ENVY TouchSmart 15t-j100 Quad Edition mSSD cache & Ram options

Good day all,
I've ordered the ENVY TouchSmart 15t-j100 Quad Edition from HP directly and during the configuration, it was mentioned that I could not configure the notebook with both the 24Gb mSSD Hard Drive Acceleration Cache AND 16Gb of Ram. I wondered if it was a memory slot usage issue but I can configure with either 2x4Gb or 1x8Gb with no warning. Is it possible to add another 8Gb (as I ordered it with 1x8Gb) after getting this laptop or would having the mSSD Cache actually prohibit this?
Thanks for any help offered.
Richard
*not sure if it's of any consequence to the issue but the Hard Drive ordered for this system was a Hybrid.
This question was solved.

It is not a physical problem with blockage of the memory slot but having 16 gigs of RAM means the cache drive may not work right. The cache drive has to be able to store everything in memory and then certain other files and the HP designers have decided it would take a bigger cache drive to work right with more than 8 gigs of RAM.

    Yes, this laptop supports Intel 7260AC wireless cards. I think that the whitelist is not there anymore. If you browse further this forum you can find threads with users confirming the chip is compatible and working well.

    Ok.
    A few questions I think the technical team can confirm and answer for me:
    1.   CPU soldered in or upradeable with aftermarket CPU purchase? This is Intel i7 4700
    2.  Is GPU upgradeable with aftermarket GPU?  This one is 470M
    3.  Possibility of installing an additional SSD (one to boot), and HDD for a performance/storage configuration (not mSSD).
    -Use of drive caddy or something a long these lines e.g. where mSata, or DVD drives can both be swapped for a drive caddy.
    Thanks.

    The CPU is not soldered in place but you are going to find that there is not a lot of improvement possible. That is a 4th gen i7 processor and even if you could get one a tick or 2 faster the price would be astronomical not to mention you would void the warranty. Not worth it. 
    No GPU upgrade is possible. The video is on a chip soldered to the board. 
    Yes, the laptop has a second hard drive bay and you can get an SSD (regular full sized) to put in the first bay to use as a boot drive. This will speed it up tremendously such that you will not want to upgrade the CPU any more. 
    Here is the caddy you need:

  • HP ENVY TouchSmart 15t-j000 Quad Edition Notebook PC - MEMORY TYPE

    Hello,
    I ordered this PC with 8GB DDR3 System Memory (1 Dimm).  I want to purchase 1 more 8GB stick to max out the memory but I'm not sure what type to get?  I would have added it when I built it but for some reason it wouldn't allow me to since I selected the 24GB mSSD option.  This was the error message:
    Selection caused conflict24GB Solid State Hard Drive Acceleration Cache requires purchase of 4GB, 6GB or 8GB System Memory. Update Memory or Hard Drive Acceleration Cache .
    Please help and thanks!

    I guess the 24GB mSDD cache is used to store both windows 8 and the data from memory during sleep or hiberbnation for fast boot and instant on purpose. 16GB is used to store windows 8 and 8GB is used to store memory data. If memory is 16GB, the mSSD cache should be at least 32GB. If you upgrade mSSD to 32GB, it should be OK.

    Hi,
    There will be a common 2.5" hard drive or a hybrid which means that you should be able to replace it by a solid state drive as these are manufactured in the same sizes as common hard drives (7mm, 9.5mm, 12.5mm etc..). Perhaps some manufacturers make only 9.5 or 12.5mm drives but I don't think there will be a 7mm hdd anyway.

  • WLAN for HP ENVY 15t-j100 Quad Edition Notebook PC

    I just purchased a HP ENVY 15t-j100 Quad Edition Notebook PC with Windows 7 (February 2014).
    It comes with 802.11bgn 1×1 WLAN module, which is not satisfactory so I would like to upgrade the WLAN to an Intel 7260ac.
    According to the user manual, the following two parts are the only WLAN whitelisted by the BIOS:
    #1:
    Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160 802.11 ac 1×1 WiFi + Bluetooth 4.0 Combo Adapter
    Spare part number = 710662-001
    #2:
    Intel Dual Band Wireless 7260 802.11 bgn 2×2 WiFi + Bluetooth 4.0 Combo Adapter
    Spare part number = 717384-001
    I cannot find any of these models anywhere! I do find a 710661-001 on Amazon (which would be great if the BIOS accepts it! and good price too at about $35).
    Could someone tell me if I can put this WLAN card (710661-001 on Amazon) or where to buy the HP approved #1 and/or #2 card listed above?
    Thank you!

    Hi Arnaud_, welcome to the HP Forums. Unfortunately if the parts are not in the user manual I cannot guarantee they will work. You can try to buy it from HP PartSurfer.

  • TouchPad Not Working on Envy 15t-j100 Quad Edition

    The scrolling feature on my laptops touchpad has stopped working, along with the four finger flick gesture. This has happened several times, and I cannot remember how I resolved it before. What can I do to get this working again, and how can I keep this from occuring again in the future?

