Hello,
Please forgive me for asking what is probably a very simple question.
My current envy 13 notebook is on a 45W adapter. I purchased a second adapter which is on 65W. My new adapter states output 19V=3.33A while my current adapter is on 19.5V = 2.31A. I want to make sure the 63W adapter will not damage my laptop since it is larger then what is indicated on the laptop label.
The old adapter has the following information on the label:
Input: 100-240V 1.4
50/60 Hz
Output: 19.5V=2.31A
The new adapter has the following information on the label:
Input: 100-240V~1.5A
50/60Hz
Output: 19.5V=3.33A
Any responses to let me know if I can use the 65W adapter without damaging my laptop would be very much appreciated!
Thank you.

Is the new one a OEM HP unit? Having more Amps won't hurt it - it's when the Volts/Amps are less listed that you will have power on problem or charging problems.

BTW, Millions of folks have gone back from Win10 to their prior O/S -- something you don't hear about from MS. by WAWood but ALL to TRUE
