250R G10 RAM upgrade

[balazs4]

Hey, I was wondering if I could upgrade the ram in my laptop, if so how?

I have an HP 250R G10 Intel(R) Core(TM) 3 100U (1.20 GHz) 8/512gb.

Thanks for your help

@balazs4,

The service manual (on page 1) states that up to 16 GB (2x8 GB) DDR4-3200 memory is supported.

Maintenance and Service Guide HP 250R 15.6 inch G10 Notebook PC

If your model has 2x4 GB memory, you can remove it and install 2x8 GB memory. If you have 1x8 GB, you can add another 8 GB module in an empty second slot.

If you need more than 16 GB, open Windows PowerShell as an administrator and run the following command line to see if it's possible.

Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_PhysicalMemoryArray | Select-Object MaxCapacityEx, MemoryDevices

The max RAM capacity will be reported in KB. To convert to GB, divide the number twice with 1024. If it shows 32 GB, your model likely supports 2x16 GB.

The manual shows how to replace/install memory on pages 41-43.
