Can I upgrade to 16GB Ram on my Slim S01-aF2006na. Seems a bit slow running Windows 11.

Hi:

According to the motherboard specs, your notebook has one memory slot and can support 1 x 8 GB of DDR4-2400 Mhz memory.

HP Desktop PCs - Motherboard Specifications, BohemiaCR | HP® Support

If you want to experiment with a 16 GB memory chip run this command to see if it would be possble:

1. In the search box, search for cmd and click Run as administrator.

This will open the command prompt.

2. Once command prompt is opened, type wmic memphysical get maxcapacityEx and press the enter key.

There, it will show the maximum RAM capacity your PC's motherboard can support.

The capacity is shown as Kilobytes, so you have to convert it to Gigabytes by dividing the number provided in the report by 1,048,576.

If the report shows 33,xxx,xxx, then it may be possible to remove the 8 GB chip and install a 16 GB DDR4-2400 CL 17 memory chip in the slot.

If it reports 16,xxx,xxx, then it is unlikely to work.

It returned 32 xxx xxx so looks like I can upgrade

That's definitely promising.

See if you can get this chip on Amazon.UK or Crucial.UK
