Upgrade SSD for Pavilion 15-n097 (F4T60EA #ABU)

I have a newly purchased 15-n097 Pavilion and an M500 Crucial 480 GB SSD, I would like to install.

Can someone direct me to the proper maintenance and manual advice on any bios updates that may be required please?

I understand that the HARD drive on this machine is a bit of a pig to get to but as long as I have clone HARD drive (I have Acronis True Image) and are not reluctant to do open heart surgery on a new laptop (OB) then I'm good to go...?

Well, here is the Service Manual:

Manual

Page 65. Get the means of hard disk, remove the top cover. Yes use Acronis and disk clone with proportional resizing with an external SATA USB adapter then swap the SSD to the original hard disk, and you'll be good to go. You must not touch the BIOS or really to make changes to the operating system. Windows 8 is quite good at recognizing the SSD and established itself in order to optimize their. Don't resist it.

  • Upgrade SSD for Dell XPS 15 9550

    Hello

    I have Dell XPS 9550 with configuration 32 GB SSD + 500 GB HARD disk. I want to upgrade SSD for more space avaliablity.

    But I don't know what type of SSD, I'll need to buy. Also, I read XPS 15 to repair. There are two chapter for the removal and replacement of the SSD in the maintenance manual. First chapter of half-length SSD, second chapter SSD full length.

    What type of SSD is mounted in my laptop? Half or full length?

    How can I identify necessary SSD for me in stores (dimensions, label, etc.)?

    What interface for SSD do I need?  PCIE or SATA?

    What is the map? M2.2280 or PCI-E AIC (-expansion card)?

    Thanks in advance!

    These are all numbers of Dell and descriptions.

    The system uses a PCIe (or is if you want a faster player), 2280 m2 or small size.  UNLESS you buy directly from Dell, it is best NOT to buy versions OEM of SSD (Samsung end pieces in a '1' vs '0' for details).

    OEM spare parts are usually not compatible to end-users by the manufacturer.

    Because you will probably install the operating system for the new SSD, don't forget to make a recovery media set, you need to load the operating system on the larger capacity disk - what you have now is just a cache for the main hard drive.

  • Upgrade memory for Pavilion dv7

    In October, I bought a Pavilion dv7 (model dv7t-7000) with 16 GB of RAM.  Is it possible to upgrade to 32 GB?  I also want to add an SSD as a second drive.  Is this possible.

  • Beats Audio / IDT pilot for Pavilion DM1 4027sa / qj516ea #abu

    1. product name and number: Pavilion DM1 4027sa / qj516ea #abu

    2 operating system: Windows 7 64-bit (own generation, no HP Recovery)

    error 3 message: N/A

    4 all changes made to your system until the problem occurred: cleaning of Windows 7 DVD (commercial version)

    I recently did a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit on my laptop from DVD true retail because the resumption of HP I is 32-bit and so cannot use all the memory in the machine.

    I managed to find the most important software and drivers but miss me the beat / Audio driver. It does not appear on the page of download driver laptop (with another software, but that's probably another story).

    I found and installed HP Support Assistant, and who concluded that the Beats Audio was missing and that would have been installed (unless she didn't and he didn't tell me). However, he seems to still be there - there is no Beats Audio icon in the system tray and it is not something that you can uninstall in Control Panel. I also installed HP on-screen Display as it seems to be necessary, but it does not seem to have brought Beats Audio to life.

    Lack of pilots of Beats Audio seems to be a common theme on this forum, but unfortunately none of the opinions of existing positions worked for me. I suspect it is maybe because none of them focused specifically on my laptop model.

    Can someone point me to the Beats Audio / IDT download for my PC model or suggestions for other ways to get installed it. Note that I have no HP Recovery Manager installed because I can't find that download is...

    @JamesDM1

    Hi again,

    You can consult this topic, looks like I found the correct driver for your model in another thread.

  • Upgrade SSD for a Tecra R840-16J

    Hello world

    This is my first post here!
    I am Portuguese and I bought a R840-16J two months ago. I chose this model because it had all the specs I wanted (I run Toshiba laptops since 1997... and my first still works!) except one: he had not an SSD. Given that I could not custom make my laptop that I bought it with a 500 GB HDD at 7200 RPM,.
    The upgrade only I could do (and I did) was to install an extra 4 GB RAM module.

