[@AmirHassan-nw2hk]

This is informative, thanks. Now I need to check where is the ssd slot and whats a compatible slot

[@remorse7405]

how can u disassemble this unit and clean the fan?

[@einunbekannter3970]

thank you for the product key

[@texasjapan4071]

Compared to a late-2013 iMac (21 inch), this is so comically easy to change these components. I wish Apple would trend away from being hostile to consumers upgrading their hardware. Then again, you are spending too much on an Apple computer to begin with. Great video!

[@danc2014]

HP stopped the easy open door design on the next model.

[@wedwardes]

@@danc2014 Ah I have the 820 G1. Very impressive easy opening. I see the G2 is the same easy slide out opening as the G1. The G4 has 6 screws. Not sure about the G3.

[@sofianebenzaza]

great and simple video!!

Hi can I use Samsung SSD PM991 M.2 2242 42mm PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe MZALQ256HAJD MZ-ALQ2560 Solid State Drive On Hp Elitebook 840 G2 core i7 5600U 2.6 GHz And which capacity it will fit 512 GB or 256 GB ??

[@SollaxxScape]

Is it same with the g1?

[@adedamolakoko399]

Increase vram on hp 820 G2 core i7 16gb ram. Help my vram is stuck in 512 as highest

How do you replace touch pad?

[@Lunidaco]

Can i Upgrade my HP Elitebook 850 G2 with a 16gb kit from HyperX HX316LS9IBK2/16 Impact Arbeitsspeicher, DDR3L 16GB (Kit 2x8), 1600MHz, CL9, SODIMM 1,35V or should i buy just a 4gb ram stick?

[@pavankiran1843]

Can you please tell the hard disk model I can order online

[@tejasvlogs_]

Hey I have a elitebook G2... What's the max storage it can handle? Like I'm planning for a 2Tb hard drive, any idea if it supports a 2Tb internal hard drive?

[@fritzleelegaspi5731]

Tejas Sheshadri i think yes just buy the 2.5 inches size or laptop size

[@nagasaipurvaz4251]

yes you can upgrade to 2 tb hard drive but can only ram upto 16 gb

[@awnisubhi6870]

great and simple video....thanks

my laptop is 840 g2 this laptop not working taspad scorlling.....how to solve this problrm pleass help me

[@arhamshorts4155]

Sir in this laptop wwan card is haven or not

[@joesphbaumgardner4579]

I have the HP Elitebook 840 G2. Before I upgrade I wanted to ask for those that know. Does this laptop support a *NVME m.2* card? All I find is conflict in a bunch of yes and good few no in my research. Is the card slot pin config plug and play. Meaning a NVME m.2 card slides right in fine? Last- if the laptop supports such anyone know what number card I need? Meaning size that mounts where screw goes. Appears to me that slot is for a smaller card vs the long one correct? or my only option is- m.2 2240 which is not NVME right?

[@danc2014]

I have read this early G model needs a special NVME card and the BIOS can only have a drive or NVME Thus not a common addition. Later G models can have both and M2 versions. The easy open door was a great design but then HP stopped it

[@sugarkup6005]

Thank you for the esay tutorial !! Could you send a link of them and also are they 8gb, 12 or 32? Thank you 😊

[@NathanielLUL]

hp elitebook g2 only supports up to 16gb ram, also u need the same size of ram like 2x2gb 2x4gb 2x8gb ram which is kinda sad that u gonna throw away 2 4gb rams when upgrading lol

[@varunmr3488]

Cab Hard disk be upgraded to 1tb HDD ? send the amazon link for 1tbHDD?

[@davidecerizza6984]

yes

[@israelmartinez2835]

Can I just update the ram and not the hard drive? or the hard drive needs to be upgraded as well?

[@KimBertilsson]

Israel Martinez you can upgrade anyone of them, no need to do both :).

[@alihasnain8800]

can you upgrade its graphics card for gaming or editing purposes...?

[@KimBertilsson]

Nope not possible, graphics card is integrated :)

[@SimonSeabridgeSnookerCoaching]

I have an HP elitebook 840 but how can I tell which generation it is?

