Thank you for sharing this video. I have the same model computer and was able to clone my hard drive to the new SSD, change out the drive and add 8GB of memory. Everything went great thanks to your video!!
Awesome video, very helpful! I just did one yesterday for a friend using this tut. 1) In case anyone has the Macrium "Incompatible Disk Selected" error, try a different USB port or try using a powered SATA cable, worked for me. 2) If you have the model number HP All-in-One 24-f0047c (unit base looks like two coathangers,) the screws are under the white rubber covers under the speakers. Loosen the 2 captive screws and remove the base. Pry off the small center plastic rectangular grill. Remove the 3 screws under that grill, and then you will be able to carefully pry off the front speaker grill. Remove 5 more screws which were under there (the manual I found only shows 4 screws but there was 1 more holding it back) and gently lift the touchscreen up like the hood of a car. You'll have to wiggle it a bit to get all the plastic tabs undone without pulling the video cable out. I couldn't get the drive holder to line up with a screw, so I had to hammer flat one of the die-cut indented screw tabs which held the old drive; then the SSD could align flush and I could get a screw in place to hold it.

Outstanding video. Thank you so much. I just upgraded my machine with more memory and SSD and it is day and night. I can't thank you enough. I was considering buying a new machine, but this brought this one back to life and saved a bunch of money in the process.
If it has an available place to add a drive you can do that, then clone to it. You'll need to remove the existing drive after the clone. You can erase it and put it back after you verify the clone to the new drive functions.
Just did mine. Perfect. Didn't have to remove prop leg. About 25 minutes total for clone and 10 minute install. Thank you! May do a ssd on my ole laptop too!
Thank you for sharing the video and info, as well as the people sharing their experiences upgrading their computers. I do have to say, when you were moving the computer around on that surface, flat on is face, it was giving me anxiety.
The heat generated from the SSD didn't boil off the glue from the velcro? I may use this strategy otherwise. I guess there's no way to tell unless you open up your computer again
Excellent tutorial! I am working on updating my AiO since I'm working remote now and wasn't feeling comfortable doing this with an AiO - great resource you've made here!

awesome video. i am trying to decide between upgrading my mother's old computer or buying her a new one and figured it couldn't hurt to try and upgrade it
Just changed out my hard drive using the same one in this video (I have the HP 23 q120 with 16GB RAM). First cloned old hard drive (had recently wiped it and reloaded everything, so it was problem-free) using Macrium Reflect 7. Hardest part was securing the smaller hard drive to the cage because I didn't have screws with a large enough head. Then I realized that I could simply used the same screw that held the original drive in the cage. Extremely easy process. Programs open up much more quickly now. Thanks so much, Michael, for this tutorial.
@@zyrusfaulmino4521 I went to crucial.com and typed in my computer's information and it told me what RAM to purchase. I think I might've ultimately purchased the RAM from amazon, but I'm not 100% sure.

Hi Micheal. I have the hp envy recline . I will upgrade ram and change to ssd as shown. One question , This model has the 16gb ssd card that works between the ram and hard drive to speed up common file recovery. Should I leave this in place or just remove it. If I remove it will it effect running. Regards from NZ
excellent video, I have a hp pavilion all in one 23q015la. By mistake they erased the recovery, I would like to reset the pc to factory version but in hp they have not yet uploaded the recovery discs. Could you guide me where I can get the recovery outside of hp. thanks
Do a Google search for download windows 10 and you'll find a link on Microsoft's website to download windows 10 and install it onto a USB Flash drive. You can use that to reload windows 10. You do not need to buy another licence for windows 10.
Nice tutorial. Thank you for that. I would recommend putting a soft towel down under the screen though... Would hate to have to pay to replace a scratched touch screen that large. Makes my skin crawl every time you rotate that screen against the desktop. I can hear the grit grinding on the screen.
