Upgrading RAM memory for all in one PC

[Shory]

Dear HP community,

I have a Pc all in one but it's too slow. I would like to upgrade the RAM memory, what's the best choice and how is it possible to do so?

Hi:

Below is the link to the product specs for your PC.

HP 22-b302nx All-in-One Desktop PC Product Specifications | HP® Customer Support

You can find the memory upgrade info at the link above.

Your PC has two memory slots and can support up to 2 x 8 GB of DDR4 memory.

This would be a compatible 8 GB memory chip for your PC...

@Shory -- in addition to the good information from @Paul_Tikkanen -- I note that your computer was factory-configured with 8 GB of RAM, which is "double" the RAM that many computers have.  This excludes "online gamers", who want 16 GB or 32 GB of RAM in their computers.

So, I recommend that you launch the Windows "Task Manager" -- hold-down CTRL and ALT keys, and tap the DELETE key, and then select Task Manager. Switch to its "Performance" tab, and see how much of your current 8 GB RAM is "used" and how much is "unused".  If less than 4 GB is "used", then it will be a waste of your money to add another 8 GB of RAM that will be "unused".

The specifications for your computer indicate that your disk-drive is 7200 RPM (33% better than the older 5400 RPM speed) and has a 1 TB capacity.  On that same "Performance" page, is the activity-level of your disk-drive relatively high?  Within Windows, are you using most of that 1 TB to store your files, or much less than 500 GB ? It is possible to replace your disk-drive by a SSD ("solid state device") to make the input/output up to 5 times faster, which will improve the overall performance of your computer. If 500 GB of storage works for you, that is some dollars less for purchasing a 500 GB SSD, as compared to the cost of a 1000 GB SSD.

Short answer: measure twice, and spend once.  🙂
