Product: 640 g2 pro
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

I have a HP 640 G2 PRO notebook and I want to upgrade it to an SSD.  Is there a bios setting I need to configure it too?  I know on some machines they require a bios setting of ACHI instead of IDE... I cannot seem to find any setting in the bios that allows me to select ACHI or IDE. So will it work with an SSD without the need to make changes in the BIOS config screen?

Thank you,

Will

Hi, Will:

 

The BIOS drive controller setting in your notebook is automatically set to AHCI and cannot be changed.