I've since got a desk pad that has made people a lot more comfortable watching the newer videos. The table is torn up from years of use and it is so torn up because it is very soft. It never scratched anything I put on top of it. It took me a while to realize that just because I know it wasn't a problem it would still bother people to see because they would think it was a problem. So once I figured that out that it's not just my understanding that matters that I have to account for other peoples comfort I got the new desk pad.
i found an older HP AIO (600-1120) in someones trash a while back so i dragged it home - it was a heavy beast! I thought their might be some useful parts in it but when I plugged it in it booted up and worked. I was able to change the admin password so i could login and found it had a i3 processor and 4gb of ram. It probably belonged to a student because it has a 22" screen and a TV tuner built in, everything works fine and now i have to find someone who needs a computer and let them decide if they want to put in a SSD to speep it up.
The proper solution for installing a 2.5" drive to a 3.5" caddy, would be an adapter. They are fairly cheap to get and would have been a better solution than one screw. Other than that, very informative video, thanks!
@@MichaelTheComputerGuy while I can't speak for all adapters, there are adapters that would work. Here's a link to one such adapter. www.amazon.com/dp/B00AYJFXIQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_0QPQFb0W78952 I haven't tried a fixed adapter yet, but if for some reason a fixed adapter won't line up, and adjustable one will.
@@darkbarghest83 Yeah, Michael the Computer Guy is right because that adapter is having the SSD sit in the middle of the adapter and in the video, you see the SSD needed to sit against the one side of the holder.
Quick tip on determining if your hard drive is mechanical or Solid State - click in the search field to the right of the Start button and type "defrag" in the field and click "Open" under "Defragment and Optimize Drives". You won't actually defragment the drives, but it will show you if the drive(s) are solid state.
@@MichaelTheComputerGuy Correct. Don’t run a defrag, just open the Defrag app to see if its an SSD or not. I believe this only works in Windows 8.1 or higher.
I wouldn't recommend using a hard drive as your c drive. It would make the computer very much slower. If you need extra storage capacity in a computer like this I would recommend connecting a hard drive externally. With that said if you do need, for some reason, to put a 2.5" hard drive in the computer yes it would stay in place and be okay with this unusual mounting method. On the other hand why not just get a 3.5" hard drive so you can install it into the bracket normally?
Thanks for this video!! I have the same exact computer and it is super slow (slower than the one on this vid) i hope to do the same with the same results! Thanks!
Thanks, Michael. I plan to replace the failing 1TB HDD (w/ SATA interface, form factor 3.5) in my HP Pavilion all-in-one 23-q114 with a 512 GB SSD. What should be the specification of the SSD (form factor, size, location of the power and data connections, etc.) be to ensure good fit and compatibility with my computer? Because I will not be able to pre-install Windows on the SSD from the failing HDD, do you have a reference or a youtube video on how to install the operating system from a copy on a USB drive after installing the SSD? Thanks
The new, smaller SSD will be swimming in a huge bay of empty space, but you can use elec tape, velcro, or as Michael does in the video, an extra screw, to hold it firmly in place. Careful hot glue gun might even do it. Additionally, I think for 23q, it might help to see this video for how to open the case ruclips.net/video/k0Qlgdgg-xw/видео.html After that you can freshly install Windows from a USB stick: ruclips.net/video/5rSSrl_PlNw/видео.html
2.4ghz vs 5ghz is more about distance vs speed. 2.4ghz goes farther and is better at going through walls, 5ghz can be faster but doesn't go as far or through walls as well. Whether you're computer can access a 5ghz wifi network depends on the wifi adapter in the computer. You can add a new wifi adapter through a USB port on the computer, desktop or laptop. Search for USB wifi adapter and you'll find them for sale. If you want internal wifi adapter look for pci half mini or ngff adapters or pci e wifi adapters if you have a desktop with a free pci e slot. The pci half mini and ngff adapters can go in desktops and laptops with available pci half mini or ngff slots. As you can see it's complicated. USB wifi adapters are the easiest to install and just about all can do 2.4ghz and 5ghz. Then there's wifi 5 vs wifi 6 and they have alternate names. Yep complicated.
Are we not going to talk about how he used 2 different types of ram to upgrade? I've always thought that most likely wouldn't work. Is it different with sodimm ram?
Very well done video that was easy to follow. These All in One PC's are a pain in the rear to work on. I won't buy another used one. Thanks. AAAAA+++++
did you ever tried to add second harddrive by replacing the dvd rom to a 2.5 harddrive caddy on this pc? i tried and failed as the system won't recorgnize the new SSD. even if i upgrade the bios to the lastest version, it still won't work. i added second harddrive on dell and levono all in one pc before using the same method, and they all worked well.
