I need to add a new fan, while I have it open, I’d like to add maximum Ram, and maximum SSD hard drive

HP only has the service manual for the older model series with the Intel 8th gen core processors.

Chapter 1 has the memory upgrade information.

HP 17 Laptop PC Maintenance and Service Guide

Run this command to see how much memory your notebook can support:

1. In the search box, search for cmd and click Run as administrator.

This will open the command prompt.

2. Once command prompt is opened, type wmic memphysical get maxcapacityEx and press the enter key.

There, it will show the maximum RAM capacity your PC's motherboard can support.

The capacity is shown as Kilobytes, so you have to convert it to Gigabytes by dividing the number provided in the report by 1,048,576.

As far as a larger capacity NVMe SSD, theoretically the sky's the limit as long as the drive is single-sided, so the SSD fits in the M.2 slot.

The SSD slot is PCIe Gen 3.0.
