SSD and RAM upgrade on an HP All in One model# 23-q120

[@teslanikola7000]

I cringe every time he drags the monitor across the table. All I can visualize is scratched glass. Well done video. TY

[@susanwatkins5025]

Thank you for sharing this video. I have the same model computer and was able to clone my hard drive to the new SSD, change out the drive and add 8GB of memory. Everything went great thanks to your video!!

[@vidulgoenka9670]

That screen must scratches with all the shifting

[@PieceOfThePieWithTy]

Two questions do you think a beginner can do this and is it cheaper this way? I believe my all in one computer has the same specs. Debating if I should spend $700 for a new laptop or not 🤔

[@MichaelTheComputerGuy]

What CPU is in the computer?

[@PieceOfThePieWithTy]

@@MichaelTheComputerGuy Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU G3260T @ 2.90Hz RAM : 4.00

[@MichaelTheComputerGuy]

@@PieceOfThePieWithTy I'd say it's worth spending the money. You can learn how to do it by watching this video and others on KZbin.

[@FeenixT]

I used Velcro tape to hold an ssd in place on one of these cages. Worked perfectly

[@danjo1967]

or DS tape

[@FeenixT]

Your Mom Yes. An SSD weighs hardly anything. I use Velcro and double sided tape on a lot of things. Never had an issue

[@fixer68000]

It's good technic.

[@ntt2k]

The heat generated from the SSD didn't boil off the glue from the velcro? I may use this strategy otherwise. I guess there's no way to tell unless you open up your computer again

[@FeenixT]

@@ntt2k I’ve never had a 2.5” SSD generate much heat-at least not enough to melt glue.

[@nleelloyd]

Outstanding video. Thank you so much. I just upgraded my machine with more memory and SSD and it is day and night. I can't thank you enough. I was considering buying a new machine, but this brought this one back to life and saved a bunch of money in the process.

[@MichaelTheComputerGuy]

If it has an available place to add a drive you can do that, then clone to it. You'll need to remove the existing drive after the clone. You can erase it and put it back after you verify the clone to the new drive functions.

[@thomassmith3442]

Very well done would recommend this video to anyone upgrading their ALL-IN-ONE

[@b3as_t]

Sorry but this all in one was absolutely terrible, the hard drive ruins any performance it has. My one which is a few years old now, takes about 15 minutes to boot up. It's beyond shocking.

[@pattheitguy]

[@zandorachan]

Awesome video, very helpful! I just did one yesterday for a friend using this tut. 1) In case anyone has the Macrium "Incompatible Disk Selected" error, try a different USB port or try using a powered SATA cable, worked for me. 2) If you have the model number HP All-in-One 24-f0047c (unit base looks like two coathangers,) the screws are under the white rubber covers under the speakers. Loosen the 2 captive screws and remove the base. Pry off the small center plastic rectangular grill. Remove the 3 screws under that grill, and then you will be able to carefully pry off the front speaker grill. Remove 5 more screws which were under there (the manual I found only shows 4 screws but there was 1 more holding it back) and gently lift the touchscreen up like the hood of a car. You'll have to wiggle it a bit to get all the plastic tabs undone without pulling the video cable out. I couldn't get the drive holder to line up with a screw, so I had to hammer flat one of the die-cut indented screw tabs which held the old drive; then the SSD could align flush and I could get a screw in place to hold it.

OMG Michael, just came here to say THANK YOU for this awesome video...I had taken over my wife's All-In-One HP, because it had become a dog! Slow-AF! I only used it to check email and could not believe how SLOOOOW this thing was...After watching your video, I hit Amazon, ordered a 1TB ADATA SSD ($95) and SATA to USB 3 cable ($7)...followed your steps to a T, and now this i7 Intel, 8 GB RAM and 1TB ADATA machine screams! It is so fast at boot, that by the time I count to 3, we are on the home screen! WOW! FREAKING AMAZING and quiet!

[@bmgreet1755]

Hi Micheal. I have the hp envy recline . I will upgrade ram and change to ssd as shown. One question , This model has the 16gb ssd card that works between the ram and hard drive to speed up common file recovery. Should I leave this in place or just remove it. If I remove it will it effect running. Regards from NZ

[@user-qv7rw7dq1d]

Glad I stumbled on your video, 8 have a old all in one sitting around getting dust, can I put a m.2 in instead of a SSD? Either way think can bring out of mothball and give to someone.

[@MichaelTheComputerGuy]

They might not have m.2 slots. m.2 didn't really take off until around 2019. If they have hard drives in them right now upgrading at a 2.5" SSD would be worth it.

[@Alycanj]

[@cpome7]

Sir, thank you so much for this video. Brilliant.

[@stephenhall3515]

Untidy bench and no protection for the screen. Messy use of Reflect without full explanation. Using a screw to hold the SSD by friction could put much pressure on the drive and NAND inside whereas Velcro is a good solution for machines used indoors. OR one can use pieces of insulated wire to make a cradle through the holes in the caddy. This allows accurate placing and can also absorb shock if the machine is dropped. Your mention of possibly using DDR4 RAM was wrong as the slots are specifically DDR3 and DDR4 would not fit. No anti-static precautions were taken when handling RAM. However, your discovery of the bottom screws being retaining levers would have stumped a lot of people and your spudger use was a lesson in accurate care. This tutorial will have helped very many people.

[@volunteernation6863]

Are we not going to talk about how he used 2 different types of ram to upgrade? I've always thought that most likely wouldn't work. Is it different with sodimm ram?

[@Alwayswatching44667]

It depends on the two sticks together if they are compatible or not, it may work.

Thinking of putting a ssd caddy to this pc for extra ssd

[@derabi]

Thanks, Michael. I plan to replace the failing 1TB HDD (w/ SATA interface, form factor 3.5) in my HP Pavilion all-in-one 23-q114 with a 512 GB SSD. What should be the specification of the SSD (form factor, size, location of the power and data connections, etc.) be to ensure good fit and compatibility with my computer? Because I will not be able to pre-install Windows on the SSD from the failing HDD, do you have a reference or a youtube video on how to install the operating system from a copy on a USB drive after installing the SSD? Thanks

[@MichaelTheComputerGuy]

Just get a 2.5" sata ssd. You can make it fit into the 3.5" spot.

[@zandorachan]

The new, smaller SSD will be swimming in a huge bay of empty space, but you can use elec tape, velcro, or as Michael does in the video, an extra screw, to hold it firmly in place. Careful hot glue gun might even do it. Additionally, I think for 23q, it might help to see this video for how to open the case kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWG0nZqanMxgrtk After that you can freshly install Windows from a USB stick: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6O2hKWilLWfhNk

She refuses to upgrade fully to a new system, so I'm trying to patch it and give it another breath. Thanks

[@MichaelTheComputerGuy]

Any 2.5" solid state drive will work. If you get yourself a Samsung solid state drive and a 2.5" SATA to USB adapter cable you can connect the new drive to the computer and in Windows, install the Samsung magician software which has the migration software built into it. You would clone the current drive to the new solid state drive, shut the computer down and swap the old drive out for the new one.

[@legendarytronic7774]

Soo would I be able to do all of these steps on my HP Omni100 desktop computer?

[@thankyouverymochi]

usually the answer is yes. every harddrive could be upgraded into ssd. on the cpu part, you had to install a cpu-z on your computer to know if your cpu is soldered or not. the soldered one is harder to replace (marked as 'BGA'), and the unsoldered one is easy to replace (marked as 'PGA' if I'm not mistaken).

The proper solution for installing a 2.5" drive to a 3.5" caddy, would be an adapter. They are fairly cheap to get and would have been a better solution than one screw. Other than that, very informative video, thanks!

