Congratulations on your success! I've gotten the parts but haven't had the time yet. Is there anything special I should look out for or any tips you can give?

Hi Guys.
I have recieved and installed the Adapter and ssd.
Installed win8 with DVD and Drivers with Usb stick.
Wow it's amazingly fast I don't think My Benchmark is correct but it's dam fast.
showing up as 2200mbs read and write and 0.030ms

As we are talking about win 10 we will get a free uprade, and have one year time to instal it. After the year is over we will have to buy it even by a reinstall.
workaround is to upgrade a fresh instalion of win 8 with updates installed, no programs or junk.
Then make with Acronis a Recovery Back up.
Wich means that when you restore this recovery it will already be activated. So Microsoft does not even know that you reinstalled it.
saves about 100 bucks.

I'm thinking maybe I'll put the Windows 10 preview on it.

Maybe I will leave out the recovery and do a clean install as there is to much crap on there.
The serial number is put in automaticaly from the mainboard anyway so I will use an external dvd.

Duh, just create and use the recovery media.

(Forgot about the recovery media, it's been a long time since I had a new PC with recovery media)

Thanks for the link to the adapter Promediax. I have ordered one and also an 850 EVO mSATA. Please do post how you make out, I will do same.

How are you planning to load the OS on to the new drive? I'm thinking of doing a backup image to a USB drive with Comodo Backup or ToDo backup, then creating a bootable recovery flash drive, install the 850 EVO, and then boot off the flash drive and restore from the image.

Hi Guys

I have been looking for days for a solution to put a ssd in.
After 3 days of intensive googling I finaly found what I was looking for.
Adapter for ssd with the wird plug we have.
I ordered it today from the US so it will take a while before I get it.
I also ordered a asata ssd (Samsung 850 evo msata ssd 250gb) to use.
I will report how it went.
Here is the link.

Laut HP handelt es sich hier um einen ZIF-Anschluss, also keine handelsübliche SATA-Platte

Habs mal aufgemacht, ne SSD passt vom Platz her rein (meine Samsung).
Aber die SSD-Anschlüsse der Platte habe ich noch nie vorher gesehen. Ich finde auch keinen Adapter dafür !?

Der Arbeitsspeicher ist soweit ich weiß fest auf der Platine verlötet und nicht wechselbar.
Mich würde interessieren, ob sich die HDD tauschen lässt, denn ideal wäre das Teil mit SSD. Ich habe das o.g. Modell seit einer Woche und binsoweit recht zufrieden. Ein USB Port mehr wäre nett. Leider ist auch der Digitizer-Stift noch nicht verfügbar...

Laut HP Support ist der Akku austauschbar (führt zu Garantieverlust).
Kann man auch den Arbeitsspeicher aufrüsten?