The Adata SU-800 series is a good choice. It has Micron memory and DRAM as well. The lower models don't have DRAM. I find it rather silly that HP don't install a 2.5" mechanical HD. The 1TB to 2TB capacities cost about the same as the 3.5" versions nowadays. The computer would be a lot lighter from the get go and would have a smaller drive cage.
This is the only video I have for it. You can use this video is kind of a guide to opening it up but you'll need to go a little bit deeper for the CPU. Do a Google search for your computers full model number and the words CPU upgrade. You should find people talking about it if it's possible and which CPUs they got to work in that particular model computer. You can then take those model numbers of the CPUs and try and find one on eBay.
Did you ever find a better way to secure the SSD? I have an HP Envy 23 model c110xt that posed a similar dilemma. I had purchased a Crucial SSD and it was just too thin and narrow/small for the original, old-school frame there to secure the HDD. I just snapped the drive in place and replaced the frame with no screw, in the hopes that the internal vibrations will not shake the drive loose. Your thoughts? Should I go back in there and see if there is a different way to secure it? Thanks
Dear Sir, I have a HP Pavillian all in one 23Q-105na. It states its name is;DESKTOP-8TD4KD8. I wish to install a SAMSUNG SSD 870 EVO-500 gb. Can you see that i will have any problem doing this. It is a touch screen. I am elderly and wish to see the computer open etc quicker. I do not store very much information on it.Thank you in anticipation. Great tutorial.
Does this mean you can actually upgade any AiO ? Also graphics card ? Or is it still better to buy a desktop if you're planning to upgrade once in a while ?
You can't upgrade the GPU on a all-in-one computer. Doing it on the laptop is highly unlikely as well. As far as a regular desktop computer. ruclips.net/video/ZJY7vBWCBw0/видео.html It's an old video but still has good info. Also check out the power supply video in that same series.
Is there any way to tell what power supply cord and memory can be used if one is bad on HP23-o014 series? Also can this pc I mentioned above have a second hard drive inside? Thanks in advance!😀👍
Near where the power supply plugs into the back of the computer they'll be riding on it that tells you the size of the opening and the voltage and amperage of power cord it takes. A place for a second drive and a computer this age is not likely. You're better off replacing whatever is there with a good solid state drive and then for extra storage get an external USB drive.
@@MichaelTheComputerGuy Thanks for the info Michael. By the way are SSD drives more reliable than other drives? In other words if it crashes can data be lost or recoverable? Thanks again!😀 At the moment mine just equipped with one of those hybrid SSD drives that came stock with it.
@@RickRoku they usually last longer but when they fail it's usually right away no warning. Get a Samsung SSD and install their magician software to monitor the drive.
In the video you said you were thinking of adding another 8G memory stick. Do you know if that motherboard will let you have a mismatch between the two DIMM's ? (8+4)
I liked this video so much I went and grab everything I needed to upgrade my own RAM/SSD but i have a question when i went to cloning my computer with the ENCLOSURE it successfully transferred the files onto the SAMSUNG SSD 970 EVO PLUS , but after cloning I notice that the size was different from window C drive to the new drive -WINDOW E they are different in size one said 237GB and the other said 217 GB, can I erase the WHOLE SSD CARD and start over or can I select the two same files to fix each other please help also those files was in RED the rest was blue like above in your video what does it mean
The size difference is from the page file and hibernation file. Those aren't copied in a clone. The clone was likely complete. You just need to take it the original drive and connect the new drive. It should not into Windows.
@@MichaelTheComputerGuy Ahh, I see. BTW, I did a replacement this weekend, and thanks to your helpful video it went 100% perfect the first time! Thanks very much!
usually the answer is yes. every harddrive could be upgraded into ssd. on the cpu part, you had to install a cpu-z on your computer to know if your cpu is soldered or not. the soldered one is harder to replace (marked as 'BGA'), and the unsoldered one is easy to replace (marked as 'PGA' if I'm not mistaken).
