Hi,

 

I'm wondering if I can upgrade my laptop so I can run certain games (better). I'm sorry if this has been asked before for this model. These are my specifications:

 

Productnaam:HP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC

Totaal geheugen:6.00 GB
Processornaam:AMD A8-6410 APU with AMD Radeon R5 Graphics  

 

Thanks a lot.

The Model number is 15-p053nd. Unfortunately there is no practical way to upgrade. On that model the processor and video are soldered onto the motherboard so that the only way to upgrade anything would be to replace the motherboard. A replacement motherboard with a higher specification processor and video card will cost as much as the whole laptop is worth and still would need to be installed. Besides that, you already have a system that is close to the top so there is not much upgrade room anyway.
