Good Evening,

My gaming laptop only has 8 ram, and I want to increase the amount of ram.  What is the most ram that can be installed on my laptop and what specifically do I buy? How hard is it to install?

Thank you

@lil_gamer,

 

Welcome to our HP User Forum!

 

Your HP Gaming Pavilion - 15-dk0068wm (7MP87UA), according to various (up-to-date) sources such as: https://www.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/hp---compaq/pavilion-gaming-15-dk0068wm, indicates that you could fit up to 2 x 32GB DDR4 PC4-21300, 2666 MHz, Non-ECC, Unbuffered, SODIMM, 260-pin RAM sticks.

 

But you could also purchase DDR4 PC4-25600, 3200 MHz RAM, which will down throttle to 2666 MHz.

 

Hope this was helpful.

 

Kind Regards,

@lil_gamer,

 

And upgrading your RAM is easy.  Just follow the steps in this YouTube instructional video made by a User: Hp Pavilion Gaming 15 Dk - xxx Ram Upgrade, STEP By STEP - YouTube.

 

Btw, for most gaming purposes, 2x8GB would suffice, at most 2x16GB if you so desire. Please keep in mind that it is highly recommended that you install the same RAM: same brand, model, and capacity. In order to have your RAM run in dual-channel mode for best performance, use both RAM slots (2x8GB, 2x16GB).

 

Kind Regards,