@@MichaelTheComputerGuy i cloned my ssd using macrium. Everything went well until I installed the ssd. Once Installed it restarted find, just for a couple minutes. I tried to open up a program and it didn't open. After that the screen turned blue saying that " your device ran into a problem and we need to restart"
Your right Timothy Baxter, he Should have, It's clear he doesn't really know what he's doing, He's not a Cary Holzman. lol He knows a little about the software and that's all he comes up short on that to. Putting that one screw in one place is not Secure Enough. Also putting the face of that computer on his table without a cloth in between is not a great idea either, it could scratch up the Finish of the computer as well as scratch the screen it could be Pebbles underneath. And he has clients, really. He also didn't service the fan, clear out the dust, Sorry, Cooper, I can't give you my Vote, lol, and you didn't check the CPU to put fresh cooling goop on the plate. General maintenance is also a part of the other things that you have to do first, installing a new hard drive, upgrading the DDR memory, and cleaning out the computer. Now it's going to have to be re-open up again for overheating problems inside the computer. Truly a backyard mechanic. PS I had to edit my comments because the original draft was very brutal so bottom line thank you for showing us what to do and what not to do you could never be my computer repairman...
Thanks for toning it down. I like you edited this reply. You're kind of right about a few things you said but wrong about others. I dont feel the need to elaborate other than to say you're an asshole.
Viruses and malware were once a very big problem but aren't anymore. Most of what I find are kind of junk programs and Chrome extensions. If I see those I clean them up after the clone because the ssd makes the process go fast.
Michael, I have this same model. Could you tell me what I would need to replace hardware-wise if my touchscreen stopped working? I determined that it must be a hardware issue because I've tried everything from drivers to going into device manager to do various procedures and nothing seems to work. It shows as working, but it's not. It does not work in BIOS either. I've read that it could be a motherboard issue, but I don't want to waste the money if it's not that issue for sure. Thank you!

Nice tutorial. Thank you for that. I would recommend putting a soft towel down under the screen though... Would hate to have to pay to replace a scratched touch screen that large. Makes my skin crawl every time you rotate that screen against the desktop. I can hear the grit grinding on the screen.
I've since got a desk pad that has made people a lot more comfortable watching the newer videos. The table is torn up from years of use and it is so torn up because it is very soft. It never scratched anything I put on top of it. It took me a while to realize that just because I know it wasn't a problem it would still bother people to see because they would think it was a problem. So once I figured that out that it's not just my understanding that matters that I have to account for other peoples comfort I got the new desk pad.
please can you show us how upgrade the cpu of this very same all in one pc
i found an older HP AIO (600-1120) in someones trash a while back so i dragged it home - it was a heavy beast! I thought their might be some useful parts in it but when I plugged it in it booted up and worked. I was able to change the admin password so i could login and found it had a i3 processor and 4gb of ram. It probably belonged to a student because it has a 22" screen and a TV tuner built in, everything works fine and now i have to find someone who needs a computer and let them decide if they want to put in a SSD to speep it up.
The proper solution for installing a 2.5" drive to a 3.5" caddy, would be an adapter. They are fairly cheap to get and would have been a better solution than one screw. Other than that, very informative video, thanks!
The problem with those adapters in a computer like this is that the connections don't align when you use an adapter.
@@MichaelTheComputerGuy while I can't speak for all adapters, there are adapters that would work. Here's a link to one such adapter. www.amazon.com/dp/B00AYJFXIQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_0QPQFb0W78952
I haven't tried a fixed adapter yet, but if for some reason a fixed adapter won't line up, and adjustable one will.
@@darkbarghest83 It wouldn't work because the data and power connectors would be misaligned.
@@darkbarghest83 Yeah, Michael the Computer Guy is right because that adapter is having the SSD sit in the middle of the adapter and in the video, you see the SSD needed to sit against the one side of the holder.
thanks good video
Quick tip on determining if your hard drive is mechanical or Solid State - click in the search field to the right of the Start button and type "defrag" in the field and click "Open" under "Defragment and Optimize Drives". You won't actually defragment the drives, but it will show you if the drive(s) are solid state.
I hadn't thought of that. Just don't force a defrag on a SSD. It's not good for them.
