Perfect tutorial. I was considering just throwing my 8460p in the bin, but after watching this video, I'm going to invest a few $$ and see if I can breath some new life back into my workhorse. She's a little sluggish after installing Windows 10, but a few new parts might be worth it. Thank you.!!
Great video, and I've had one of these for over 4 years, and love this laptop... I'm going to upgrade the ram to max it out at 16GB I didn't think it would go out that much. That's awesome...
Till this day I am still using this device, it works fine. I also install a custom os (Ghostspectre Windows 11) to it. Much faster and feels like a modern laptop.
Great instructional video! I just swapped from Win7 to Win10Pro, put in an SSD and upgraded to 8 GB RAM - great machine now! BTW installing Win10 on a new partition was easy and straight trough!
can u also show how to connect 2 monitors with 8460p? 2 separate monitors and extended display on all 3 screens...? i have tried a lot of thing but I am able to obtain display on 1 monitors so far, as per the manual (also read in some blog post) that up to 4 monitors can be attached to 8460p but nobody seems to know how.... can u like make an extended video.... thanks in advance
Really clear and useful video, I want to ask about a message appears when booting this laptop " Bios-Application-Error-501" after that I click enter and it boots normally. This message is annoying every time when booting or restarting, any solution about it, I'd be grateful.
Great video, clear and concise! I inherited one of these about three months ago, I only upgraded the memory to 16GB, though s bit weighty, it's a very useful laptop. My battery only lasts about an hour and a half, I think that's half the original life, so I will look to buy a new battery. I'm thinking of buying another one of these laptops for my kid, what do you think a fair price for one of these laptops would be? Also, do you know what the bluetooth us used for...should I be able to connect bluetooth head phones or speakers to the laptop? I've tried, the LT finds the devices, and connects but they don't work?
Hi, fair price would depend on where you are and which specification you were looking for. The Bluetooth can be used for Bluetooth accessories like headsets, mice and keyboards
How can I use this hard drive on my desktop? My graphic card recently died on my HP 8460p laptop and I want to salvage some data from the hard drive if I can.
I cannot for the life of me get mine to boot from thumb drive to install the operating system. I am pressing F9 to access boot menu, but it brings me to the Diagnostics and when I press F10, that too brings me to the diagnostics.
Dear Sir, thank you for guideline. Very nicely you have explained. Kindly provide me detailed information for HDD can I upgrade to 1 TB??? Which one is the best? Thanks again
i tried that i installed the original ssd back in the laptop but still nothing the power light came on but the charging light came on and turned off and other lights are blinking
Thank you for this informative video. Clean, clear and precise. I upgraded the 16gb ram awhile back (8 months ago), and thanks to your video it worked well. and now doing the HD to ssd. Do you know the max size of HD acceptable by this HP? I ordered the the Crucial 500MX which is 500GB
In theory it should support larger drives, but I'd question spending that much on an older laptop when that money could be used to buy a better performing machine
Thank you for this video. I am powering up my laptop after just replacing the ram. Question: does it matter if it's 1333 or 1866? I got 1333 (power?) And what do you recommend as far as upgrading the HD to add?
Hi, the 1333 or 1866 number is the speed of the RAM, in a machine this old it's less likely to matter which you go with, though in theory faster is better. With the hard disk I have put some links in the video description to models I think are worthwhile
I need your help ya! My lap is EliteBook 8460p intel i7-2660M | 8GB , i saw in the HP website they saying can upgrade to 16GB. but i have checked with wmic command with cmd it saying max capacity is 8GB. I'am confused.. So what is the real max capacity to Upgrade rams?
Wow , that tutorial was clear as a sunny day ! So what brought me here !? , well i got one of those babies recently , it's a pretty fast machine compared to other laptops i had in the past and the only problem i am facing right now is that after some time playing games with it , it seems to be full or something , get's really laggy and sometimes i might start playing a game till one day suddenly it just doesn't want to run it anymore . So my question is : Could that be a RAM issue or Hard drive issue ??? Should i upgrade both ??? Thanks in advance !!!!
These are old laptops, it could be a number of issues. I wouldn't recommend running one of these as your main PC in 2021 unless you have a good system to ensure your files are backed up properly.
@@TechMadeEasyUK i figured that they are old by now but unfortunately right now i am not in the best financial situation with the economic crisis and covid 19... Finding a new laptop is not exactly in the menu right now, but just to give you an example, all it took was a sticker with i7 processor on it to make me buy it... 😂
First double check that it has Bluetooth installed, check that the aerial leads are connected. Check in device manager that the card is recognised and that appropriate drivers are installed
Great tutoial! Seems almost too easy. Will a new harddrive work right away, or is that part going to be an isue? I mean somthing´s got to be a problem?:)
You'll need to reinstall your operating system on the new disk, so make sure you have backups of all your files and applications before swapping out the drive
Great video. I have one of these laptops and would like to upgrade the Hdd to an SSD. Don’t have the confidence to do it myself though. At least I now know it can be upgraded. Thanks.
Reuben Davison glad to be of help. It really is very easy once you get over the fear of it all. I have a couple of these machines so will be doing a few more videos using them in the coming months, feel free to subscribe!
I just got one of these from work. It was in the lost and found for a year. I've refurbished it with these upgrades, but what I want to know is what is the best cpu I can upgrade to?
It would be unusual to be able to replace a cpu in a laptop, they are generally soldered on. Unfortunately I don't have one of these to hand anymore to check.
There would be issues around how you would mount the board within a case and how you would separate some of the ports, etc so they were usable. Buy I suppose its possible in the same way that you could wash a car with a fish; the question would be why would you
Question I upgraded to the 16 GB Ram, when I opened to start the replacement I've found that only one channel was in used for the 4 GB Ram that it had, anyways after installing the two 8GB each Ram I noticed that when I leave just one 8GB in one channel the computer boot up or re-start faster than when I Leave the two 8GB, 16GB total installed why is that?
Dont know if you respond to them anymore, looked around, but my hard drive wont go in. There is a tiny piece that blocks in and it almost acts like its slanted
@@TechMadeEasyUK Not trying to be one of those people, but I did find to get it in. I had to put the hardrive in the casing before I put the casing on the whole computer. Thank you for tur offer however!
instructions so clear my hands just subscribed instantly...........such a great video dude......awesome.

