standard of controller.

  Good luck and thanks for sharing your experience after upgrading the SSD drive

• Ugggh.  I have a 27-inch iMac late 2011 and the hard drive was updated with a new SSD.  The integrated cd/dvd had to be taken out.  I then bought a thought of superdrive, it should work.  It's frozen on my iMac!

  Ugggh.  I have a 27-inch iMac late 2011 and the hard drive was updated with a new SSD.  The integrated cd/dvd had to be taken out.  I then bought a thought of superdrive, it should work.  It's frozen on my iMac!  Gee, who could have possibly guessed that would happen?  I tried all kinds of silly workarounds, I found on the internet, but still it will not register the stack of DVDs and other discs I have.

  If you're like me and upgraded your iMac that came with a cd/dvd drive internal... so he has to come out to give way to the fusion or the SSD drive, do NOT buy the apple superdrive.  It will work with your computer!

  Think I'll get a laptop samsung...

  Ironic, isn't it? Own Apple SuperDrive will not work with Apple computers. Shame you don't check here first that we would have warned you. Return Apple overpriced and buy a nice third-party player for a third of the price. I love the LG units. You can consider a loading plate because they are more reliable, and you can use these pesky disc when you get one.

• SSD upgrade/migrate inside 23 tilt of HP Envy TouchSmart?

  (model: 23-k001hk all-in-One)

  Hello all - asking for suggestions advice from wise and kind people on the best way - and operating instructions - for upgrading the speed of my current hdisk 1 TB + SSD 16 GB cache scheme of HP storage by one of these itineraries:

  1) upgrade the disk installed cache 16 GB SSD mSATA disk (limit Intel RST) 64 GB mSATA

  Why: I update regularly a slap (10-15GB) of data from the Agency.

  so given that the daily volume of modified files is comparable to 16 GB,

  I'm assuming that a larger cache will actually add value

  (2) install an SSD 'broad' to serve the main startup disk by replacing

  the existing hdisk of 1 TB (I use a tiny fraction of it) with a 2.5 SSD "

  with a suitable support (and deleting or disabling the 16 GB SSD disk cache)

  Thanks in advance for any advice on this point, HP does not have any information on that, nor any obvious way to access or review the settings of the RST (firmware?) used in their SSDcache + hDisk arrangement (Yes, tried Ctrl-I, the boot, etc.-no joy).

  -Rob in Hong Kong

  Hi WAWood,

  A late thank you for your advice. Based on this feedback and having discovered just that software ExpressCache 'hidden' on my system quietly stopped working after the upgrade to Windows 10 (and HP support does not currently have updated software ExpressCache for Windows 10), I decided to install a large SSD drive and use it as a boot drive.

  In the this could help other all-in-One HP Envy owners tilt, here is a summary of the steps that worked with obvious disclaimers that even if it worked for me, it is not a 'universal' solution and also that if you mess with the hardware/software of your system, you are of course on your own, without guarantees or responsibility for this author) :

  (also, my apologies for the format - in a hurry)

  System:

  HP Envy tilt (23-k001h model) running Windows 10

  Basic purpose:

  Change the original storage configuration:

  Hdisk (boot drive) 1 TB + 16 GB mSATA SSD cache ("linked" to the hdisk via ExpressCache)

  TO:

  Hdisk (spare drive) 1 TB + new Samsung Evo 850 mSATA SSD 500 GB (as boot drive)

  Result

  Many, many "zippier" system: QuickStart, app launch, etc..

  Measures

  Disable ExpressCache

  (HP Envy models tilt seem to use this supplement Windows 3 rd-party, instead of Intel RST):

  In my case, as my recent visit to Windows 10 has taken care of this for me (haha), I don't have to do;  Otherwise, I guess we should stop the ExpressCache service, uninstall the software from ExpressCache and/or drivers, then reboot - suggest you only look it up in the forums, because I can't offer my own experience on this one.

  Clear/unloading as much unnecessary data from drive C: (1 TB hdisk) as possible.

  The goal would be to have used space on C: be greatly below your 500 GB (or other) new drive (in my case, I cut the used space on the C: 100 GB).

  Also a good idea to run the defrag Windows on C:, as may be useful (necessary?) for the reduction of this partition in the next step

  Disk management Windows allows you to shrink the Windows partition (mapped as C

  Goal: you want a net size of all partitions on hdisk (Windows + hidden/recovery/system partitions) to be a little less than the actual size of your new SSD (my "500 GB" SSD was actually more as 465 GB)

  Warning: disk management can claim "not enough space" to shrink Windows (C when it's clearly not partition so - in my case, the problem was due to my Windows partition is not the last partition on the disk before the unallocated space (if any) - obviously this disrupts the management of disks.)  If so, you need to move partitions using a 3rd party soft as AOMEI (free app - has worked well for me) all for the Windows partition is the last partition on the hdisk, with unallocated space located immediately after the Windows partition.

  Result: when the dust settles, the partitions allocated on your hdisk must have a net size which is comfortably at less than the actual capacity of your new SSD (in my case, the partitions was 440 GB on a capacity 465 GB SSD).