@@MichaelTheComputerGuy Correct. Don’t run a defrag, just open the Defrag app to see if its an SSD or not. I believe this only works in Windows 8.1 or higher.
Excellent! The SSD installation would work similarly to installing a 2,5" HD considering it is a little bit heavier? Tks.
I wouldn't recommend using a hard drive as your c drive. It would make the computer very much slower. If you need extra storage capacity in a computer like this I would recommend connecting a hard drive externally. With that said if you do need, for some reason, to put a 2.5" hard drive in the computer yes it would stay in place and be okay with this unusual mounting method. On the other hand why not just get a 3.5" hard drive so you can install it into the bracket normally?
@@MichaelTheComputerGuy Thanks for insight. I agree, intalling a 3.5" HD will be better in this case.
Thanks for this video!! I have the same exact computer and it is super slow (slower than the one on this vid) i hope to do the same with the same results! Thanks!
Thanks, Michael. I plan to replace the failing 1TB HDD (w/ SATA interface, form factor 3.5) in my HP Pavilion all-in-one 23-q114 with a 512 GB SSD. What should be the specification of the SSD (form factor, size, location of the power and data connections, etc.) be to ensure good fit and compatibility with my computer? Because I will not be able to pre-install Windows on the SSD from the failing HDD, do you have a reference or a youtube video on how to install the operating system from a copy on a USB drive after installing the SSD? Thanks
Just get a 2.5" sata ssd. You can make it fit into the 3.5" spot.
The new, smaller SSD will be swimming in a huge bay of empty space, but you can use elec tape, velcro, or as Michael does in the video, an extra screw, to hold it firmly in place. Careful hot glue gun might even do it. Additionally, I think for 23q, it might help to see this video for how to open the case ruclips.net/video/k0Qlgdgg-xw/видео.html
After that you can freshly install Windows from a USB stick: ruclips.net/video/5rSSrl_PlNw/видео.html
Hi, i like your detailed videos. Do u have any video which shows how to upgrade wireless care from 2.4ghz to 5ghz?
2.4ghz vs 5ghz is more about distance vs speed. 2.4ghz goes farther and is better at going through walls, 5ghz can be faster but doesn't go as far or through walls as well. Whether you're computer can access a 5ghz wifi network depends on the wifi adapter in the computer. You can add a new wifi adapter through a USB port on the computer, desktop or laptop. Search for USB wifi adapter and you'll find them for sale. If you want internal wifi adapter look for pci half mini or ngff adapters or pci e wifi adapters if you have a desktop with a free pci e slot. The pci half mini and ngff adapters can go in desktops and laptops with available pci half mini or ngff slots. As you can see it's complicated. USB wifi adapters are the easiest to install and just about all can do 2.4ghz and 5ghz. Then there's wifi 5 vs wifi 6 and they have alternate names. Yep complicated.
love your box of memories
Whew.. that disk boy! I could of made 3 websites by the time chrome finally loaded on that thing!
You forgot to return the white cap cover on the bottom of the case when you returned the second screw cap cover before attaching the pc stand.
When you put the screw into the replacement drive..was it a self taping screw or did the new drive have a hole you used?
There are screw holes in the bottom and sides of the drives. It takes a fine threaded screw.
I CANT WAIT FOR THIS DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HES SO COOL
Does this work on the new 27in hp all in ones?
Are we not going to talk about how he used 2 different types of ram to upgrade? I've always thought that most likely wouldn't work. Is it different with sodimm ram?
It depends on the two sticks together if they are compatible or not, it may work.
great video. thanks Michael!
excelente video, obrigado....(Brasil)
You went with a smaller ssd. I too have the 1 TB drive. Why go with a smaller drive? Cost?
Isn't there a high temp adhesive glue specifically for computer components that you could have used
To hold the SSD in? Probably that is an option but the screw works really well.
Thinking of putting a ssd caddy to this pc for extra ssd
Thank you....great job 👍👍👍
Thx for this. I need to do this also. Why only a quarter TB SSD though?
Thats more space than they needed. Going with a smaller capacity saved money.
