Upgrade SSD T420 and win 10

My 300 GB hard disk has insufficient free space to allow me to take advantage of the free upgrade to Windows 7 pro for Windows 10. I bought a SanDisk 480 GB sad and plan to clone HDD in it. However, that will allow me to do the next update of Windows 10 next?

Hi Chris,

If you clone literally the system it will be exactly the same.

If you get the upgrade of Windows 10 using the 300 GB HARD disk and clone, same popup appears on the 480 GB SSD.

If sysprep you HARD drive before cloning it must also propose this pop-up. In addition, if you install windows 7 on the new SSD the pop-up must always appear (I don't know the exact date, but I guess that MS will stop this offer sooner or later).

Best regards, Max.

    The best you can do is to contact Samsung and request recovery media to restore your system to its factory default state.

    Call Samsung to get a recovery disc - to find a phone number for your location:

  • Qosmio X 500-10T: what setting should I change after upgrade SSD?

    Hello community,

    I'll upgrade my Qosmio X 500-10T (currently with two 512 GB drive HARD, although only has data on it) with a Samsung 840 series 256 GB 2.5 in SATA SSD Pro and then perform a new installation of Windows 8.

    My question: what settings should I change once the switching plate?

    I think there may be some settings in the BIOS that may need to be changed.

    Also, it is recommended to remove the second HDD due to possible performance issues along the SSD?

    Are the drivers on the windows-compatible laptop computer support page 8?

    P.S. I read on UEFI, is there a way to update/upgrade existing in UEFI BIOS?

    I know it's a lot of questions, but any help is appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello

    > My question: what settings should I change once the switching plate?
    > I think there may be some settings in the BIOS that may need to be changed.

    Usually, you do not need to change anything in the BIOS.

    > Also, it is recommended to remove the second HDD due to possible performance issues along the SSD?

    You may notice poor performance while moving or copying data from the SSD hard drive or SSD HARD drive.
    but to think that you can keep the HARD drive in the 2nd Bay for other files.

    > Are the drivers on the windows-compatible laptop computer support page 8?
    Do you think that some drivers Win 8 there?
    If so, they are...
    otherwise, you can try some Win 7 drivers in the frame to win 8

    > . I read on UEFI, is there a way to update/upgrade existing in UEFI BIOS?
    If you're going to see an update of the BIOS for the Qosmio X 500 with a serial number 6. XX or later version, then it would be a version of BIOS released to win 8 too

  • Modification/upgrade SSD in HPE Phoenix h9 - 1120-t.

    I was think to upgrade my SSD (which is a 160 GB Intel 320 series running at 3/Gbs.  He me really befuddles as to why HP would use slower 3/GB SSD in their premium platforms.  In addition, I need more space.

    But anyway the problem is the following:

    My OS is on the disk, so a few other programs and games (Microsoft office [full version], BF3, etc.).  Since it's an OEM system, the way I understand well - is that the OS is an OEM version and is "linked" to the mobo - so I can't just change the SSD on and use my re system restore disk - install Win 7 on a new SSD.  It won't work.

    My question is can I get a key of activation Windows from HP or Microsoft that will allow me to win $100 for the purchase of a new copy of Windows 7 (and I don't want to win 8).

    This is the SSD, I am considering:

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16820147189

    I intend now and wiping the Intel SSD 320 and use it as a third hard drive.

    Or, if I can clone data the old on the new SSD SSD-"trick" the system that I have not changed anything.  I know that there are utility programs there cloning.  I hate having to buy a new copy of Windows 7 on top of everything else.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    There should not be a problem with the help of the HP recovery discs to recharge the system on your new SSD.  However, you will need to reinstall your programs, and copy your data across.

    1. Unplug the current SSD and the new SSD of cables in this SATA port.
    2. Use the HP recovery discs and rebuild your system.
    3. Reinstall your programs.
    4. If all is good then rewired the old SSD and copy your data across.

    I can't talk to you much the upgrade of Windows 10 on this model of laptop because Win 10 is not released now... it takes a few days before the official release of Windows 10...

    First of all, I have win7 on this device, so I bought a Microsoft windows 8 pro for her.
    When I upgraded, it went well for a few months and then it started to plant on its own.

    I tried so much to rebuild the PC using the Toshiba software without result.
    In the end, I deleted all partitions and rebuilt with win8.
    I've upgraded to win8.1 happens only at first sceen and turn it back on, even through there nothing installed.

    When I re-made three times and finally I gave up and now at least it works with win8 just want

    I went to several websites to find answer and he's talking about a method to turn the feature back on, but when I do it, it can't find the necessary files.