[@KimBertilsson]

Should say on the underside of the laptop, like EliteBook 840 G3

[@SimonSeabridgeSnookerCoaching]

I wish it did. It just says 840. Doesn't look like it has backlit keys or a webcam. Just blanked out where the webcam would be. Or does it actually still have one?

[@KimBertilsson]

Har du tell but if there is no G2 etc it is probably a G1

[@williamchapman2371]

I was expecting you to upgrade the M.2 SSD slot too. That is why I watched your video because it said how to upgrade Elitebook 840 G2. It was not a complete upgrade. by the way, thanks for the windows product key.

[@Dillinger86]

I'm looking for that video too lol

[@flippy9133]

what you mean you just plug it in, there are massive letters that say SSD

[@Vinit_D_YT]

dude like what? this is a very tight budget laptop why in the world would somone give you a M.2 slot in it?

[@flippy9133]

@@Vinit_D_YT it has one tho

[@wedwardes]

Just slide it in. As easy as RAM.

[@xmachi123]

Does a LTE SIM tray exist in g2 model?

[@sivadasm2233]

Is it possible to upgrade with DDR4 into 840 G2 ?

[@whyisthishandletaken.]

Nope

[@mysh24]

I'm afraid it's not possible since they have different pin connectors. Although don't worry since ddr3 won't be a bottleneck. 16gb of ddr3 is closely just as fast as 16 ddr4.

[@komlar4080]

Hi, I have an elitebook 820 g2, I would like to upgrade the RAM, I have 1x8gb, so can I put another 8gb ram in the laptop or it's too much ?

[@dannydanko4627]

A little late to reply but for anyone else wondering, yes you can. It will actually boost performance a little(albeit probably not noticable) because the ram will be running at full speed and not half, dual channel memory needs dual sticks to run at full speed. Obviously having 16gb vs 8gbs is nice to.

[@osheathedj]

2 sticks is crucial if you game. The onboard video takes full advantage of the dual channel, and boosts graphics performance by about 10-15%, which is a lot when you are squeezing everything you can out of these.

[@fazertime2033]

@@osheathedj with a laptop like this you won't notice a difference since the onboard gpu will bottleneck you anyhow.

[@osheathedj]

@@fazertime2033 false. The ram is lifting the bottleneck by helping the weakest component. You absolutely feel it, it's a 10-15% boost. Lmao

[@fazertime2033]

@@osheathedj ok then on a laptop like this we might go from 10 to 11 fps on average. Believe me, I have this laptop, it's useless for anything else than Crossy road and maybe a little Minecraft.

my hp elitebook 840 g2 i5 5th generation one usb port working after windows shutdown . How to solved my problem please help.

[@samuelcarlos8465]

Can it support 2 ram cards of 16 GB

[@NathanielLUL]

late reply but the max compatible ram is 16

[@HeresYourBoy]

why do we need to take out the battery?

[@musicfreeker]

To precaution sometimes can some part can be short after we touch them so it's better off without battery

[@floatinginthee1810]

can you upgrade the CPU?

[@KimBertilsson]

FloatingInThee I dont know to be honest, might be soldered on to the mother board. Many modern laptop are designed that way unfortunatly.

[@sukmablack]

for anyone asking how to put graphics card. its very simple, just put your graphics card on a pcie express slot, secure it, turn on your pc, install driver. enjoy. and oh, for this laptop. you can't

[@siamkhan7770]

how to install m.2 ssd this device?

[@KimBertilsson]

You can see there is a space where it says SSD on the video, not sure a m.2 fits but certainly a ssd will fit that slot.

[@Sanatan_humanity]

NICE VIDEO, WAS THINKING FOR LONG TO CHAGE HDD TO SSD AND YOU MADE IT SIMPLE NOW , HOW DID YOU CLONE YOUR HDD

[@KimBertilsson]

Never did any cloning, fresh reinstall was done :)

[@danc2014]

If you change to a SSD type drive , they come with a clone software. or use a free one. you will need a USB to SATA box.

[@BadSector]

you should have covered your Windows key
