How to install windows 8/10 on HP ENVY TouchSmart 17t-j000 Quad Edition correctly? Need to install on SSD or HDD? How to use these two disks? Thanks.

Hi

I am uncertain as to what/which 2 disks you are referring.

Is the question is about having the SSD as the Primary with Windows 8 installed, and the HDD as a data drive??

I am not sure how to do it.
How correct? I have 24 GB SSD disk.

Sorry I don't understand enough about your situation.

First off, according to the Service Manual I could find for your model of laptop, there is only room for ONE drive.  So, you would have to choose between an SSD or an HDD -- but not both.

Second, your model PC came preinstalled with Win8, and I don't believe that is available anywhere for download anymore, including Microsoft.  And, without Windows install media, you are going to have a very difficult time installing it on an SSD.

Third, while there is nothing preventing you from forcing an installation of Win10 on your PC, there do not appear to be any HP Win10 drivers for your model, only Win8.  So, I would recommend against forcing Win10 onto your PC.
