I actually want to upgrade the RAM for my gaming laptop as I have a one free slot. I want 8gb ram 3200MHZ, SODIUMM. Can someone suggest me the particular ram to buy for my laptop.

If you have one ram stick it is best to add an identical, but used one.

 

An easy way to find what memory you have is to run the wmic app from the windows command prompt. Bring up the window 'cmd' prompt and enter

wmic memorychip get devicelocator, capacity, speed, MemoryType, formfactor, partnumber, manufacturer


Should look something like the following. To purchase identical memory search for the part number shown and look for the letters 'HP' on any label attached to the memory stick.