    Now I would like to restart from scratch... where can I download the original software of tosh in a pack?

    On this page you will find details on the 8.1 Win

    In the case of the caught Win isn t 8.1 supported on this laptop, Toshiba tools and utilities will not properly operate under this system.

  • Qosmio X 870-problems after upgrade SSD

    Hey guys,.

    I try to adapt an SSD at the moment and a bit of trouble. I used the software cloning provided to copy my data and OS anywhere on the SSD, which seems to have worked very well. I adjusted the boot sequence in the BIOS to get the SSD started first. However, I get a screen flickering and delay of loading, it is as if Windows does not work properly.

    I tried taking the HARD drive completely and simply using SSD - it takes Windows to the login screen, allows me to connect but then goes to a completely black screen and I see no office or anything. I can bring up the Task Manager, but that's all... I guess it's a problem with the process of cloning may be?

    The SSD is recognized by my laptop fine and is read/write correctly.

    Now, I want to try a completely new installation of windows on the SSD drive and format my HARD drive in the hope that this will solve the problems. My problem is that I have a preloaded 8 victory on my HARD drive and I have no idea how to do a clean install of it on the SSD - is it possible?

    Each google search on it seems to just suggest readers cloning - I'm confused!

    I use a Qosmio X 870 with Win 8.1

    > I guess it's a problem with the process of cloning, perhaps?
    On this virtual path, it is not easy to confirm.
    In my opinion, you should test the SSD feature in general. Install the original recovery image on SSD and check how it works.

    I improved my Satellite P500 with SSD and installed original recovery image. Everything works perfectly. I'm pretty sure that your Qosmio will be works well with the original version of the OS.

    Can you please test and post comments?

  • HP 7 (5701ng) steam: questions and win 10 flow 7

    Dear HP Windows 10 gurus,

    I upgrade my HP Jet 7 (5701ng) Tablet to Windows 10 twice now, but I'm having a few problems that I hope experts can help with.

    1. The F11 on Start method of the BIOS to perform a factory reset is not available more after the upgrade to Windows 10. It is really important that Stream 7 users have the ability to easily perform a reset factory must take place 'the worst'. I recently had time to big problems after installing a 3rd party on my 7 Stream antivirus product and although I could have run his own routine through Windows uninstal, I would have liked an option with restore instead, as it can then be no doubt on bits left out etc.. What HP wil do about it?
    2. My tablet is (depending on your suport tech Department) intended for the German market. When I bought here in the Ukas a factory Refurb, the device came with a Euro to UK adapter attached to the charger Euro area - an acceptable solution. I recently got the support of HP recovery on USB by HP and the tech support person said it's a tablet of the German market, the content of USB support will be for the German product, but will have an option of English language. Indeed this is the case, but even if I chose English as the language at the beginning of the restore process, there are still many places where German dialog was displayed and I don't want that. In view of my camera has been renovated plant for sale on the British market, is there a chance the English British recovery menia will work instead?
    3. As a result of the foregoing, it is very painful to have to restore Win 8.1 update, before upgrading Windows 10 - and of course the free upgrade is only enjoy unti 1 year after Win 10 is out There will be recovery of 10 Windows media to Stream 7 available and there will be a way I can replace the memory stick cntents with it when it becomes available (to win on the detachment of the memory sticks etc.).
    4. The 7 flow does not come with the GPS, but I would use Microsoft on Windows 10 cards. What is the recommended HPs Connect USB Dongle GPS to add this feature to the jet 7. I would have bought a refurb flow 8 but theyjust don't seem to be available here in the United Kingdom (at least not at similar/only slightly more expensive prices for what I paid for my Stream7).
    5. I often have problems to get the battery percentage to get just by tapping the icon in the system tray battery - maybe it's a problem of Windows 10. Can he be looked at and resolved please.
    6. I would like to be able to load the stream 7 at the same time as use an accessory USB however a ' on the go ' cable (OTG). Is there a way that this can be done for HP to know?  I saw claiming for OTG cables feed as well, but such a device would work with the 7 flow? The reason why I want it is because the battery runs out very quickly under certain circumstances.
    7. The version of Windows Media Player on my Stream 7 will maximize not out to a full window (by clicking the button maximizes next to close Red Cross has no effect). In addition it will let me play my MP3 files or my WTV files I had previously recorded on my PC Windows 7 Home Premium Desktop - even if Windows 7 PC version of Windows Media Player should allow the reading of WTV files. I realize that Windows Media Center is not included in Windows 10 but it is important that Windows Media Player which is fully functioning and these two problems are a real problem for me. "The power within HP" talk please with Microsoft for a solution on this one. I realize that Windows Media Player not copng with WTV files can be associated with the absence of Windows Media Center, but I don't see why the relevant CODECs can be installed in Windows Media Player for this feature to work. Any help in doing this would be much appreciated.

