Hi

 

 

There is only 1 slot for the upgrade, supports up to 8 GB of system RAM. I assume your laptop came with 4GB RAM, so replacing that with 8GB is that you're trying, right?

 

Configuration supported:

DDR3L-1600-MHz Single Channel Support

DDR3L-1333-MHz Single Channel Support (DDR3-1600 downgrade to DDR3-1333)

 

 

This is the user manual.

 

Go through Page 65,

 

It says:

You have to Remove the battery and then remove the following components:

● Keyboard 

● Top cover

● WLAN module

● System board

 

So, its not an easily accessible area,

 

I suggest you to Contact HP for the upgrade, if you're not technically used to this.

 

 

Thanks,

Thanks for the infomation. It was a pain changing the memory but it did help. What I think will help more will be removing win 8.1 and installing Win 7.

You're welcome 🙂

 

Go through this thread, HP Expert lasvegaswireman has explained it clearly if you're planning for downgrade to Windows 7, it may help.

 

 

thanks,
