Ram compatibility with daoxx 15 hp laptop

[Baracus129]

Can you tell me if I can upgrade my Daoxx 15 HP laptop from 4gb to 16gb and can I use any brand?

If your notebook has an Intel Core processor, then it supports 2 x 8 GB of memory.

You should be able to use any compatible memory brand.

I recommend Crucial memory:

Crucial 8GB DDR4-2400 SODIMM | CT8G4SFS824A | Crucial UK

It has only 1x slot for a ram, can it still have the 16gb ram?

[Paul_Tikkanen]

I don't know of anyone who has tried that.

The manual indicates 1 x 8 GB is the max.

If you want to experiment with a 16 GB chip, run this command:

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 indicates 33,xxx,xxx, then perhaps a 16 GB memory chip will work because it is detecting the circuitry for the second memory slot and indicating the notebook should support 32 GB.

If the report indicates 16,xxx,xxx, then a 16 GB memory chip is almost 100% guaranteed not to work.

A recommended 16 GB memory chip to try if the report indicates 32 GB of memory is supported:
