HP All in One hard drive failure and replacement with a fast SSD

[@alan_wood]

Thanks for the help. Probably the worst computer I've had to work on; I couldn't believe the amount of force needed to remove the screen.

The best footage on how to replace a drive I've seen on KZbin so far!!

[@fernandobeghean6409]

True😊

I just upgraded the HD on my wife's HP All-In-One using this video. Really, really appreciate your posting this. It runs vastly better on an SSD.

Great video. Couldn't have gotten the screen out without breaking it if I hadn't watched your video. Thanks a bunch!

[@chocolate_squiggle]

Thanks for your expert demonstration. Was just given a 24-cxxxx model for an elderly parent which looks the same design - Need to change the dead slow and constantly churning HDD to SSD. You're right it's much trickier than getting into the HP Pro/Elite AiO that I chose for my sister last year. Seeing this is 3.5" drive has scuppered my plans though.. I've just moved house and I'm sure I probably threw away my 2.5 to 3.5 adaptors that had been lying around for nearly a decade. I haven't used a 3.5" or a desktop in all that time. Sigh...murphy's law ain't it? I suppose I'll have to order something off the local fleabay equivalent and pay the postage and wait a week or so. Thanks again thought great video!

Thank You. After 100s videos finally found one that actually works.

I have a hp all in one model number 24-g032 with a bad hard drive will this ssd work in my computer? Your explanation was excellent and easy to follow .

[@thomasslone1964]

Watch out so you don't scrape the sides of the screen and make foam go between the layers, i just spent a half hour taking mine back apart and using a needle to pull them out, the touch layer isn't well attached to the lcd so you can end up pulling parts of it free and the foam falls in making spots on your screen

[@doctorpc4x4]

good and exact video, just it reinforces why I hate working on consumer equipment

[@oshalominsa7839]

I bought one for my mom a few months ago and it's already 100% disk usage despite so little use. I assume it's because of that throw-away quality HDD, so I was going to replace it with a new one. Hopefully this video helps when the HDD comes in.

Bad idea, putting a HD in there, go with an SSD, it will be night and day faster.

[@kylepatton7289]

Thorough tutorial. Thank you very much sir.

[@jacobfischer9065]

I ordered these items to give it a shot. Thank you!

[@carmengonzalez3018]

Finally I did everything but I don’t have usb for drivers of hp. What can I do is the only computer I have apart from iPad. Any suggestions

[@donaldchilders6150]

I have a HP all in one with a bad hard drive. The model number is 24-g032 will the ssd from WD also work with this machine. Your explanation was so very well done that I now believe I can do this. Thanks

[@FrimleyComputing]

Hi Don, Thanks for your message - I've replied to your email - hope it all goes OK. 😀

[@dannygodeep]

where did you get the adapter to put the new smaller drive into the cage?

[@gca666]

I need to remove an 512gb SAMSUNG SSD 850 Pro from an old laptop to install it on AIO like the one that you shown. Is it needed to pay attention to UEFI or Legacy BIOS definitions for the SSD to be recognized by the AIO? Or it is just plug and play?

[@ptbronco03]

Do you know of a wall mount bracket for that computer?

[@crankyticket6061]

Very helpful. Thanks for posting

[@broderickharley8547]

What is ssd converter called on Amazon

[@julianatalledo5811]

I have an Hp envy 20 all in one pc 500gb hdd. It runs so slow. I am updating the ram but I want to upgrade to an SSD as well. Mine also comes with a 16gb msata catching ssd. Would I have to do this as well? Change the bios set up so it doesn't use the 16gb msata ?

[@jwilkinson341]

I was just helping with one of these and didn't realize it had a cache drive only noticed the 1 BT it was very slow, she had lots of licensed Apps the plan was to clone the drive with an SSD. looks like I would have to do a clean install on top of that finicky to take apart so I will pass its a bigger job than she is prepared to pay I always said HP is the worse of the worse this confirms it, why not just use a bigger M2 I guess I could still clone it and keep the M2 caching but it might scupper the raid being a different drive in fact I know it would

I have hp 23-q170na all in One PC ,intel core i7, 8GB RAM 2TB,23 inch Hard drive has now failed and wish to fix by fitting ssd drive. Can anyone advise what ssd drive would fit? Motherboard was fix or replaced by a company couple years ago. Thanks for any prompt help

[@Kamaria.]

Doing this today. Wish me luck!

[@yusifpeace3366]

Amazing video thank you

[@RayRaptor21]

Excellent video..

[@yusifpeace3366]

Hi, what happen after installing the new ssd drive if i don't change setting in bios can I install the new windows and start using the computer?

[@FrimleyComputing]

If you're just cloning the old drive to a new SSD then you shouldn't need to make any changes to the BIOS. I always go into the "Fix Windows Boot" option within Macrium Reflect and recreate the drive boot manager though just to be certain that it boots without any issues.

[@yusifpeace3366]

@@FrimleyComputing Thank you, my plan is just to remove hhd and replace it with new ssd drive and boot window 10 with usb ist going to work without going into bios please

[@zapstreamstv1439]

[@markhail5994]

Good job thanks

[@globbster413]

my hard drive doesnt slide out like yours does, even though ive unscrewed everything, it wont budge like i missed a screw.... this is by far the worst PC ive had to work on, I wish the general public would stop buying devices made to die and then asking someone to fix it....

[@keimult]

i have the same pc but my pc has amd stuff

[@georgeogrady9205]

Ram 4200s will fit in

Mine is an older all in one...mine definitely didn't come with a 1TB HDD I think it only has 500gb storage, got a 2 TB SSD that I can put into a USB to expand the storage. My computer just threw up the no hard drive disc detected and fails to boot up...I'm not a computer guy by any means, so I'm getting pretty pissed...kinda like a monkey on a typewriter expecting shakesperian playwriting...I'm a proficient mechanic but this tech s%$# is like trying to ready Chinese...idk what I'm looking at but I'll figure it out...also your all in one looks a bit thinner than mine and has a wider border around the screen, I do know that I been warned not to pry on the sides or I will Crack the screen and there's not a replacement one to fix it...

[@bradsmith1314]

this model pc is dumb worse design ever!
