Here is a Manual showing how to do the replacement:
Yes an SSD in place of the hard drive is the best single upgrade you can do. Well worth it and your computer is new enough to profit from the upgrade. Your hard drive is a 3.5 inch desktop drive and all SSDs on the market now are 2.5 inch wide and 7 mm thick. In order to install the SSD where the hard drive is now you need a 2.5 inch to 3.5 inch adapter.
I like the Samsung 850 Evo SSD it's the best consumer grade SSD on the market but does tend to be priced to reflect that. You can buy on price. Western Digital makes good ones, Kingston, Adata.
Post back with any other questions. Happy to kick around software transfer/reinstallation.

No the motherboard is integral to the laptop. You must use a motherboard designed for your model series. In other words, it has to be one of the motherboards listed in the Service Manual for your model.
Hi
Please download and install the driver on the below link and check.
https://downloadmirror.intel.com/25044/eng/intel_rs_dcm_sr300_3.3.27.5718.exe
Let me know how it goes.
Which version of SimplePass have you installed?
This version is the latest (at this writing), having been released a little over a year ago:
sp76923 HP SimplePass V8.01.62A W7-W10 32/64bit
In general, this version will work with your installed Synaptics / Validity Sensor Driver.
Four possible systems in your model group:
Example
HP ENVY TouchSmart 15t-j100 Quad Edition CTO Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR)
Driver listed for this example system:
Validity Fingerprint Sensor Driver - Windows 7
[Operating Systems]
W764PR=OEM
[Devices]
USB\VID_138A&PID_0050="Validity Sensor(WBF) (PID=0050)"
Try / Consider this newer Driver:
sp74365 Validity Sensor V4.5.327.0A W10-64bit OEM
[Operating Systems]
WT64=OEM
W764PR=OEM
[Devices]
USB\VID_138A&PID_0050="Validity Sensors (WBF) (PID=0050)"
Caveat:
IF for some reason, you are running AuthenTec SimplePass any version 6.x, the older program must be uninstalled (and the computer Restarted) BEFORE you install SimplePass 8.x
Why remove old 6.x SimplePass?
SimplePass versions 6.x were written by a different company (so the code is different).
NOTE:
SimplePass is normally easy to set up and run on Windows 7 -- no weird Windows Hello and PIN in W7.
Conversely, Windows 7 is old now; keeping Windows updated is sometimes a challenge.
SimplePass Likes an updated Operating System.
SimplePass also likes the HP Drivers to be updated -- also can be challenging because Windows 7 is older, stable, and perhaps not as frequently provided with updates.

Perfect.thank you so much
In my original post (OP) above, in the context of BIOS update I have referred to three (#3) attributes of an HP-15-BS576TX MotherBoard.
1. Mother Board ID : HP-832B
2. Mother Board Hardware Rev Num : 23.27 (specific to my MB)
3. Mother Board CT-Number : PGNEPM31W88BB3 (again specific to my MB)
As I mentioned in the OP, the 1st & 3rd (including their legends) are obtained from BIOS "System Info", by pressing "F1" on system ReBoot .
Whereas the 2nd item is obtained from the "CPU-Z" utility's "MainBoard" Tab (#3rd tab), located just right side of where it displays the Model/MotherBoard-ID. I myself have just given it its legend "Mother Board Hardware Rev Num".
These are based on my educated guess & plain common sense, rather than an indepth knowledge on this parameters.
So I would request the established "HP experts" & "Top Solution Authors" here in this forum to throw more light into these three MB attributes/terms, & explain which ones are unique to the particular model "HP-15-BS576TX", and which are not.
I assume the following:-
1. MB-ID = HP-832B remains common for all "HP-15-BS576TX" motherboards.
2. MB Hardware Rev Num, changes whenever there is new MB-PCB design/layout change,
and so will be common to a group of "HP-15-BS576TX" motherboards which are produced for a period of time.
3. MB CT-number may be unique to each mother board, made by HP for "HP-15-BS576TX".
But as I said earlier these are my guesses, based on my experience.
It is upto the HP experts to correct me, & provide a correct perspective, & better understanding.

Hello;
Allow me to welcome you to the HP forums!
HP will not do a system transfer under the existing warranty because that is not what the warranty covers.
If you want HP to do this, you would have to pay for it to be done -- and you should first check with HP Customer Support to see if HP is even willing to do this (as I suspect, they will NOT be willing to do).
If you live in the US or Canada, contact information is on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/phone-assist.html#section1
If you live elsewhere, contact information is on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html
NOTE: After you get through, stay on the line until you are finally able to talk to some one -- it can take a while!
If you have trouble finding a phone number, then try: 1 (800) 474-6836
----------------------------------
However, it is likely that HP Customer Support will be closed tomorrow and through the weekend, so you might have to wait until Monday to check with them.
This morning I had Simple Pass V 8.0.1.53. I checked for updates. "No updates available" came up...4 times one after the other after the other. 5 minutes later when I'd moved on to another tab "Update available" popped up. It was 8.0.1.62. I installed it. Now looking at the .exe files installed in the Simple Pass folder there are a mixture of .46, .53 & .62.
As far as the model number is concerned all I have recorded is:
HP Envy Model 15t-j100
Product #: E9W31AV
Whether that is suficient to determine the exact model I don't know.
As for updating to Win 10, won't happen. Tried that, hate it almost as much as W 8. I bought this machine at the end of 2014. Win 7 was not that old then, but this Simple Pass has never worked. As I said I was able to get it to save the Windows log in, but since then nothing. I wouldn't mind, I'm okay with Roboform, but my wife wants to use this machine and she needs something simple, I mean really simple, which this isn't.
If the hardware is compatible with other software I'd rather start over from scratch than struggling with Simple Pass. Do you know if this is possible.
Thanks for your help,
David
Thank you for posting on HP Forums,
Riddle_Decipher is at your service.
As I understand the laptop is heating up and there's a vibrating noise from the fan,
No worries, as I'll be glad to help you, that said, I'll need a few more details to dissect your concern & provide an accurate solution:
Have you attempted to clean the vents or use a cooling pad?
While you respond to that, here's what you need to do:
I have a few recommendations:
Updating your Notebook computer BIOS
Keeping notebook air vents clear and clean
Increasing the efficiency of the notebook to reduce heat
Using Windows Task Manager to identify corrupt processes
Selecting power saves settings to shut off your computer when it is not in use
For more details: Click here
NOTE: Generally, when temperatures inside the case rise above 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit), the risk of damaging important internal components increases greatly.
Also, to avoid the CPU damage, we do not recommend throttling or overclocking the CPU, I recommend you refrain from using high-performance games on this laptop as it's not built for the same.
That said, it's best you Contact HP to have the device either repaired/replaced if the issue persists after the above steps are completed, HP Support can be reached by clicking on the following link:
* Open link: www.hp.com/contacthp/
* Enter Product number or select to auto detect
* Scroll down to "Still need help? Complete the form to select your contact options"
* Scroll down and click on HP contact options - click on Get a Case & phone number.
They will be happy to assist you immediately.
If the unit is under warranty repair services under the manufacturer's warranty will be free of charge.

same as the laptop - haven't replaced it yet. So a few years old. However I was focused on the "holding a charge" stat above...if that has nothing to do with it, happy to replace, just wasn't sure that was the actual issue
