Restoring and Upgrading 17 inch HP Envy Laptop

Hi Everyone, thank you for 20:23 of your time. In this video I restore and upgrade 17" HP Envy with i7 4700HQ and Nvidia GT740m. This model is one of the last made with Removable/Upgradable CPU, also it's extremely rare to see 4th gen removable CPU.

This is honestly the first/best laptop I ever owned. Bought one new in 2012 after I graduated high school. Watching this makes me miss the heavy/bulky thing. I hate beats, but I remember the speakers being super good for the time.

Hi Andrew (and Cat), THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO. I have two of these exact same laptops, and the problem has been the old HP curse of the "broken left hinge". I have never seen such a great and thorough breakdown of the J020dx... they both work wonderfully; the only problem is when you open them the part where the hinge is, it's broken so it starts to pull apart. And yet they still work perfectly. But now I can do all the wonderful cleaning you have done, to every part I can. That always adds life to a pc. Plus watching how you would not mess with the glue; I know exactly what I have to do to fix those parts. I am so grateful. Thank you for an excellent video tutorial done with patience and lots of love. I will let you know how they come out in a couple of weeks when I fix them. Maybe I'll post a tiny video to show you how they came out. Respect Andrew. And ps, they really are great for anything including gaming. I'm very glad I didn't get rid of them before seeing this video. Extremely helpful. Thanks..Gman

[@thegoodthebadtheugly3321]

This is a top-notch tutorial. Thanks.

[@mcnameeman]

I'm glad I found this video, because I have the exact same laptop and wasn't too sure if it was worth selling it and getting a new one or upgrading it. I think I will do the latter!

[@TheSpotify95]

Nice upgrades :) Personally, with this laptop, there is the option of three drives, so the best option is 1x mSATA SSD (mSATA was accessible when the bottom case was removed), 1x programs SSD, and 1x data HDD (2TB seems the best - or at least 1TB, anyway). Go for 256GB mSATA if you only want one OS, or 512GB mSATA to dual boot, and have the OS'es on the one disk only. That means you can keep the fully working DVD drive - as some people (especially myself) still use DVDs and CDs, it is a shame that modern laptops no longer have DVD drives.

[@DemeDemetre]

well you may use it but 95% of people dont ever use it, or even know their laptop has a dvd cd drive

[@FR4M3Sharma]

@@DemeDemetre Unfortunately.

[@TheSpotify95]

@@FR4M3Sharma Unfortunately indeed! A lot of modern day laptops, and even modern desktops, do not have DVD drive built into them, so the ones that have the DVD drive as an option are more worth buying to those who still use physical media. My next PC, I have to spend £130 on a case because it is one of the only ones to support DVD drive, if I didn't care about the DVD drive then my case could probably cost about £50 or £60.

[@TheSpotify95]

Edit... I managed to get PC Case, "Phanteks Enthoo Pro", for just under £110. This is almost double price of normal case, but I keep DVD-ROM or even Blu-Ray ROM support.

[@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew]

Thank you bro :D

[@JustOneGuy]

Hey Andrew, since a lot of these laptops you use still use Kepler and Nvidia stopped support there is a work around to install latest drivers regardless and get better optimized performance! I made a video on it but you also can just follow the link and do it yourself! Keep up the good work, you are super enjoyable to watch.
