Excellent video, I really appreciate your insight and explanation. I purchased this computer from Costco a year or so ago and noticed the slow speed immediately. I then attributed it to the HD vs. SSD and thought I'd live with it and have done so. Am I totally pleased, no, but I have found out if I leave the laptop on 24/7 upgrades and whatever take place at times when I don't notice the slowing of the system, it works for me. That said your instructions are clear enough to provide me an option should I decide to bail out on the HD. Thanks for taking the time to provide the video.
one is and hdd the other is an ssd this laptop only suports 1 hdd but can have two ssd one. you can have two sata ssd and that same time.YOU CAN HAVE 1 m.2 SSD and 1 other 2.5in ssd or 1 2.5IN ssd AND A NVME M.2 SSD IF YOU WANT THE BEST SPEED. HOPE THIS HELP PLEAS SUB IF IT DOES.
It would be great cause I just installed Samsung 990 Pro 2TB SSD Nvme m.2 and when I clone it from my 1tb HDD it clones it all messed up. Shrinks the size but leaves no unallocated space. I moved all my file to an external HD cause I am thinking about wiping it all clean and starting from scratch @@mcscapsuletech
And I have watched almost every video out there on cloning drives and none hit what I need shown. Guess I need to just take it in to the professionals. @@mcscapsuletech
@@Golfexpertbelieveme some of the cloning drive softwares you got to get a good one only will clone the size of the original disc or cloning and whatever size that was it'll be so if you're cloning a one terabyte and you have a 4 TB new drive you will only have access to one TB of it when the cloning's done so when you look at your c drive on the new drive it'll still say one terabyte I mean you can split the drive up with partitions and then use that extra three terabyte that's not using but there is one cloning software I want to get I'll do video on it if I end up buying it it's just going to cost so many so but just wanted to put that out there for you
Hi, Merry christmas and New year, i have a similar laptop but dont include hdd or sdd at all but the laptop and the motherboard has the sata expansion slot but without flex so, what are the sata flex model? Greetings and sorry for the crappy english😅
wow just ONE wifi card Antenna cable? how many pins the SATA HDD cable has 8 or 10? i miss SDcard reader, anyone added one? (which board header and HP reader to use?
I have this same lap top from Costco. Slow as hell. I bought the same Samsung ssd. Partitioned and formatted it to ntfs. Downloaded the windows install wizard thing and created a bootable drive to install windows but my new ssd doesn’t show up when I try to install windows?
You might have to install the Intel drivers that stupid until does this on some laptops I haven't done this one in a while so I have to remember back but Intel for some stupid reason you have to write a file there's one online how to do it and you have to add it in the USB stick with the windows install and then when you are installing when you looking for your drives you might have to install the drivers you can add by drives or add more and then your drives will show up it's stupid I don't know why until does this
So look online and type in a TH-cam video I should probably make one myself but you'll want to look for Intel drivers when installing Windows to see hard drives
I noticed you got a CMOS 502 error, I got the same error after replacing my hard drive. Also noticing now the battery is not charging. Were you able to clear that error?
The hard drive in this computer was just taking way too freaking long to do the copy over and so I had to just do a fresh install right to the NVMe drive and after that I updated the BIOS
It could be a bad drive if it's not able to recognize it or it's not correctly inserted in the m.2 slot remember if you're using it for extra storage and still have the hard drive in there you have to right click if you're on Windows 11 and select more options then select manage then disk drive and then you should see the disk drive there right click it click format into NTFS and then pick a letter for the drive and then you should be good in the drive should show up but for the bios not to pick it up that sounds like it's not inserted correctly or it's bad drive
wanting to boot up to it. used tge samsung migration software. do i gave to take the old drive out. i thought i could just assign to boot to ssd. @@mcscapsuletech
Great Video, the reason i checked and subscribed because is a detailed video of opening up. Now my issue is non of the above. it does have a SSD drive, just wanted to see if there's a reset button on the Motherboard. My computer charges sometime and blinks 3 time when plugged in and power button is pressed. I tried disableing in the device manager from other videos the batter plug device. It did charge once and that was it. Funny how this is my 2nd HP lattop and seems to die a year and month after both purchases. i think I'll buy a different OS next time like i used to. my Mac book Pro from 12 years ago still runs flawlessly.
Installed an SSD and Windows 11. Start times went from a few minutes to 8 seconds. The windows installer didn't recognize the SSD at first and I had to install Intel RST drivers from Intel's website. The drivers from HP did not solve this problem.
Yeah that's always annoying how they have that that Intel it's not with AMD Intel it only certain Intel certain it tells you won't have that problem it just depends it's annoying

Nice video although, it would have been nice to see the laptop powered up and working to confirm the install.

Hello. May I ask one thing, what size screws are used on the laptop body? Because my laptop is missing some screws.
@@HilmanXSetiawan to be honest I don't know anymore cuz I don't own that laptop that was a a customer that I was doing
Why doesnt anyone walk through the changing of ssd after putting in the new one?
Because the video you need to look for is installing Windows or copying drive to new drive I'll have to maybe do a video on it

You can buy them from Amazon Newegg and b&h
If you have a Best buy you can get them there too
