Press the Power button and then immediately press the ESC key on the upper left of your keyboard, about once per second. You will soon see a Recovery screen menu that instructs you to press the F10 button to go directly to your BIOS menu. Pressing the ESC key is easy to remember; that way, you don't have to memorize the other F button choices. Easy! Good luck!

HP ENVY TouchSmart 15t-j000

Good morning.
I just received my new laptop, with 256 SSD & 1 T hard drive.
My question is whether I can replace the 256 SSD with 1 T SSD 2,5" ?
Reason is that having 2 drives of 1 T each, I can make regular and frequent cloning from C to D, so if something goes wrong
I can just replace the C (SSD) with the D (Normal hard drive) and be back in business at a snap (am I a dreamer ?).
I already use my old laptop with 2 X 516 Gb drives and use to clone each of them on equal capacity external drives every week. However since I do not really need more than few hundred Gbs for both Windows and storage, I just want to be able
to clone from C to D instead of using external drives for cloning.
I just saw that mSSD and 2,5" SSD are not physically the same. However I also see an adaptor (please see the link)
that may be used to accommodate a higher mSSD (1 T) and then placed in the socket of the mSSD in the laptop.
Unless of course the socket in the laptop is restricting the use of mSSD only.

Thanks in advance for any comment on my question.
Have a blessed day.

That model is so new there is no Service Manual the describes it. Officially, the Touchsmart 15t-j000 only supports a 24 gig mSSD as an acceleration cache and the mSSD slot could not be the boot drive if a regular hard drive is also installed. See page 5 of the Manual here:
Manual
The prior limit was implemented in the BIOS and there were a lot of people asking HP to make the mSSD the boot drive and now they have apparently complied. They also used to not sell an mSSD on models with 12 or 16 gigs of RAM and that is obviously no longer the case.
If you want to protect your data simply make a 240 gig partition on the 1 TB drive and use backup software like Acronis or even Windows Backup and run a regular backup to that partition of the main drive. If the mSATA dies you can stick in another mSATA mSSD, boot the system from a utility disk and copy the contents of the backup partition back onto the new mSSD. If you put in a 1 TB mSSD (which is going to cost an arm and a leg) I guess you would use the whole mechanical drive as a backup location but the principle would be the same. As long as you have an active backup image on the mechanical drive you should be fine. I would not buy a second mSSD just on the very remote chance the first one is going to go bad.
I believe your model also has RAID ability and you could set up a 1 TB mSSD and the 1 TB mechanical drive in a RAID-1 (mirror) but boot from the mSSD and if it goes bad just remove the mSSD and set the machine to boot from the mechanical drive, which would be slower but would give you zero downtime. If you create the RAID-1 array it would mean reinstalling the operating system onto the array.

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.

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.

How to enter BIOS settings on Equium L10?

Please can someone tell me what button i press too get into the bios setup at the start when i switch my pc on cos i have tried every thing, but nothing works.

Hello
Every time when you switch the notebook ON you can see at the bottom left hand site the short instruction how to enter BIOS settings. In your case you must use F2 button. Please keep it down immediately after switching the notebook ON.
Generally the Toshiba notebooks are delivered with two different BIOS versions (BIOS producer):
- TOSHIBA BIOS: enter using ESC and F1 button
- Phoenix BIOS: enter using F2 button.
According the specification your unit has Phoenix BIOS.

Have you read the User Manual? I think it will be somewhere in the book. However, for this gen, you can access BIOS by F2 and boot up list with F12

Envy TouchSmart 17t-j000 Quad Memory Card Reader

My Envy TouchSmart 17t-j000 Quad memory card reader does not work. Notebook is only about six months old and I tried out a memory stick for the first time yesterday and nothing happened. The memory stick works fine in another computer. When I plug the memory stick in there is no AutoPlay window and it is not listed in This PC window. In Device Manager I do not see the card reader listed in USB controllers and Disk drives. I do see listed in Device Manager in Memory technology devices a Realtek PCIE CardReader. It is enabled and has the latest driver update. I have tried shutting down, disconnected power cord, removed battery, reversed procedure, and restarting notebook with the memory stick installed, still nothing. This Envy came with Windows 8 and I updated to 8.1. Also, all four USB ports work. System diagnostics test was performed and everything passed. Should I try to uninstall and re-install the Realtek PCIE CardReader? Thanks to anyone that can help?

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.

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.
View Solution.

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.

How to enter bios on a Pavillon p7-1459

I am installing a new HDD and I want to install windows 8 with my recovery discs.
So ,how can i enter bios to format the new HDD and start the recovery from mi discs.
Thanks for any help.

Cucutitos, welcome to the forum.
You will not have to enter th BIOS to format the new HDD. Here is what you have to do:
System Recovery: This option reformats the system drive (usually C:\), reinstalls the original operating system, and reinstalls all the original hardware drivers and software.
Warning:If the size of the OS partition (usually C:\) was reduced below a minimum size requirement, other user-created partitions will be removed and stored data will be destroyed.
Also, here is a guide to give you further help. Make certain that the new HDD is the same size of larger than the current HDD.
Note: To enter the BIOS begin immediately tapping the "esc" key when the computer begins to boot.