An ssd will certainly improve windows 10 performance
Loved how thorough and well explained the video was. Solidified my choice to buy used for $75
Thanks!
Great video, exactly 1 year on from being published, will now upgrade the 320GB HDD to a SSD and may even up the 6GB RAM too while I'm at it.

Nice video, one question though, what is the maximum SSD that the laptop can handle with the OS?
Excellent review, very helpfful indeed. Thanks!
You don't need the red grub screw.
There is a special place on the inside of the bottom cover for to park the red grub screw when you're not using it.
Good tip, thanks!
Beautifully done video. Right to the point. Thanks.

@@TechMadeEasyUK it's OK my dear, thanks for your kind reply
Thank you. Is there a way of making a memory test, so it validates the new memory or excludes some bytes if they doesn't work?
Do you have the exact model of RAM memory you have? Or any link to buy.

Hi, I'm a big advocate of Samsung SSDs, I use this one in one of my PCs and it should work fine in this laptop: amzn.to/2QgeL5f
Great video i replaced the ssd now it won't turn on the only live it has is the power light turns on and off and other lights are blinking
If you rake the SSD out and replace the original does it turn on?

Thank 😊 U for the tutorial o replacing ram.,PeaceLove&GodBless

It would be unusual to be able to replace a cpu in a laptop, they are generally soldered on. Unfortunately I don't have one of these to hand anymore to check.
i just found a black cable and i don't know what does the black cable do and i don't know where does it go i can't find the connector
Where is the black cable? There are lots of cables inside this model of laptop
Old video I know but what screwdriver set are you using? What are the mm sizes?
Honestly I just grab the nearest one that fits most of the time!
Thanks for your great video ! Would you change the processor too or will it make a big difference alone upgrading for 16GB RAM ?
You could only change the processor within the same generation (2nd Gen Core) so it's unlikely to make a massive performance difference.
Did you changed your 4GB to 16GB ?
I upgraded mine to 8gb
Amazing video
Could I theoretically remove the components and put them into a desktop case?
There would be issues around how you would mount the board within a case and how you would separate some of the ports, etc so they were usable. Buy I suppose its possible in the same way that you could wash a car with a fish; the question would be why would you
Is there any msata slot in this laptop?
Great video. Thank you
You're welcome!
Thank you Brother!
No worries

Does it have anymore ram slots under the keyboard?
No, just the two shown here

can i use 1600 Mhz ram 0f 8gb for 8460p
Hi, are those ram 1.5v or 3v ?
Mine doesn't have a metal caddy do you have any idea for replacements
You could always try ebay, it's likely a previous owner threw it out when they removed the disk
Thank-you
ماشاءاللہ بہت خوب
Thanks Buddy
No problem 👍
Where are the camera and mic located?
Sorry I no longer have the unit to check for you
