You are a lifesaver, my friend. I have an HP 17-by0061st which is nearly identical. I flipped it over hoping to find a convenient panel like on the Toshibas where you remove a panel and see the hard drive and another panel that you remove and you see the memory. No such luck with the HP. But with the help of your video I was able to replace the hard drive and add RAM.

Thank you, not hard but bit intimidating when you've never done anything like this. With your tool recommendations and walk thru I had no problem replacing ssd and upgrading memory. Thank You

Great video. Just what I needed. Thank you

Thanks for the helpful walkthrough!

Hi Dale. Thank you so much advising me today on M.2 SSD drives. I really appreciate your help.

Thanx for the video Dale. Those 17" laptops are getting harder to find these days. Pity that HP puts screws under the rubber feet.

Thanks and I loved doing this type of replacement and repair when I was younger. Now, I just go and have it repaired or buy a new one.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Helped a bunch 🙂

Everything went perfectly! Thank you!!

Great video Dale!

Thank you very much, Mr Cadillac, sir!

Thanks you sir. You made me know that this is possible. I plan to upgrade my HDD to SSD soon. Thanks once again.

Very very good video! It helps me a lot. Thanks you! Its the same steps for a 17-by0002ca

Thanks for this video. I am currently researching how much it would cost to have someone do this (some charge by the hour) and this video was very informative. My own hp has gotten slower and doesn't perform that well when gaming.

Nice job.

Thanks for the bottom panel removal service procedure. I ended up cutting the long rubber feet where the screws are. These rubber feet are probably unavailable or prohibitively expensive.

Thank you sir.

Thanks Dale

This is great. Have you ever installed an M.2 into an adaptor as an SSD for a laptop?

THANK YOU !! I need to do this to my laptop but had NO idea..Chinese to me . Now I know should I close programs before?

Great video as always bud!! I did the same thing for my HP after watching one of your older videos. Is it possible to upgrade the wifi card? Thanks

Usually they can be upgraded. Some laptops might have just one antenna cable. I say cable because they are thin coaxial cables. They look like wires but they are not. An antenna can be added but it might not be something that you want to do yourself. They are inside the screen bezels often and you could damage the display if your are not careful.

Hello Dale, I purchased a couple of HP SSD’s to install in my Model: dv7 - 2277cl laptop. Acronis shows a successful clone but when I swap the drives out it says Preparing Automatic Repair" and goes nowhere. I also picked up 16GB of Crucial memory for it and it won’t boot with it installed. Is this thing just too old to upgrade? Love your videos👍 Was hoping this might be an economical way to remedy the S.M.A.R.T error I’ve be getting.

Good video; very descriptive. Also there's other free cloning apps you could use (i.e. Aomei Backupper, Macrium Reflect, EaseUS). However, free cloning apps don't always make it easy to clone MBR to GPT format. You mentioned Acronis, which is also my go-to cloning app. Do you use a Linux OS for your Cloning Station?

Hey thanks. Actually we use windows 7. Never failed us yet. 90 percent of the clones are done outside windows environment. Very fast with Acronis.

Thank you for the video. I have a year old hp 17t by400 that is very slow and hp did not want to cover it under warranty 5 months after purchase. I have a lower model (17t by300) as well that is much faster than this one with the same amount of memory etc. So I want to upgrade 1TB 5400 rpm SATA HDD to a SSD. What is compatible for my laptop? It is a intel core i7 (4.7 GH)

Do you do warranty work for these machines Dale

Just upgraded my Ideapad Touch U430 last night. With a new Ssd, and voice recognition turned off, boot time went from almost 10 minutes to about 1 minute!

Im curious to see that cloning machine

Can we see your cloning station setup please?

I'm stumped just in ordering the part I need. Geek Squad said I should order a 1 BT Digital Hard drive to replace the mechanical one currently in my HP Pavilion 17-CN0023DX Model 668S3UA and I can't figure out which one to buy. Can you help on this issue?

So what you show me on this video opening screws of laptop?

Mac Book Or Windows Laptop Which is good when it comes to working flow and strongest

How do I know which SSD I can use to upgrade? I’ve got a DV7-4070 with Windows 7.

Sorry for bothering but for this laptop. I want to replace HDD with a new SSD. Can I use M2 SSD or I need a 2.5" Sata SSD

Hi ! I have Dell Vastro laptop 3578 which comes with this Specifications : CPU : Intel Core i3 7020U RAM : 8GB RAM ( Upgraded from the Exclusive store 4GB TO 8GB 4*2 ) SSD : 256GB. ( Upgraded from the Exclusive store ) HDD : 1TB Toshiba. But the question is the working good but when the system boots up after 15 to 20 mins the system totally laggy I mean if I do documentation then is too lag. I format the windows the 5 times but the issue is same to no changes. I also complain in the Dell but from the company no issue solved so I found your channel as a randomly I searching for the issue your video comes in the suggestions I open I watched this video that's I asked !

I had a HP laptop with a broken screen and yes, there is a video here--not one of Dale's--showing how to replace the screen. It is very complicated, much more difficult than replacing the hard drive or memory, and way out of my comfort zone. I had a professional do it for me.

what size is that hard drive? do you have a video how you clone that hard drive?

@StarvedoutentHoodvlogs-kb7no

2.5 SSD

👍👍🎁🎁

I would have installed an NvME SSD in the M.2 socket on the motherboard at the right. Then you could have cloned to the new NvME SSD in situ. After cloning and a successful boot, the old drive could have been reformatted and used for additional data storage. No need to buy an SATA SSD and scrap the HDD.

I discovered such a provision on my hp 15daxxx laptop and I'm doing the same. Installing 250gb Nvme ssd which will house the operating system while the existing 500gb hdd becomes storage.

@@andresantoso4835 I have another computer. Exactly what do I need to do?

I am scared to carry out the replacement. First, my notebook is a dog to open. secondly, I have to find out how to clone the disc.

They should have went with the M.2 option. Way faster than a SSD. I put one in my PS5. Sooooo much faster now!

This whole process seems overly convoluted, opening my "Framework 13" laptop takes me less than a minute! On a Framework 13, the top-cover is held in place with 5 easy accessible (captive) screws on the bottom. After loosing the screws, a spring pushes up one corner of the top-cover. The top-cover is further held in place by magnets, instead of those stupid plastic clips... Framework truly build a device, from the standpoint of repair-ability!

NO Acronis free will NOT make a bootable clone !!! NO 'free" cloning software will !!! I've tried them all multiple times with supplied cloning software from WD, Crucial, and Kingston !!!
