Does 15-en1075cl have a second M.2 slot? And does it support 32GB memory?

[emsbro100]

Exactly what the title says, I have two questions about the Omen 15-en1075cl:

1. Does it have a second M.2 slot? I checked the manuals but there didn't seem to be a clear answer, and I'm interested in installing a second drive to run Linux on.

2. Does it support 32GB of memory? The manual says it supports up to 32GB, but then only lists configurations for 8GB and 16GB.

I checked the manuals and couldn't find any clear answers which is why I am asking here. I also can't contact support currently as I do not have my laptop's s/n handy and won't for a few days.

Hi:

HP only has the maintenance and service guide for the older 15-en0xxx model series on your notebook's support page.

OMEN 15.6 inch Gaming Laptop PC 15-en1000 Manuals | HP® Customer Support

According to chapter 1 of the manual, there is a second M.2 slot that supports a NVMe SSD.

The manual indicates that 2 x 8 GB of DDR4-3200 memory is supported, but your notebook will probably support 2 x 16 GB of memory.

You can do this to see how much memory your notebook can support:

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 hit enter.

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.

Yes, the HP Omen 15-en1075cl has a second M.2 slot that you can use to install a second SSD. This will give you additional storage space or the ability to run a different operating system on the second SSD. However, please note that you may need to purchase additional screws and brackets to install the second SSD.

Regarding memory, the HP Omen 15-en1075cl supports up to 32GB of DDR4-3200 SDRAM. You can upgrade the memory by adding additional memory modules or replacing the existing modules with larger capacity ones. It's important to ensure that the memory modules you purchase are compatible with the laptop's specifications before upgrading.
