Memory upgrade and additional HDD installation?

[Abdul-Raheem_]

Hi everyone,

I would like to know the following about the HP Pavilion - 15-cs3075wm.

1. Can the preconfigured 8 GB of SDRAM be increased, and if so, what is the maximum amount of additional memory that can be installed/supported?

2. By increasing the RAM, will the video graphics memory be able to share some of it too? I'm hoping that this will result in increased capacity and performance as well.

3. Are there any additional drive bays to install a second Hard Drive?

Thank you for your time.

Hello again @Abdul-Raheem_ 

1. Yes the ram can be increased. But how much is yet to be determined. The manual has not been upgraded by HP yet to reflect that newest series with the new 10th gen CPU. But it will most likely be the same as its previous versions, so it can be upgraded to at least 16GB (2x8GB).

2. The integrated video memory allocation will only get increased as the system requires it automatically, no matter how much you increase the ram. In other words, adding more ram wont make it automatically increase.

3. No additional drive bays, but the motherboard should have an M.2 port to add an NVMe SSD. You would have to open the case and physically look to make sure that its there. Sometimes with an HP, if you did not buy a model that the M.2 drive was already installed, the port might not be soldered into the motherboard.
