Hp Elitebook 8540w mSATA help.

[Andrei26]

Hallo girls. :D i have a Hp Elitebook 8540w and a free wifi slot (msata) but i dont know if its support it. im form a poor contry and a msata is more like to cost like half my sallery. so i try to find it on google. but did not see any answer. so im a big fan of LTT so i try here. if someone cold help me thats nice. 

 

FIrst i try to upgrade my cpu form a i7 620m to i7 740qm. but everyone says that's impossible because 8540w have a 2core and 1uad core motherboard. so i try it and its works. but im not so sure abaut my msata ssd. but i rly need the extra hdd and cd drive.

 

i try on hp's forum but the community is low. after 5 days i'm still waiting.

Upgrading the CPU will work just fine, I've done it dozens of times. If there is an HFS (Heatsink/Fan) upgrade available do it, as for mSATA it will work just fine in that laptop, you could even have it as your boot drive.

Also I would recommend the i7–840QM, unless price is too extreme go with the previously mentioned CPU, which would also work.

 

Plus when moving to a quad core, be sure to upgrade the HFS. This would be my recommendation for your machine (HP 595769-001)
