HP Recommended
Product: Notebook Model 17-cn1053cl
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

I'm trying to upgrade an HP Notebook 17-cn1053cl (Product Number 4S324UA#ABA) with a solid state drive.  It has a 5400 spindle drive and is really slow.  This is something I've done many times before, so I'm comfortable doing it.  However, each of 3 SSD's are not recognized by the computer.  They don't show up in the BIOS.  And on a fresh load of Windows, they don't appear on the list of target drives during the installation.  The original works fine time and again.  All 3 of the SSD's work properly in another computer or external enclosure.  Is there something about these newer machines that needs to be adjusted to put in a new hard drive?  Maybe a new security feature that needs to be adjusted in the BIOS?  Maybe a BIOS update?  The BIOS Revision is F.11 if that helps.  The Firmware Revision Serial Number is [Personal Information Removed].

 

Thanks in advance for anything that might help,

 

Wilbur
