Hello . Can you help me? I own a laptop and I need to change the hard drive from HDD to SSD. When entering the Bios settings, the advanced settings do not appear. What is the solution, knowing that I tried more than one method, including (tap. A. ctrl F1). Thank you very much .

Hi:

Your notebook only supports 2.5" SATA SSD's and all you should have to do is to install Windows on the 2.5" SSD and it should work automatically.

There is no need to go into the BIOS for anything.

Thank you for the answer,

but when you start the windows installation process, it cannot find the hard drive

You're very welcome.

Some of those old Pavilion g-series notebooks are very particular about what brand SSD you install.

A lot of them have issues with Samsung SSD's for example.

What brand and model SSD did you install?

Does the drive show up in the BIOS?

What model processor does your notebook have?

There are no

The problem was solved by entering cmd, formatting the hard drive through it, and choosing the NTFS format. Thank you very much
