What is the model number for product 5RJ34AV_1 w i78565U UHD 620?

Hello Community 🙂

I have just ordered a 5RJ34AV_1 and am waiting for it to arrive.

In the attempt to better understand the upgrade options for this notebook, it has become obvious that I need the actual model number vs the product number "5RJ34AV_1" .

I think this model may be 15t-cs200 but doesnt seem to quite match.

Anyway, would love the definitive model number so I can ask more intelligent questions.  I am looking to replace my Optane memory with hopefully a Samsung 1GB EVO 970 NVMe SSD. Wanting confirmation that the BIOS could recognize this as a bootable device and if so, what steps are required.

Thanks

Hi,

The model is 15t-cs200 CTO

Since it is a CTO machine the actual specs depend on how you ordered it (customer configurable)

Yes, you can remove the Intel Optane module and install a 1TB (not 1GB) M2 Samsung 970 Evo SSD. Then reinstall the OS on the SSD.

Max RAM is going to be 32GB of DDR4 2400MHz (2x16GB) even if service manual mentions 16GB.

Thanks Iomare for the fast and helpful reply!

One of the support articles I saw here mentions using the Microsoft Windows Media Creation Tool but it talks about removing all partitions on the destination SSD drive. 

Since I don’t have my new laptop yet but have owned other HP laptops, I believe there are usually multiple partitions on the boot drive for diags,etc. Do I need to create those partitions on the new SSD drive first?

Is there a different tool you’d recommend that would more completely replicate my original boot drive content?

Any tricks to ensure the BIOS will see the SSD as bootable?

Thanks again for your help.

Hi Joel,

The drive will be seen in BIOS as it is a new modern PC and there should be no problem.

Before removing the Intel Optane module you should disable it in the Intel Rapid Storage Technology application in BIOS.

You can create a drive with the exact configuration of your PC by using HP cloud recovery

You could also (once you have disabled Optane) migrate an image from the HDD to the SSD using software such as Samsung Migration software which will clone the hard drive to the SSD.

Personally, I just perform a clean install with Microsoft media and then can install HP support assistant and HP hardware diagnostics.

Hope it helps,

David