    I would like to install an SSD now (with the same capacity,...).

    My questions:

    1. don't recommend me a special brand/model?
    2 - What are the steps that I need to have a correct installation?
    3. I installed a lot of sw that I need (office, PS and many astronomy specific sw I use). Do I have to re - install all these or is it a solution to 'clone' my HARD drive SSD?

    Any advice will be greatly appreciated :-).

    Kind regards
    Paulo

    > 1-do you recommend me a special brand/model?

    I would not recommend a specific model or manufacturer, I think that it s always a question of value for money. I recommend you get some reading and assessment tests some SSD drive test on tech Web sites.
    You can choose the best SSD drive for you I mean it didn't need to be the best and expensive

    > 2 - what steps I have to do a correct installation?

    It is the same procedure as the HARD drive upgrade.
    Check this nice HowTo from Toshiba:
    Tecra R840 & Satellite R840 HARD drive replacement procedure
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/CRU19037K0000R01.htm

    > 3 - I installed a lot of sw that I need (office, PS and many astronomy specific sw I use). Do I have to re - install all these or is it a solution to 'clone' my HARD drive SSD?

    You can install everything again on new SSD drive or you will create an image:
    You can use an option included in Windows 7:
    Click Start at the start and then select back up your files.
    Then click on create a system image hyperlink.
    Now you can choose where you want to save the image. You can choose an external HARD disk, burn it on several DVD s, or store it on a network location.
    When you want to restore the image, you will be able to use the System Recovery Options to recover the system. For a recovery of the system option, you must start the Win 7 F8 press should choose fix my computer. You will find in this window option called: system image recovery

    Can I upgrade my laptop with SSD? It is a hybrid (HARD + SSD drive) or I have to replace my HDD with my SSD?

    Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    According to the specifications, you have a regular hard drive 1 TB 5400 RPM.

    See p. 38. Your laptop has been offered with drives and hybrid drives (SSHD) but you can install a 2.5-inch SATA SSD instead of hard drive. It is technically only to be done by an authorized technician, but for the more adventurous, it is not really hard to do it yourself.

  • Upgrade SSD for Macbook Pro?

    I have a Macbook Pro (early 2011) and I would like my mac by installing a SSD 15'. He got a 2 GHz Intel Core i7 processor. My laptop started to slow down a lot and it lags when I use photoshop or when I'm editing videos, so I thought I should spend my hard drive for an SSD. But I don't really know what SSD to buy it. My friend recommended the Kingston SSD UV400, but I read that some people have complications after installing the SSD on their Macs. I really don't know much about these things, I'm looking for insight. Someone at - it recommendations for SSDS, I should get? I'm looking at a minimum of 480 GB for storage and, ideally, something lasting!

    Thank you very much!

    Currently, the best options are the OCZ ARC-100 series, the 850 series of Samsung (good price on Amazon) and 6G OWCseries. OWC also has tool boxes if you need it and installation tutorials. If you want to keep the HARD drive then you buy one of their media DataDoubler to put the old HDD in the space occupied by the optical drive. It can even include an enclosure for the optical drive.

    How to use an SSD with your HARD drive

    If you want to use an SSD as boot with your existing HARD disk drive, as the disk 'data', here is what you can do.

    After installing the SSD, you need to partition and format the SSD using disc utility disc. Then install OS X on the SSD. Once installed OSX boot from SSD. Startup disk preferences to set up the SSD as the boot volume.

    Open the preferences users and groups. Click the lock and authenticate you. Or CTRL - RIGHT click on your username account list in the sidebar and select Advanced Options in the context menu. You will see a field called "Home dir: ' on the far right, you will see an Edit button. Click on it. In the file dialog box, navigate to the location in house now located on the HARD disk (disk HARD/users/user_name /.) Select the folder, click the Open button. Restart the computer, as shown. When the computer starts, it will now use the home located on the HARD drive folder.

    Another more technical method involving the Terminal and the alias is discussed in depth here: using OS X with a SSD and HDD - Matt Gemmell configuration. It's my preferred approach because I can choose which records of the House, I want to on the HARD drive and I don't want to. For example, I like to keep Documents and library files on the SSD because I frequently access their content.

