Omen 17 W213NF - HDD to SSD & RAM upgrade

[hellyeahh]

Hello, I would like to change the 1TB HDD of my Omen 17 W213NF to a 1TB SSD (2.5"), is that possible? I also would like to change the 2x4GB of RAM to 2x8GB of ram, would it work? 

Thanks!

Hello @hellyeahh 

YES to both questions.

Any 2.5 inch Sata SSD will work. I recommend a good brand name with a good warranty. Stay away from generic brands (my personal opinion).

Your ram needs to match the timings of the current stick thats installed. DDR4 2400Mhz laptop ram. If replacing the whole thing, the new ram should be purchased as a matched set, not separate purchases.

Crucial memory finder is an excellent tool on the web that can offer ram guaranteed to work or your money back.

Example:  In France... https://www.crucial.fr/  Look for HP Omen 17-200 or 200 CTO. Any model in the 200 range will be the same ram.
