<h2>TP3 Harddrive Replacement</h2>

With Microsoft's Windows 7 Operating Systems going EOL, it is highly recommended to migrate to a new installation of Windows 10, to meet PCI compliance for credit card processing and POS software compliance.

**BEFORE CONTINUING TO THE NEXT STEPS, PLEASE DISCONNECT THE POWER FROM THE COMPUTER**

To replace the <a href="https://posguys.com/Accessories/updrive10_1120070" title="Upgrade to a Windows 10 SSD harddrive.">harddrive</a> on a POS-X TP3 series All-In-One computer, you will need to tilt the monitor portion of the computer, all the way forward.

After tilting the monitor forward, locate the power button on the base, and gently press against the plastic top cover that surrounds the top of the base, and where the power button is located. Slide the cover up, while pressing against the front. This will cause the cover to come off the top of the base.

After removing the top cover, please look at the right-hand side of the TP3 series computer (from the back side), where the top cover was pulled off the base. You should see a white swing tab that is holding in the harddrive, which has a plastic pull tab on it. This tab on the holder carriage will assist you with extracting the drive from the computer.

Once the drive has been pulled out, you may need to migrate the holder carriage from the old drive, to the new one. Once you have placed the new drive into the holder, reinsert the drive back into the TP3 series PC, in the same manner which the drive was extracted.

To complete the above steps, you will need a compatible SSD (Solid State Drive) with Windows 10 pre-loaded.

You can purchase your <a href="https://posguys.com/Accessories/updrive10_1120070" title="Upgrade to a Windows 10 SSD harddrive.">POS-X ION TP3 compatible drive</a> from POSGuys.com, that comes pre-loaded with the Windows 10 Operating System.

Please perform a database backup for your POS Software, prior to drive replacement. If using an older software version, such as Aldelo, Cash Register Express or CAP SellWise, you may need to upgrade your software version, post drive replacement.

If you run into issues during drive installation, please reach out to POSGuys.com's Technical Support team for further assistance at <a href="mailto:support@posguys.com" title="Lifetime support on POS-X hardware purchased from POSGuys.com">Support@POSGuys.com</a> or via phone at 1-800-903-6571 ext. 302.
