Product: HP ENVY dv6-7331sa
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

The HDD in my laptop is a 5200 SATA. Is it possible to replace this with a SSD drive?

 

Also the CPU is a 3610HQ 2.3 processor, is it possible to replace this with a faster processor?

 

many thanks 

 

Russ

Hi Russ,

The most "powerfull" CPU is

Intel Quad Core i7-3840QM 2.80-GHz processor

You can see on page 88 of the service manual.

 

Yes, you can replace the 2.5" HDD with a 2.5" SATA3 SSD of your desired brand and capacity

Example:

https://www.amazon.com/Blue-NAND-500GB-SSD-WDS500G2B0A/dp/B073SBZ8YH/ref=sr_1_13?keywords=mx500+500g...
