How to upgrade hdd to sad for Lenovo y460 ?

Hi I am thinking of upgrading my hdd to ssd, but how do I reinstall my win7 into the new sad as my laptop didn't come with the disc but some one key recovery.
Can I buy any ssd 250gb in the market or some trim enabled ones?

Super thanks If you don't mind losing OneKey feature you can just buy an ssd similar to this which I think includes a cloning software which you will use to transfer your OS to the ssd. In general all ssd nowadays already have trim integrated and enabled.

  • How to upgrade HDD on MBP?

    I am going to be getting a new MBP 15" soon and will be doing some upgrades to it myself (HDD and RAM). I currently have a 13" MBP and will be transfering everything over to the new machine.
    My question is, what is the best way to do so?
    My plan was to just do the upgrading before even starting up the new MBP and then when I start it for the first time I'll do the migrate assist.
    Is there a better way to do this?
    Also, do I need to do anything else to the new HDD after it is install, like reformatting it or anything like that? If so, any links or how-to vids for this would be great!
    Thanks!!

    If you have a spare external HDD enclsoure around you can place your new drive (the one you'll be installing into your new MBP 15") and do the formating and transfering by simply pluging it into your existing 13" MBP.
    To do this go to Disk Utility, select the drive and formate it as a 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled)' with the Volume Cheme as 'GUID Partition Table'. Someone mau have to correct me on this as it's been a while since I've done this.
    To do the data transfer onto the new drive after it has been formated I would recmonend a program called 'SuperDuper!'. The process to clone your drive is pretty simple if my memory serves me right.
    After al of this is done, simply swap out your old drive and install the new one and it's all done!
    Hope that helped.

  • RAM upgrade: DDR3 or DDR3L for Lenovo IdeaPad G710 59-410793 ?

    I searched a lot, but I still can’t find out, what kind of memory I have in my Lenovo.
    RAM is marked as “Samsung M471B5173DB0-YK0 4GB”.
    Search gave me different answers. Some say, that it’s voltage is 1,35(V) (as I understand, It is low voltage DDR3L). Others say, that it has 1,5(V) voltage (ordinary DDR3). I even found this one – “Description: PC3-12800, 1.5V, 1.35V…” (hm, some sort of a hybrid? .
    UPD: Image+screens:
    Spoiler (Highlight to read)
    and AIDA64:
       and AIDA64:
     As you see on screens - this is probably a DDR3L memory installed. But, I've read somewhere, that DDR3L is actually a DDR2 modified (overclocked or whatever they call it). And I'm not happy about it.
    So, what kind of memory I should buy? (I want 8gb + 8gb). Can it be simple and well known DDR3, with no 'L'-experements?
    Solved!

    Good day.
    From everything I've read here in the forums, Haswell CPU machines use DDR3L RAM. There are a number of reports of machines not booting with DDR3 installed.
    Disclaimer: I have no experience with the G710, personally, so hopefully other community members will be able to confirm for you, definitively.

    Hi ghattiya,
    Removing and replacing the HDD, assuming the same form factor, is shown in the Lenovo Training Videos.
    For tips on how to clone the drive or do a clean install, I suggest starting by searching the forum.