    Hi
    Your manual: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03943414.pdf
    Unfortunately you can't upgrade graphic. NVIDIA is soldered on to the system board. Moreover there are no compatible boards with GTX 900M listed even if you're planning to change out the whole board.

  • HP Simplepass for HP Envy 15t J100 Quad Edition (energystar)

    I used the Media Creation Tool provided by Windows to upgrade my computer to Windows 10. After setting up the new OS, I realized some features had not been copied over (as I selected Keep all files). I noticed that a number of programs that were originally present in  this laptop when I bought it (such as HP support Assistant, CoolSense, and SimplePass) did not carry over. I have since reinstalled HP Support Assistant and Coolsense from the HP forums here; however, I am unable to find a download for HP SimplePass that is meant for my Notebook. Again, I would greatly appreciate any solution as I heavily relied on the fingerprint reader in my Notebook PC.  Thanks in advance! Taffer

    I have requested an escalation. Hopefully someone from HP will contact you next week.

  • HP ENVY TouchSmart 17T-j000 Quad Ed. Upgrades/Modifications

    Hello All,
    My next laptop will most likly be the ENVY TouchSmart 17T-j000 Quad Edition with Windows 8 Professional. However I have several questions before I purchase this machine. I hope the knowledge base here can help.
    1) Is it possible to reconfigure the laptop to use the mSATA SSD hard drive acceleration cache as the primary boot drive?
    2) The ENVY TouchSmart 17T-j000 Quad Edition can be optioned with a 24GB mSATA SSD. What is the maximum memory capacity this laptop will recognize? ie, 64Gb, 128Gb, 256GB....
    3) When customizing the ENVY TouchSmart 17T-j000 Quad Edition through HP's Customize and Buy, why am I limited to 8Gb of memory when selecting 24Gb mSATA Acceleration Cache?
    4) Is there a limit to the memory capacity of HHDs and SSDs the ENVY TouchSmart 17T-j000 Quad Edition is capable of recognizing?
    5) The ENVY TouchSmart 17T-j000 Quad Edition comes with two drive bays. What are the physical limits for hard drives in the bays? Specifically, will 15mm 2.5" HDDs fit?
    6) If I purchase the ENVY TouchSmart 17T-j000 Quad Edition with an empty 2nd HDD bay, will I need to purchase additional adaptors and/or cables in the future to attach a second HDD?
    I do apologize for so many questions however if I'm going to pay more than $1200 for a laptop I need to ask a few. Thank you for taking the time to read and respond.
    For those interested this possible future buy is replacing an 8 year old HP Pavilion ZV-6130us Windows XP Pro SP3 with 2Gb RAM, a 256Gb primary HDD and a 2nd 1Tb HDD in the optical drive bay. The only failures in 8 years was one cooling fan 2-3 years ago and the optical drive 4 years ago. This HP has been good to me.
    Again, Thanks.

  • Hp envy 15t j000 quad edition ssd upgrade: what to know

    Hello everyone so im going to buy an hp envy 15t j000 quad edition for school and was looking online to see what i can upgrade on it to make it faster. Im not very knowledgable with computers so i need lots of help! While doing so i found out the hp comes with a hard disk drive (hdd) and that these are prone to damage over time and dropping, moving, ect. I learned that solid state drives (ssd) are prefered and can make the computer significantly faster and wont be as vunerable as the disk drive. Im upgrading the envy with the NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M Graphics with 2048MB of dedicated video memory, 15.6-inch diagonal Full HD BrightView LED-backlit Display (1920x1080), and the 12GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm) option. Will any of this affect my swapping of the hdd? I also was wondering why the 8gb ddr3 system memory (2dimm) didn't affect the price for switching to the 12gb option.There isnt a difference right? also would the 24gb accelrated cache be of any use? For my last question i think i heard that i would need to clone or buy another copy of windows 8 to put on the new ssd. will there be any problems doing this? Am i in for a headache?

    Pepe999
    I went on to Tom's Hardware to looking into the 16GB memory.. there is a recent report where adding 16 gb-ddr3 ram.. will increase the life of a SSD drive by 63% compared to 4gb.. here is the link.. thought it was interesting and supported my thinking in reducing the number of HD writes.

    thought I'd share it with you.. what do you think..
    Did you find the 1tb-SSD? try newegg.

  • Hp Envy 17t-j100 Quad Edition Notebook PC Graphics Card Upgrade

    I bought the Hp Envy 17t-j100 Quad Edition Notebook PC a while back and i was wondering if i could upgrade the graphics card on it. When you buy the laptop if gives you an option, you can either buy the Intel Deticated Graphics or the Nvidia Geforce GT 740 and i decided to buy the Nvidia GT 740 because i heard the integrated graphics were not that good for playing games. So i was wondering if i could somehow take out the NVidia Geforce GT 740 and replace with a better graphics card, Would that be possible?
    Thanks

    Sorry; no dice. The video card is soldered to the motherboard. The point-of-sale options are for laptops with different motherboards. Buying a laptop is like buying a house: think about what you need now and in the future because they are not easy to change.
