Hi, is there a free M.2 socket for SSD in the motherboard so I can get more  storage?
And also is there a free DDR4  place too? How can I expand DDR4 memory? If there is a free place shoud I get 2 x 8GB DDR4 so I can get 16GB memory or can I just change current DDR4 ((GB) to DDR4 16GB?

Its specs

 

            https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c06414465

 

1. STORAGE: It only has one M.2 slot which is occupied by  256 GB PCIe® NVMe™ M.2 SSD . No spare.

2. RAM: It has 2 slots of RAM and supports 32GB max. It has 8 GB DDR4-2666 SDRAM (1 x 8 GB) now you can upgrade to

       - 16GB : add sane 8GB to slot 2

       - 32GB: installed 16GB to each slot using compatible RAM such as https://www.crucial.com/memory/ddr4/ct2k16g4dfra266/ct18797427

 

If you need more storage, you can add normal HDD to your machine.

 

Regards,

BH

Hello,

Crucial is out of stock, so is this the same DDR4?
