“HDD to SSD Is this computer upgradable to SSD after purchase?”

1-8 of 8 Answers

• According to the support forums at HP, you can upgrade to an SSD and replace the existing hard drive. You do need to keep the original drive available in case you need to send the laptop to HP for service under warranty.

• Yes, the HDD can easily be replaced with an SSD. I replaced with the Samsung EVO 850 1TB SSD. Here are detailed instructions on how to swap the drive. They worked perfectly for me: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/Upgrading-Envy-M7-n109dx-To-an-SSD/td-p/5394441 If you follow these instructions EXACTLY, the entire process should take no time at all, with no problems. However, remember that you will be doing this on a Windows 10 environment, so be sure to download the latest Data Migration software from Samsung, and also the latest version of Samsung Magician.

• Yes, and it's not very hard to do either. Use Google to find directions and video, complete job takes about 30 minutes or less, not counting installing OS and software. The changeover to SSD makes a huge, positive difference in speed. Boots faster (mine takes about 20-30 seconds, software, apps, internet all open and run faster. Nice upgrade for $100 or even less.

• Yes, but you will need to purchase a separate drive caddy and cable to install it in the second bay, as the caddy in use in the first bay will not fit in the second.

• YES YOU MAY HAVE IT UPGRADED BY THE GEEK SQUAD AND READY FOR BLAST OFF. JUST TSKEIT TO THE SERVICE DESK FOR COMPUTER REPAIRS AT BEST BUY AND THEY WILL HANDLE ALL YOUR NEEDS THERE.

• You CAN have the geek squad do the switchout/upgrade for you, but it will be $200.00 to do so. That's not including the cost of the SSD; just for the service. Whew!
