Hi:

The memory in the dv6 will not fit in the15-cs2082tx.

dv6 notebooks use DDR3-1333 memory that runs at 1.5V and the 15-cs2082tx uses DDR4-2400 memory that runs at 1.2V.

There are a different number of contact pins and the slot in the memory is cut in a different place making it impossible to fit it in the slot.

Thanks

So that mean I can buy 2400mhz ddr4 ram 4gb low voltage online and can use it to upgrade my laptop ram .

And do we just need to insert it in laptop or further we need to install some software too ?

You're very welcome.

Yes, you can simply add another 4 GB memory chip to the notebook and have 8 GB.

Your notebook can support more memory than 8 GB, so you may want to consider adding more than a 4 GB chip to the notebook.

You can also use DDR4-2666 or DDR4-3200 memory if it costs less.

The faster memory will automatically bridge to 2400 MHz.

Below is the link to the Crucial memory report for your notebook.

No additional software/change of BIOS settings is required.

Just install the new memory and it should automatically work if you buy compatible memory for your notebook.
