hp gaming 15 Can upgrade memory and storage?

[Ciohoxyami]

Hello, first post here ☕ needing some advice, i was curious about the max capacity and compatibility for an upgrade of my hp gaming 15 ec0751ms, came with a 250gb m2 but i was wondering if i can put a crucial bx500 2,5 ssd 1Tb or whats the max capacity for it? same with the memory stick came with a 8gb ddr4 2666, how much i can expand it? supports dual channel? also upgrading those affects the warranty of the device? so many questions 🤔

Hi, thanks for your answer, i will go for the ram first then, and so it doesn't support 2,5 inch storage devices ssd/hdd? only nvme m2?

Most HP gaming laptop 15 like my HP OMEN 15 is support on both 2.5inch SATA storage drives (use either 2.5in HDDs or 2.5in SSDs) and m.2 NVMe SSD

[Ciohoxyami]

Thanks for the answers, i opened it and as you said its compatible with both the m.2 and the 2.5" sata.

 upgraded it! 😊

Did you read my reply in details

Regards.

[Ciohoxyami]

Well if you have the same model, it is compatible with nvme m2 and 2.5" sata drives hdd/ssd, and also have dual slots for ram, so yes can upgrade both

If I upgrade by my self, is the warranty become void?

[Ciohoxyami]

well, i replaced mine and yet under warranty but still you should check on your manual (customer self-repair i think)