    Make sure that you keep the bootable system entirely on your HARD drive where you need it.

  • Upgrade SSD for Satellite Pro A120

    Hello
    I have a satellite pro A120, which feels a little tired. I did research SSD upgrades to replace the HARD drive, but I don't know if I can update or not. I would really appreciate any advice or information you can give me.

    Thank you

    Hello

    You can upgrade the laptop with an SSD. You need a disc SSD SATA 2.5 as the A120 supports the SATA controller.
    Not quite sure about the SSD size but I guess a 250 GB should be recognized correctly.

    The mSATA connector resembles the miniPCI connector, but they are totally different.
    So, your only solution is to replace the HARD drive with a 2.5 "SATA SSD.

  • Attach the SSD for Pavilion p6 2371ea desktop PC

    I replaced the HDD Seagate pre-installed with a Crucial SSD (Seagate be used elsewhere).

    I have attached the support provided by Crucial 2.5 SSD ", but was surprised to find there is no any size available spare disk Bay, unless I had to remove the DVD drive, I do not want to make.

    Does HP, or nobody knows, an adapter that attach the SSD to the HP chassis where was the old HDD?

    Basically HARD drive is just screwed to the Bay with no real disk mechanism metal frame at all.

    Thank you

    This is a gap in your Crucial 2.5 "to 3.5" support

    (what you have will not work without those who back of tapped holes).

    IF you are a DIY manufacturer, you could remove the SSD and drill / put on the missing holes of the support!

    Several 2.5 "to 3.5" media adapters have background discussions - for this type of vertical mounting.

    Your case used the background threads of 3.5 "hard drives - just need an adapter that reflects that.

    UK suppliers for a hook, you need to check with your local computer retail stores.

    I ordered mine from China (Hong Kong) and waited for 2 weeks.

    PHOTOS of the HP support are below - several suppliers on eBay,

    LOOK for the metric compared to its use of threading!

I currently have the original 6 GB of ram that came on the HP laptop, which includes a stick of 4 GB and 2 GB key.

    I want to spend the maximum amount of ram and the ram for maximum performance (speed). Analysis of Crucial.com says I have 6 GB of ram and the maximum ram is 8 GB. He also says that I can buy one (or two) 4 GB DDR3 PC3-12800. CL = 11.    NON ECC unbuffered.     DDR3-1600.   1.35v. here is the link for the crucial scan and recommendations:

    Issues related to the:

    The Crucial scan seems to direct me to the memory of better and faster that is listed in the Service Guide. My laptop took advantage of this Crucial memory to operate at faster speeds than the memory, I have now? What latency (CL) cases? I saw sticks to new Egg with CL = 9 instead of this Crucial CL = 11. CL is important? What I have to buy two Crucial 4 GB sticks or I can I keep my original 4 GB stick and add a Crucial 4 GB stick for my 8GB? Is Crucial memory memory low density -something I've read elsewhere that I need? FWIW, a diagnostic analysis of Norton said that my current memory is syncing to 1067 ns.

    I have also these two links below for key USB PNY to a Best Buy nearby. The first stick of memory PNY seems to correspond to the Crucial memory card. Is - this low density memory PNY memory? And yet once, can I buy a single stick of 4 GB and add to my current 4 GB stick? This 4 GB PNY stick below which seems to fit the profile of Crucial scan is what I would buy if he tell you it's compatible, because I can buy it at a Best Buy near and easily return it if it does not work:

    Hello.  I'll answer my own questions in the last post above.  Fortunately, HP expert Paul Tikanen resolved my questions in a thread with the following response.  Thank you, Mr. Tikkanen!

    "The faster the memory will run in your laptop is at 1066 Mhz, which is the speed of the FSB of the i5 - 450 M.

    processor.

    http://Ark.Intel.com/products/49022/Intel-Core-i5-450M-processor-3M-cache-2_40-GHz?q=%20i5-450M

    So, my recommendation would be for you to buy a module of memory 4 GB DDR3 PC3 - 10600 (1333 MHz).

    Thus, even the 1333 MHz chip will only work at 1066 MHz.

    I had a lot of success with this configuration of brand and the memory chip.

    Regardless of the brand you download, make sure he's 8 the little black chips of memory on each side of the Board, not 4.
