Windows 10: Upgrade HP Envy 23-k011 to SSD

I would like to replace the HDD of the HP Envy Recline with 500GB SSD . No bios or hardware issues . I prefer to rearrange the HDD and clone it rather than clean install to save the time to reinstall each program I have on it. Please see disk partition . I will remove D and E to external disk . But need advise how best to rearrange the remaining partitions , deleting all unnecessary ones to create a single C: drive for cloning or imaging ( not sure which is best approach) . Thanks

HP ENVY 23 cpu upgrade advice.

Hi I am thinking of updating the CPU in my HP ENVY 23-d010ea, and I was wondering if either of these would do, they are on the list o suitable upgrades but I was wondering if there would be much of an improvement as the CPU that is in it seems to be getting a bit sluggish.

This is what I have : Intel (R) Pentium(R) CPU g645@2.90ghz.

The ones I was looking at are


Intel Core i5-3xxxT (Ivy Bridge) Quad Core

up to 45W


Intel Core i5-3xxxT (Ivy Bridge) Dual Core

up to 35W

I have seen second hand ones quite reasonable.

 

HP Envy 23 DVD Drive no longer working

Hi, I have just upgraded to Windows 10 on my HP Envy 23 D116a and the DVD drive is not working.

It shows up in device manager as hp dvd a ds8a9sh, the driver is just a cd-rom driver though, I have tried updating the driver, deleting the driver and restarting.

When any disc is put in it does not show up in the drives list in file explorer.

Any ideas on what to try next?

Thanks
