Adding RAM

[Jay1235]

Just bought an HP Laptop 15 (product #4JB82UA#ABA).  Box is showing 4 GB of RAM.
1. I want to know if this is upgradable to 8 GB.  Specs indicate 0 slots available.

2. If yes, do I need to remove the 4GB stick and replace it with an 8 GB stick?  

3. Also, how do I know what type of RAM to buy for this laptop?  I plan to add the RAM myself if it’s just adding or replacing the RAM stick.  Any info would be appreciated. Ty.

Hi:

I cannot find a service manual for that model series.

If your notebook only has one memory slot as reported, then you can remove the 4 GB memory chip and replace it with an 8 GB memory chip.

If after opening up the notebook, you find two memory slots, you can upgrade to a max of 2 x 8 GB of memory.

Here is the link to the service video library for the model series which will help you open up the notebook.

This would be a compatible 8 GB memory module...
