Is it compatible with HP envy Dv6 and does the windows on the system matter?

All notebooks should be using 2.5 hard drive. It should compatible with DV6. As long as you know how to install the windows. The only thing is you need to create the recovery disc from your computer first, otherwise you need to have the DVD to install windows and your windows license underneath the laptop

Yes. The key factors are the size 2.5" small laptop size and the connection type (SATA). Doesn't matter what version of Windows you install.

It is supposed to work but it didn't work for me. I had windows 7 and an HP 720C.

In fact, my HP Envy doesn't include any optical drive. When I bought it, I was looking for an lightweight laptop (but not ultrabook). Also, doesn't include VGA (15 pin) connector, only HDMI.

As far as I know, it is. It is a USB device, so it is supposed to be compatible regardless of what Windows version you have.

It would be better you youtube your search using your specific make and modle of computer. most are just plug-n-play but mine the HP DV7 1000series after simple install you have to go into the bios and marry the hard drive so it will be reconised

This card will not work on an HP DV7, or any other current-gen DV-series (Pavilion or Envy, etc.) laptop.Most HP (and Lenovo as well, I believe) laptops have a BIOS whitelist for WiFi/BT cards nowadays, unfortunately!

One other thing, make sure you are connecting the USB 3.0 cable to the Envy's USB 3.0 port (not sure of your laptop's configuration, but it likely has a mix of 3.0 and 2.0 ports; no idea why, since 3.0 should be backwards-compatible).

Sorry, I had to return mine as defective, however, I replaced it with and HP Envy which I like very much.

I am running one on my HP Pavillion dv6105 successfully, I assume the 6205 is very similar.

I don't know about the dv6, It says it is compatible with the dv5 but after purchasing it, it doesn'teven come close. The would be leary of the same problem with the dv6. Sorry

Just checked the box it says good for WinXP (SP3), Vista (SP1)/7/8 and that's quoted in system requirements. Hope this helps.

We'll it does just fine as is on mine. Unlikely that there will be a problem. If you do search on Microsoft help for running in compatibility mode.

Amazon is a little creepy in that they asked if I could answer this question... It just so happens I recently purchased an HP ENVY TouchSmart 15t-j000 -- but from HP! However they knew it, I can answer this question -- yes, it is compatible. Just take out the battery, open the center plate on the bottom of the laptop (one screw, then it pops out), unscrew and pop off the two wire connections to the similar-looking non-dual-band card it comes with, and install this one in its place! It started up and immediately recognized 5.0GHz networks. Why HP doesn't offer a dual-band card like this, I don't know...

It will defiantly work but im not sure how well. I have an HP aspire with some upgrades in it but it has some confliction with my graphics card and is a bit choppy but still works fine. And im not sure if there is a website that talks about what graphics cards work best. But I can tell you that it will work. I still like and enjoy it. I am running my laptop on two other monitors and i use the slower monitor for things that dont have alot of animation like text files or music.

No problems with Windows 7 supporting the unit. If you have room for it in your box, it should work.
