In this video, I show you how to take apart the HP 15 CS series laptop, open the housing, swap out the HDD hard disk drive for a SSD solid state drive to make my laptop fast and put it back together again.
as well as create a Windows recovery disk, reinstall Windows from the recovery disk and get your PC back in working order as quick as possible after installing the new solid-state drive.
even if your laptop is not a15c s series, this video applies to a lot of laptops in the same Hewlett-Packard family of laptops, this is the newest version of the house laptop series.
if you only need to know how to open or take apart the laptop then that is the first part of the video you can stop there, putting it back together is the reverse order of taking it apart.

My i5-cs0053cl is identical to this, but doesn't have the dual fan setup...but it has the space for it. Has anyone upgraded to the dual fan that is shown on this video? I know 2 fans would be louder but also cooler I'd think...

@unicorns8418 4 года назад

the blue one has a gpu in it and the silver one is just integrated graphics the blue one is also more expensive

@fahed_sebai 4 года назад

It's not louder at all, and my laptop never heats, so it's a win win situation

@unicorns8418 4 года назад

@Fahed Sebia Where did you find the fan header part for the dual fan setup the default silver hp with integrated graphics doesn't have the gpu fan header.

@admirmehic8552 4 года назад

My upgrade went as per your demo except the recovery step process failed at about 10%. I was able to hook up the old HD via a USB housing and clone it to the SSD. Everything works great and the PC is nice and "snappy fast". :) Thank you very much for posting this. Fantastic demo.

By far the best instruction I have seen out of at least 9 - 11 videos that I've watched. My laptop is very similar. 14" version and I actually am sitting here having purchased the same SSD yesterday. I did make the recovery stick today. Great detailed steps here. Bought another RAM chip to stick in the empty slot I have. I see you have two, probably 8G each.

@angelmcclelland599 2 года назад

what RAM component? is it universal, the sticks? I wanna make sure they are compatible with my own. I have the same build. "15-cc563st"

A very helpful video. I have no intention of doing it myself but I love to know what the professionals will be doing when I take it to them. This was clear and easy to follow and showed me that for someone used to doing it there isn't too much they could easily screw up. Also...boy the difference a couple years makes! I'll be getting the 870 EVO 1tb (maybe the 2tb) and also at microcenter it's $65 (2tb is $120)

Clear, right to the point. I like the different angle recording, well done. I just have a small question here. Is it okay if i rely on the partition recovery located in my hard drive instead of making another one on an external drive? ( I couldn't access the "create recovery drive" setting for some reason, it does not open at all)

Some are on the case and some are on the back panel and I didnt want to break any or damage the case guessing. Mine was really snug even on the back. B awesome detail explaining for people that wouldnt be as tech savvy. You pointed out a all the key details on this model if you were to replace the HDD. C those Samsung EVO's are great, I couldnt tell if you got the 850 or 860.

Could I put a 1tb or less ssd in the machine or piggyback an ssd as mentioned below for speed for the other things I do such as websearch etc, really don't need massive storage at all, reason I ask is a friend who is a wrinkly nerd like me but is a computer whizz says I need to have equivalent ssd to do info transfer from hard drive.

@@Psyberify this was some time ago, but, pushing the little clips in by prying into the side of the backplate to get it loose was a nightmare the first time around, and i left lasting damage on one side while trying to do so.
