There is a M.2 and SATA comparison video using the same laptop and the laptop with M.2 drive starts Windows much quicker in boot, some times upgrading the hdd is better than upgrading the ram
Did you back up the old HD before removing it? What will be on the new hard drive and how do you transfer data from old HD to new HD exactly? Will old Windows and Office transfer to new HD?
No, didn't back up anything, just installed fresh windows again. New hard drive is empty until you install Windows or clone your old drive. You will have to follow some tutorials here on youtube to back up data and or how to clone old drive. Hope it helps!
I have a question can I put in to my laptop also 32 GB of ram and can I put a M2 with 1 TB also in it please tell it me I want to upgrade my laptop for my mom because she hasn't enough storage space
32GB should be no problem, just check before.. does your laptop uses DDR3 or DDR4 RAM, these models came with different configurations. If it's DDR4 RAM then 32GB is supported. 1TB M.2 is also supported.. so happy upgrading to you 👍

Yes technically but you can place either m2 or ssd at that specific place so i choose M2. Now for 2nd drive you must have to take out your dvd rom and use your other ssd in place od dvd rom... Hope it helps 😊

Thanks for the video! Exactly what I needed
Glad to help 👍
This laptop is in the Goldilocks zone in terms of storage options, hybrid uefi/bios m.2/sata, only thing missing is sdcard reader
mine has sd card slot on the right side below to usb ports
I am cloning my HDD to the SSD before swapping out drives.
M.2 then it means I can install an nvme drive
Hp website says it supports 2133 mhz ram, and you install 2400 mhz ram. Aat what frequency it works eventually?
Yes You Cam Use 2666mhz also but auto set on 2133mhz

Hi, I have a quation, can we put both M.2 and 2.5inch SSD(or HDD) same time, does it has enough room for both? please reply?
Just one or another! Can't have 2 of them together simply because there's not enough room.
Maybe with a Sata to m.2 mini adapter, there are m.2 Hdd caddies to replace the sata optical drive
@@lardarseG Hi can you share more info about this. I was not able to find those caddies
Thanks for this most informative video!!!!
Please show of I get to the charging port to repair the open terminal on the motherboard THANKS! 😊
You are welcome 👍
Great video -- well done

Yes technically but you can place either m2 or ssd at that specific place so i choose M2. Now for 2nd drive you must have to take out your dvd rom and use your other ssd in place od dvd rom... Hope it helps 😊
is it possible to replace the dvd rom with hdd? thanks
I would think it is.. have not done it my self.
What card model do you use to read the sim card? For cellular data.
is it necessary to change something on BIOS after upgrading?
have you tested 2x16 RAM on this laptop?
No, didn't have 16gb sticks at the time but maybe someone here has tested.
So the we ar unable to update the cpu?
Can I change the I5 for a I7 or don't have a slot? It's a welded processor?
Hi, CPU upgrade is not possible on these laptops, soldered to the mb.
Your firgerprint works well in this model?
Mine no :(
Fingerprint readers are crap on these laptops, tested one few years ago and don't really recommend using it.
Hi! How much the battery price??
Hey, could u answer? Can I use hdd and ssd m.2 together ??
No, only 2.5" or m.2
@@ToxicNerd I think it's possible by inserting caddy in the place of dvd drive and 1 M.2 ssd.. hope I'm right, correct me if I'm wrong

RAM - upgradable, graphic cards integrated so not feasible
You can upgrade ram to 16GB no problem but the graphics chip is soldered to the motherboard so no upgrade there!
@@ToxicNerd Hi, can you do video tutorial on how to reprogram the hp probook 640 g2 after installing a new SSD ? Thank you so much!
Is there a need to reprogram the laptop after installing a new SSD or RAM??
Anything above i6 cpu is locked to uefi