Lol the video got me when it said it it slow. Nice video
Was that buffered or unbuffered memory? I have the same computer with a failing drive. Might as well up grade the memory to.
I don't remember that.
I liked your video, very informative, thx
Please say you did the thermal past.
Very helpful. Thank you!
Very well done video that was easy to follow. These All in One PC's are a pain in the rear to work on. I won't buy another used one. Thanks. AAAAA+++++
did you ever tried to add second harddrive by replacing the dvd rom to a 2.5 harddrive caddy on this pc? i tried and failed as the system won't recorgnize the new SSD. even if i upgrade the bios to the lastest version, it still won't work. i added second harddrive on dell and levono all in one pc before using the same method, and they all worked well.
I haven't in an all in one. Did you try it with a DVD to 2.5" drive caddy?
what was the power cable? can I have a link to it possibly?
The Adata SU-800 series is a good choice. It has Micron memory and DRAM as well. The lower models don't have DRAM.
I find it rather silly that HP don't install a 2.5" mechanical HD. The 1TB to 2TB capacities cost about the same as the 3.5" versions nowadays. The computer would be a lot lighter from the get go and would have a smaller drive cage.
Also do you have a vid for upgrading the processor ?
This is the only video I have for it. You can use this video is kind of a guide to opening it up but you'll need to go a little bit deeper for the CPU. Do a Google search for your computers full model number and the words CPU upgrade. You should find people talking about it if it's possible and which CPUs they got to work in that particular model computer. You can then take those model numbers of the CPUs and try and find one on eBay.
@@MichaelTheComputerGuy okay thanks
Did you ever find a better way to secure the SSD? I have an HP Envy 23 model c110xt that posed a similar dilemma. I had purchased a Crucial SSD and it was just too thin and narrow/small for the original, old-school frame there to secure the HDD. I just snapped the drive in place and replaced the frame with no screw, in the hopes that the internal vibrations will not shake the drive loose. Your thoughts? Should I go back in there and see if there is a different way to secure it? Thanks
The way in the video worked. You can also use tape to place it.
Thank you so much, it help a lot
Dear Sir, I have a HP Pavillian all in one 23Q-105na. It states its name is;DESKTOP-8TD4KD8. I wish to install a SAMSUNG SSD 870 EVO-500 gb. Can you see that i will have any problem doing this. It is a touch screen. I am elderly and wish to see the computer open etc quicker. I do not store very much information on it.Thank you in anticipation. Great tutorial.
It should work.
Does this mean you can actually upgade any AiO ? Also graphics card ? Or is it still better to buy a desktop if you're planning to upgrade once in a while ?
The graphics can't be upgraded. Cpu most times can't be upgraded in all in ones. Yes if you have space for it a desktop is best.
Could you do a GPU upgrade tutorial please?
You can't upgrade the GPU on a all-in-one computer. Doing it on the laptop is highly unlikely as well. As far as a regular desktop computer. ruclips.net/video/ZJY7vBWCBw0/видео.html
It's an old video but still has good info. Also check out the power supply video in that same series.
Can you answer me if it can be done with a hp 23-q113 I have the same problem but I don't know if I can change to an SSD.
Is there any way to tell what power supply cord and memory can be used if one is bad on HP23-o014 series?
Also can this pc I mentioned above have a second hard drive inside?
Thanks in advance!😀👍
Near where the power supply plugs into the back of the computer they'll be riding on it that tells you the size of the opening and the voltage and amperage of power cord it takes. A place for a second drive and a computer this age is not likely. You're better off replacing whatever is there with a good solid state drive and then for extra storage get an external USB drive.
@@MichaelTheComputerGuy
Thanks for the info Michael. By the way are SSD drives more reliable than other drives? In other words if it crashes can data be lost or recoverable?
Thanks again!😀
At the moment mine just equipped with one of those hybrid SSD drives that came stock with it.
@@RickRoku they usually last longer but when they fail it's usually right away no warning. Get a Samsung SSD and install their magician software to monitor the drive.
Great tutorial, helped allot!
In the video you said you were thinking of adding another 8G memory stick. Do you know if that motherboard will let you have a mismatch between the two DIMM's ? (8+4)
Most computers can handle mixed capacity RAM sticks.