Your right Timothy Baxter, he Should have, It's clear he doesn't really know what he's doing, He's not a Cary Holzman. lol He knows a little about the software and that's all he comes up short on that to. Putting that one screw in one place is not Secure Enough. Also putting the face of that computer on his table without a cloth in between is not a great idea either, it could scratch up the Finish of the computer as well as scratch the screen it could be Pebbles underneath. And he has clients, really. He also didn't service the fan, clear out the dust, Sorry, Cooper, I can't give you my Vote, lol, and you didn't check the CPU to put fresh cooling goop on the plate. General maintenance is also a part of the other things that you have to do first, installing a new hard drive, upgrading the DDR memory, and cleaning out the computer. Now it's going to have to be re-open up again for overheating problems inside the computer. Truly a backyard mechanic.

Replacing the ram or at least reseating it would be a good 1st step. Maybe try one stick of ram at a time. If it asks for an os after the hp logo you can try installing Windows

[@alm7008]

Hi again. Also my hard drive has packed up so would like to change it to an ssd.. I noticed you replaced a 1tb HD for a 256gb one.. Was their a reason for that

[@MichaelTheComputerGuy]

Most people don't need more than a 256 gigabyte drive. They just don't have that many files they need to store. So why pay for a larger capacity? Occasionally I'll replace a 1 terabyte hard drive with a 1 terabyte SSD because the person needs that much space. I've recently done a few 1 terabyte hard drive to 2tb solid state drive upgrades because the person needed that extra space.

[@chadmorin5657]

I replaced the original and added the exact same ram to the hard drive. Used the clone and put in a WD 500gb ssd and it turned on showing hp then the screen saver as well as the Wi-Fi signal but nothing. Should I have kept the original RAM?

[@MichaelTheComputerGuy]

If it's booting up and giving video the ram is likely ok. It's most likely that the clone failed. Redo the clone with a different software.

Was that buffered or unbuffered memory? I have the same computer with a failing drive. Might as well up grade the memory to.

I've since got a desk pad that has made people a lot more comfortable watching the newer videos. The table is torn up from years of use and it is so torn up because it is very soft. It never scratched anything I put on top of it. It took me a while to realize that just because I know it wasn't a problem it would still bother people to see because they would think it was a problem. So once I figured that out that it's not just my understanding that matters that I have to account for other peoples comfort I got the new desk pad.

[@Gh0st_0723]

Service manual? I only read those after I screw up sir! Lolll

[@KingDavid-D37]

All you have to do is turn the bottom screws and the cover pops loose. You don't have to mess with the stand. Shouldn't you use a washer to keep that screw from falling threw that hole. You don't want the drive flopping around lol

The stand did have to come off. You can see it after I take the back off. There's no way to take it back off without the stand. It maybe true that the stand comes off with the cover on other all-in-one computers but not this one. I don't think a washer was required there. I also didn't use one. I tightened the screw down and I don't see how it could back all the way out I'm not screw hole and become loose in the case.

I have the 19 series and the back cover comes off with the stand intact. It's really nice. Too bad they must not all be like that . The two-screw pop off system is the best I have worked with. @@MichaelTheComputerGuy

what type of ram how big

[@warpspeedpower]

The Adata SU-800 series is a good choice. It has Micron memory and DRAM as well. The lower models don't have DRAM. I find it rather silly that HP don't install a 2.5" mechanical HD. The 1TB to 2TB capacities cost about the same as the 3.5" versions nowadays. The computer would be a lot lighter from the get go and would have a smaller drive cage.

Is it possible to install SSD M.2 on HP 6300 Pro AIO?

[@MichaelTheComputerGuy]

When I did a Google search for HP 6300 pro I found a computer that takes approximately 3rd generation Intel cpus. There were no m.2 options then. If you know the full model number of a computer or especially if you know it's serial number you can look it up on the manufacturer's website and find documentation about what hardware can go in it.