    That's all I can think of for now. It's time for my sleep of beauty here in England but I'll check here once again in the morning ;-)

    This morning, I received the hub surrounded by bubblewrap in a blink of an eye bag and I tested it out (actually I am writing this reply using my Microsoft Wireless Desktop 3000 keyboard and mouse with the USB dongle connected by the hub as well as the original HP charger and lead).

    After my a few hours of testing today I can say deep I think we have a cheap and effective and compatible with this product solution!
    With respect to the other items on my list, I'm little bit to find solutions to those as well (although I was not happy to have to install a 3rd party product called GPSDirect in order to get my Bluetooth GPS receiver works with Windows 10 cards). I am convinced that this should be responsible for setting as they were responsible for 'break' this compatibility in OS latest due to the location/sensor API revised Microsofts.
    Once I get my new memory stick I will try the new installation of the OS from scratch using an ISO and pilots provided good HP that this will create not a Windows 10 sharing recovery that can be activated at the start with F11 (at least I don't think it will be), as well as from my factory equipped HP USB Windows 8.1 media restoration Bing standby if the disaster occurs I think that this should be a satisfactory solution to this problem. Overall, things are much better, and this forum has been a great help!

  • MacBook Pro 2012 sporadically slowdown since the upgrade: SSD ALL SSAY!

    Hello

    I recently updated from a Samsung 850 Evo 256 GB SSD to the 1 TB version. Everything worked perfectly on El Capitan before the upgrade.

    Since then, my Macbook (15-inch, mid-2012, 9.1) is very reliable. It has constantly been extremely hot, that fans speed up at bottom, unless they are overridden by third-party applications (fan SSD command), and even simple things like streaming video may cause the thing to grind to a halt. The battery life is also significantly more bad for exchanging the two SSDS.

    1. almost directly after installation of the SSD using my Time Machine (from the 256 GB SSD), underside of the Macbook backup was extremely hot to the touch and the fans were at full blast all the time. I have reset the SMC and downloaded SSD fan control to override the fans. This seemed to help for a few days, but then...

    2. on the accusation, it slows to a halt, which makes the Macbook unusable. I can't understand why, because it is not as if a particular application is the cause on several occasions. I noticed that kernel_task consuming CPU during one of these "slowdowns", so I tried the fix involving passing the model identifier of IOPluginPlatformFamily.kext after you turn off the csrutil of the recovery partition. But my model identifier was not yet which are listed there, there is nothing to move.

    3. the SSD seems to work very well. Repeated with BlackMagic Disk Speed Test assessment tests show reading and writing almost 500 MB/s.

    3. I ran the Apple hardware test and he told me that he had "no problems found".

    4. I have checked inside the case for excessive dust and has no problem.

    I scoured the internet to find answers and tried every possible solution I found, everything to nothing does not. Any help would be greatly appreciated - I am considering looking for a new laptop if I can't understand what is the problem, as I can't work

    I partitioned the SSD drive immediately after the Time Machine backup - this could be the problem?

    Thank you very much for reading this and for all the advice!

    A number of users have had problems with the new Samsung SSD.  Note that Samsung omits Mac compatibility on their web site.  Whether or not this SSD is the problem is unknown at this time.  You might consider to replace it with the prior SSD and see if there is a change.

    First of all, I suggest that reset you the SMC and NVRAM:

    Application of fan control do you use?  The reason why I ask, is that all of these applications I know, allow to increase the speed of the fan, does not decrease the speed.  To do this involves an element of risk because the conditions may require the speed high ventilation and by the user, reducing can result in thermal shutdown.

  • HP Pavilion dv8000 upgrade to 8.1 Win

    The laptop is supposed to have a 64-bit processor.  I tried to upgrade to 8.0 Win to Win 8.1but I get the message that I can not upgrade because my processor is not able to upgrade because of something lacking in the CPU as NX or free SES.

    HP, somehow forgot to inform the owners or the customer of this defect.  In the hope of not having a problem, I lost my previous operating system, Windows XP Pro.  It's not even an audio driver for Win 8.0.  Very disappointed and considering the abandonment of HP.

    Once again, the age of this model and the installed hardware, Windows 8.1 is not compatible. Windows Vista 32-bit is supported by HP, as they provided drivers. Windows 7 32 bits may be compatible with the 32-bit Vista drivers at the address provided. Windows 7 64 bit, Windows 8 32-bit and 64-bit 8 may be partially compatible with the drivers provided natively and via Windows update.