  Physics card mSATA SSD upgrade

  • Power PC, unplug from the mains and remove the rear plastic cover:
  • http://support.HP.com/in-en/document/c04100400
• Remove the metal shield covering the RAM:
  • http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c04007922 (only the first 3 steps)
• Remove the metal shield covering the motherboard:
  • Locate/remove the 3 screws holding it down.
  • Lift on board as possible shielding at the booth of PC;
• Locate the SSD of origin (see tiny map labeled as SanDisk or some of these) and remove 2 tiny screws to attach to the motherboard.
• While keeping you constantly connected to the Earth (strap, touch metal chassis, etc.):
  • gently remove original SSD and save it in some static container (if upgrade fails and you want to restore the system to the original state of the material)
  • Gently insert the new card in lateral connector mSATA SSD,
  • and to the motherboard with the same 2 live
• Replace the motherboard of armour, armour of RAM and plastic cover

Check the new SSD 'visible' to the BIOS:

At first startup, use ESC to enter the BIOS settings, then check that BIOS 'sees' the new SSD as the original hdisk

Clone all partitions on hdisk--> new SSD

Start & connect to Windows and use Macrium Reflect (free) to clone all the partitions on hdisk for the new SSD - see large portico advice to:

http://www.howtogeek.com/199068/how-to-upgrade-your-existing-hard-drive-in-under-an-hour/

Do not forget:

• Suggestion from the link above, you must first a Macrium recovery disk
• You can clone * all * the partitions on the SSD's original hdisk

Result: cloned partitions now visible on new SSD. may have little extra/no allocated space on SSD (can deal with that later)

In the BIOS change the boot to new SSD drive

Reboot PC, press ESC to enter the BIOS to change the boot order:

• make the first boot drive in SSD
• also suggest to disable booting from originals hdisk (night before you really start SSD)
• Save the BIOS settings and exit the BIOS

Make sure that you have started of SSD and clean the unwanted drive mappings

Start & log Windows

(the fact that you can reach this point means that you have passed the first test)

Use Windows Disk Manager to

* ensure that C: is mapped to your new SSD.

* make sure that you can still see original hdisk, too

* suggest remove you mappings of unnecessary letters drive

(with the exception of the C: drive!) for all other partitions on hdisk or SSD

Test through full reboot

As a further test, do a reboot of Windows to make sure there are no problems with the start-up of SSD; again, once in Windows, use disk management to check again once your C: drive is the partition on the new SSD

Optimizing Windows SSD

There are several Windows setting changes that you should do when your primary/boot disk is an SSD, either:

• If you have purchased a Samsung SSD, you can download/use their app "Samsung magician" to do so (see "Optimization of OS" section), or
• Google "Optimizing windows 10 ssd" to find any number of guides to achieve this, such as:
  • http://www.disk-partition.com/Windows-10/SSD-optimization-Windows-10-4348.html
• Note: one of the most important changes are those related to mode AHCI (ability to GARNISH)
• Note: some suggested parameters cannot be 100% essential, for example:
  • pagefile on SSD: some authors suggest no page on the DSS file, others say "keep" small'(?) "; most compelling advice I've seen are to retain the page file on the SSD, but let Windows manage the size; in all cases, should make sure that your system has * sufficient * RAM (8 GB and more) for your usage requirements.
  • 'leave free space' (aka overprovisioning): SSD experts suggest that current-technology SSDS, it is not necessary
  • "do not defrag": 10 Windows recognizes SSD and disable defrag automatically

All the problems?

Note that at this point, you still have your original hdisk with windows/data for a few days, so if this migration does not work, you can always go back by turning off the SSD and change the startup disk (in BIOS) originally hdisk

After a few days: some cleaning

When you are reasonably comfortable that your system is booting from SSD and Windows/apps work correctly, you can perform the following operations:

• Use Macrium Reflect (free) or similar to save a snapshot of your current partition SSD
• After the backup, delete old/unnecessary partitions on original hdisk. For some, drive management works; others may need to resort to using the command line program Admin "diskpart" (read the instructions carefully!) and use "Delete Partition Override" (be very sure that you have selected a partition on the * original hdisk * (IE, 'old'))
• Disk management allows you to create a new simple volume on hdisk original now empty, as a reader of alternative utility
• Regular backup of SSD Annex: SSDS, as with mechanical parts, will fail - it's only a matter of time. It 's going to happen. Thus, strongly suggest that you configure regular (daily) snapshots of your SSD partitions. Again, I use Macrium Reflect to do this with a full backup weekly + differential daily backups and save the images in the now empty original hdisk in the PC
• If your SSD has any sense space not allocated, you may want to expand the Windows partition on the SSD drive use disk management to make use of this space

• HP6730s - RAM + SSD upgrade

  Hello! Greetings.

  I have a laptop HP Compaq 6730 s and just found something on the specs on the chipset. According to the data sheet HP, my machine has a chipset of Intel GM45 and it says that it supports up to RAM SO-DIMM DDR2 800 Mhz modules.

  If you check the specifications of Web page intel GM45, it confirms DDR3 up to 1066 Mhz...

  My second question is about the SATA. I know it doesn't support SATA III transfer speeds, if I upgrade my HDD to a SDS, I have 3 Gb/s speed. You still think it should be the upgrade?

  Could you please confirm this information?

  Thanks in advance!

  Erik Braga

  SATA 3 gb/s SATA-II so.

  The GM45 chipset can be used when configuring a motherboard with support for DDR2 or DDR3. It was a early implementation GM45 so HP has chosen to use DDR2 at the time because it was what was available. If the motherboard does not support DDR3 and it's a moot point anyway because the memory can take DDR2, which is more expensive, that I understand.

  Your mention of an optical drive tells me you have a MBP non-retine.  PCI and PCIe SSDS are NOT compatible with your MBP.  You can install a card standard 2.5 "SSD in your MBP and still experience a significant increase in performance.  I suggest OWC SSD and Crucial.
