Install SSD to HP pavillonn dv5 1113el

[k-demon]

Hello,
I would like to install an SSD model Samsung MZ-76E250B SSD Internal Unit 860 EVO, 250 GB, 2.5 "SATA III on my laptop.
I would like to know if it is compatible and what are the possible operations to do.
Is the BIOS compatible?
I have read that there could be problems if there is not the AHCI option and in the BIOS of my computer that option is not available.
Can I proceed anyway?
Cloning with Macrium Reflect software all the old hard disk will the SSD work properly?

Thanks for the answers!

Welcome to HP Forums,

This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips,

Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you out 🙂

I see you need help in upgrading the SSD, on HP Pavilion dv5-1015ea Entertainment Notebook PC. Don't worry as I have a few suggestions which should help you.

NOTE: If your computer includes a solid-state drive (SSD), you may not have a recovery partition. You will not be able to recover using this procedure. Recovery discs have been included for computers that do not have a partition. Use these discs to recover your operating system and software.

Product description :

• Hard drives Support all Serial ATA (SATA) 9.5-mm,
• 2.5-inch hard drives
• Supports up to 2 hard drives 
• Support for Accelerometer hard
• drive protection
• Support for solid-state drive (SSD) on
• dual hard drive configurations, with SSD
• set as the primary drive

Next thing, I would suggest here is to go through the Maintenance and Service guide of your HP notebook.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.

Thanks for the reply,
I apologize for my English from Google translate!
Maybe I did not explain well! The situation is this:
I have my laptop with an HHD on which I installed Windows 7 and Linux Mint in dual boot. Completing the disk there is a third data-only partition and an old recovery partition left over from when there was only Windows Vista.
I'm not interested in recovery. Instead I would like to clone Windows 7, Linux Mint and if possible also the data partition and transfer everything to a new SSD.
I wonder if this can involve risks or problems or if you do the cloning simply insert the SSD instead of the old HHD!

Grazie per la risposta,
mi scuso per il mio inglese da Google translate!
Forse non mi sono spiegato bene!La situazione è questa:
Ho il mio portatile con un HHD su cui ho installato Windows 7 e Linux Mint in dual boot. A completare il disco vi è una terza partizione di soli dati ed una vecchia partizione di recovery rimasta da quando un tempo c'era solo Windows Vista.
Della recovery non mi interessa. Invece vorrei clonare Windows 7, Linux Mint e se possibile anche la partizione dati e trasferire tutto su un nuovo SSD.
Mi chiedo se questo possa comportare dei rischi o problemi o se fatto la clonazione basta inserire semplicemente l'SSD al posto del vecchio HHD!
