HP Notebook - 15-bs590tu

I am writing to inquire about the possibility of upgrading my laptop. Currently, it has 4GB RAM and 1 TB HDD, I would like to know if it's feasible to upgrade it to 8 GB of RAM and a 256 GB SSD and Whether these upgrades are compatible with my laptop model.

@ashilasok14,

 

Your model has an Intel Core processor, and according to your service manual, max 16 (2x8) GB DDR4-2133 is supported.

If you just want to add another 4 GB in the empty slot, you can install something like this.

Your model comes with an M.2 slot that supports SATA SSDs, not NVMe. So if you want a '256 GB SSD,' you can install a 256 GB M.2 SATA SSD.

 

Alternatively, you can replace the current 1 TB 2.5" hard drive with a 2.5" SATA SSD of any capacity you want.

 

Basically, M.2 SATA SSDs and 2.5" SATA SSDs both run at the same speeds.