  • S205 :Sad with Lenovo Driver support for Win 8

    Sorry for my bad english, but I need to tell you my frustrating experience.
    Due to low cost new windows 8 OS 64bit, I buy a lincense for mine Lenovo S205, conforted with some new Driver updated for 8 on Lenovo site.
    I saw something strange in the Driver's page for ex. the wireless driver is called Cybertan\LiteOn and we have a Ralink RT 3090 wifi module.(or in some market Atheros AR9285)... Hummm realy strange.
    I cross my fingers, I pray god and I start downloadin ALL the driver and start upgrading my system.
    At restart I have my new Win8 64bit system and thank of god the most important driver (Ralink wifi) was autodetected and recognized by Win8  whitout install the strange Cybertan\LiteOn from Lenovo that doubt was working in a ralink device.
    But at this point strarts the big issues with the unrecognized devices, that tahnks of god were less than expected but drivers fron Lenovo site were all wrong !!!!! Yes wrong, it seems a joke but was the true, 
    I think,(to tell the true I'm sure) no one from Lenovo tech checked the drivers in a S205 models, and I can explain why with the above sad experience:
    - SOUND: windows only install generic HD drivers and the sound quality as expected was crappy. So I try the lenovo driver Conexant but it does not properly work, SmatAudio icon in the ControlPannel was not present, no conexant pannel to manage sound, and nothing changed, windows continue with is own generym Microsoft HD drivers. I remeber that Lenovo model U300S and U300E have the same soundcard I dowload their Conexant Win8 driver (with a different number so I hope it was teh latest) and my idea was great, the Conexant U300 driver works on my S205 lenovo and Win8 detect the conexant soundcard and SmartAudio is present and working. There is only a isse concerning SRS Sound that is present on my system but if I try to lounch nothing appens, so I think is not correctly working. But so far so god sound is better than before with generic MS drivers, but to do so I have to choose a different driver from a different Lenovo pc, not an easy step for a normal user.
    - OSD: on screen display (FN+F keys) in 7 they was insert in the Lenovo Energy Mnagement, so to works you need to instal it. I make the same in win 8 with the new Lenovo Energy Management provides by Lenovo site, Lenovo Energy Management is working but OSD no !!!!
    Windows 8 detect and show you in autonomy soud level and brightnes when you press FN+Arrow keys ant that are the most important but ALL the FN+F Keys are not showed on screen even if probably they are working (for ex. Fn+F6 correctly enabel1disable touchpad) but not icon showen on screen !! Well I can leave without OSD but once again seems Lenovo don't try EnergyManagement on a Win8 pc.
    - CARD READER: Windows detect and unknow device called USB CRW and I though correctly was the card reader, in fact I try a sd and win8 was not able to read it. So I install the Realtek CardReader downloaded from Lenovo site, It was extracted and installed but I don't know why the driver seems bugged, the pattern contains only some icon but not exe ord driver, in fact the Card reader even if I try the driver more times it was not decetced. I tryed the old Windows 7 driver for my S205 and thank of god it was working and now my cardreader is detected and working. Once angain the win8 driver provided by Lenovo fails and I need the oldest win 7 driver that maks the job.
    - TOUCHPAD: Synaptics touchpad was detected by windows 8 but all the basic features as the scrolling or 2 fingers was not working. So I try the Synaptics drivers provided by Lenovo and it was only for 32bit system even if is clearly showed as 32 and 64bit driver. The driver itself promp me that is not working on a 64bit system and i need to contact the producer :-(
    Hahahaha very hilarious so I have to download the driver from Synaptics server that is so slow that I need 2 hours to finaly have my touchpad driver. Once again an epic fail from lenovo site.
    CONCLUSION: Lenovo is the new n.1 pc producer in the world but it seems realy not professional when check his drivers and public it on the website. Could be s205 is the cheapest and not business line notebook but ... I am realy sad whit the way Lenovo put new drivers without any preventive control in the homesite driver's page.
    It seems it was a lottery, extracting a number and put the corresponding driver on the S205 drivers page :-(
    Sir this is not the good behaviour, is the bast way to loose users !!!! Very disappointed, very sad and I hope this post can help S205 users taht want use the new Windows 8 system to catch the correct solutions
    I hope too some Lenovo developers can read this, try win8 on a s205 notebook and solve all the problems, because even if I solve with my 20 years pc experience all the issue, still remais some problems as SRS Sound seems not working (if It can work on our system, but if it can't why put in on our s205 driver too) and no OSD for every FN keys working.
    There are not present some utility for win 8 as for example the CAPSLOCK keys utility that was present for 7 but not for 8 (I have to try if the older work on 8) or the Lenovo OneKey that seems not ready for 8..
    So far so good winodws 8 works great on S205 and is a good choice if you catch the correct drivers as I explain here.
    Hoping this help Lenovo not making the same mistakes in the future, and learn from their errors.
    Once angain sorry for my language mistake but I'm not English
    Hore this post can help in some case
    Bye

    Hi Romagnolo1973!
    Thank you for posting all the things you learned, and how you got your S205 working with Windows 8! Hopefully this will help others. 
    To be fair to Lenovo, they list Windows 8 as not supported on the S205.

  • How to upgrade First Generation Touch to use Remote for Apple TV

    Hello and thanks in advance.
    Can anyone tell me how to upgrade the OS for a 1st Generation iPod Touch so that it can use the Remote App from I tunes to control the Apple TV device. It needs to be the 3.1.2 version, but Apple seems to offer only 3.1    I found the 3.1.2 version on a non-apple site and attempted to download and install it but it didn't work out. (Error 14). I was expecting to control the TV with my 1G Touch and am a little disappointed with Apple that the older Touch units seemingly cannot do this.  Any help appreciated.

    You can buy 3.1 thru iTunes then use it to upgrade to 3.1.3.

All my text to him automatically send as a imessage. Ive tried to delete his contact and then went back in and reentered it but that doesnt work.

    Have your husband text the word "stop" to 48369. This should take his number out of the iMessage system.
    Go into your settings under messaging and make sure the box to send as an SMS if iMessage is unavailable is checked.
    Hopefully this will get your messages sending/receiving to each other.