@@MichaelTheComputerGuy Okay thanks, but I was told with my all in one that the max RAM is 16G. Does that sound right?
@@briancamidge3230 That's likely correct. What is the model number of the computer?
I liked this video so much I went and grab everything I needed to upgrade my own RAM/SSD but i have a question when i went to cloning my computer with the ENCLOSURE it successfully transferred the files onto the SAMSUNG SSD 970 EVO PLUS , but after cloning I notice that the size was different from window C drive to the new drive -WINDOW E they are different in size one said 237GB and the other said 217 GB, can I erase the WHOLE SSD CARD and start over or can I select the two same files to fix each other please help also those files was in RED the rest was blue like above in your video what does it mean
The size difference is from the page file and hibernation file. Those aren't copied in a clone. The clone was likely complete. You just need to take it the original drive and connect the new drive. It should not into Windows.
Awesome video. I noticed you went from a 1TB HD to a 256 GB SSD? Why go down in storage size?
Because the client didn't need more than 256GB of space. Most people don't.
@@MichaelTheComputerGuy Ahh, I see. BTW, I did a replacement this weekend, and thanks to your helpful video it went 100% perfect the first time! Thanks very much!
is the lan card an NGFF?
It looks like a ngff
Hi. My sound on my HPPavilion 23gq205nh is not working. Do I have to change the motherboard
Soo would I be able to do all of these steps on my HP Omni100 desktop computer?
usually the answer is yes. every harddrive could be upgraded into ssd. on the cpu part, you had to install a cpu-z on your computer to know if your cpu is soldered or not. the soldered one is harder to replace (marked as 'BGA'), and the unsoldered one is easy to replace (marked as 'PGA' if I'm not mistaken).
@@thankyouverymochi Thanks.
Hello, do I need to back up my programs ? Or they'll be clone too?
Clonings gets everything
Hello I cloned my ssd but when I in. What seems to be the problem?
@@scrappygoon37 If you're asking for help you need to say what happened.
@@MichaelTheComputerGuy i cloned my ssd using macrium. Everything went well until I installed the ssd. Once Installed it restarted find, just for a couple minutes. I tried to open up a program and it didn't open. After that the screen turned blue saying that " your device ran into a problem and we need to restart"
And it takes me to hard disk error and to run a diagnostic
Shouldn’t you have checked for viruses and malware on the old drive before cloning it over to the new one?
Your right Timothy Baxter, he Should have, It's clear he doesn't really know what he's doing, He's not a Cary Holzman. lol He knows a little about the software and that's all he comes up short on that to. Putting that one screw in one place is not Secure Enough. Also putting the face of that computer on his table without a cloth in between is not a great idea either, it could scratch up the Finish of the computer as well as scratch the screen it could be Pebbles underneath. And he has clients, really. He also didn't service the fan, clear out the dust, Sorry, Cooper, I can't give you my Vote, lol, and you didn't check the CPU to put fresh cooling goop on the plate. General maintenance is also a part of the other things that you have to do first, installing a new hard drive, upgrading the DDR memory, and cleaning out the computer. Now it's going to have to be re-open up again for overheating problems inside the computer. Truly a backyard mechanic. PS I had to edit my comments because the original draft was very brutal so bottom line thank you for showing us what to do and what not to do you could never be my computer repairman...
Thanks for toning it down. I like you edited this reply. You're kind of right about a few things you said but wrong about others. I dont feel the need to elaborate other than to say you're an asshole.
Viruses and malware were once a very big problem but aren't anymore. Most of what I find are kind of junk programs and Chrome extensions. If I see those I clean them up after the clone because the ssd makes the process go fast.
@@MichaelTheComputerGuy, lol that tells me a lot. you really don't know what your doing. lol lol lol but keep tryin. lol
Michael, I have this same model. Could you tell me what I would need to replace hardware-wise if my touchscreen stopped working? I determined that it must be a hardware issue because I've tried everything from drivers to going into device manager to do various procedures and nothing seems to work. It shows as working, but it's not. It does not work in BIOS either. I've read that it could be a motherboard issue, but I don't want to waste the money if it's not that issue for sure. Thank you!
What's the full model number on your computer?
