Software that is disk intensive can feel sluggish on older spinning disks. Solid State Drives (SSD) don&#8217;t have that limitation, all the data is stored on memory chips and can be accessed at an amazing speed! Think of your mobile phone, or digital camera. All the data is stored on a chip.<\/p>\n<h4>Replacing the Hard Drive on an HP ENVY 14 (14-K20US)<\/h4>\n<p>The procedure to POP out your hard drive and replace with new will be very similar no matter which laptop you have. I happened to be doing work for a friend and will be showing images of her HP ENVY 14 (circa 2012)<\/p>\n<h4>STEP 1 &#8211; BACKUP UP YOUR DATA<\/h4>\n<p>Before we begin, you will need a good data backup. Use whatever method you are comfortable with. USB Disk, Network, Cloud backup. It does not matter as long as all your files are stored somewhere other than the drive we are about to remove.\u00a0 Side note &#8211; You should already be baking up your data.<\/p>\n<h5>Related reading :<a href=\"http:\/\/www.webcommand.net\/index.php\/2017\/04\/07\/data-you-dont-have-two-copies-of-is-data-you-dont-care-about\/\"> Data you don&#8217;t have two copies of is data you don&#8217;t care about!<\/a><\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>STEP 2 &#8211; REMOVE THE BACK COVER<\/h4>\n<p>Most modern laptops have a single cover on the back hiding all the parts from prying eyes. In our HP ENVY&#8217;s case we have 12 screws to remove. (as shown below). Be sure to take note of where each screw came from, as our ENVY had smaller screws in the front row as opposed to the rest.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.webcommand.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/laptop0.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1331\" src=\"http:\/\/www.webcommand.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/laptop0-1024x734.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"376\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.webcommand.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/laptop0-1024x734.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.webcommand.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/laptop0-150x107.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.webcommand.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/laptop0-300x215.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.webcommand.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/laptop0-768x550.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.webcommand.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/laptop0.jpg 1820w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Once the screws are out gently pry the cover off.
