Hello all,
My sister-in-law has this all-in-one with a mechanical HDD and would like to get that replaced by a SSD, but after looking at it for a while I have not seen how to open it without trying to separate the display.
Before doing something that could end in a broken computer, I thought on asking it here...
As always thank you very much in advance.
And today... let me also wish you all a super 2024!

Maintenance manuals for most hp computers are on their website(s), but Ms Google should find one somewhere. "<product name> manual" should get you there.

That's what I thought, nothing on that specific model... It's quite strange, there are many manuals but none hardware related in their web site.
No worries though, my sister-in-law sawe the youtube video posted before here and got scared enough not to want to replace the HDD...

Happy New Yearrrrrrrrr! (pirate version) to you Richard!
Nothing interesting there related to hardware that I have been able to see, in any case my sister-in-law got scared after seeing the previously posted youtube video and decided not to update the HDD... ^^¡

Tell her to send it back to the shop she got it from to do the upgrade. If they break it/void the warranty, it'll be on them, not you.
The price they charge for the upgrade is her punishment for buying an all-in-one PC.

I'd also think about the Windows license "transfer" ... certain things "break the account"; and you wind up getting a new license (unless you have "keys" or like dealing with MS).

4 more times and you'll end with an extra screw!

I have needed to take my Dell apart a few times to replace components (including a new SSD). I always start by drawing a diagram showing where each screw is on the case. I then place the actual screw on its correct place on the diagram as I remove them. It's then a simple matter to re-assemble correctly. Also Dell kindly provide a complete document with instructions and diagrams to change components.

As always, the east is a few hours ahead. For me, for example, it still takes about 4 hours.
Happy New Year and lots of health, contentment, happiness and success

Not around here.
And not according to ISO.

How does that agree with English putting the adjective before the noun? Doesn't the month have to come before the year that it modifies?
|
|

On this day, the thirty-first of December in the year of our Lord two thousand and twenty-three, I tell to you that the year is modifying the month.
(Not that it matters anyway, no.)

I am unfamiliar with that rule. Apparently, it doesn't apply to date vs. month.
If you really think this is a general rule, you should start a movement to have IP addresses reorganized.

IPv6 -> 6vIP?

I've never understood why the US uses this odd order.
It's like giving a measurement as 2 feet, 4 inches and 3 yards! It makes no sense.

I'm still waiting to see a car with the odometer set up to read (from left to right) as hundreds of miles, then tens of miles, then miles, and then followed by hundreds of thousands of miles, tens of thousands of miles, and finally thousands of miles. Replace with kms if you wish.
You'd think on a site that is visited primarily by developers, who understand reading from most significant bit to least significant bit in progressive order - without bit significance flipping around in-between - would understand it makes much more sense to read/write dates in the same way. And it gets rid of all ambiguity.

To make matters worse, when I got it all back together, there are 4 screws left over! 
I know where they go, and it means I've got to take the whole thing apart again! Oh well, it should be easier the 2nd time!
