HP 15-ds1063cl
Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)

COSTCO has a great deal on the HP 15-ds1063cl  for $599 which includes 8gb ram and 528 SSD.  1st most important questions is can i upgrade to 16GB's RAM?  I believe it will come with 2 times 4gb cards but only has two slots???  If thats the case i would have to ditch the pair of 4's for two 8's or could i just ditch one 4 and go to 12gbs RAM?

 

Not sure if ill need to upgrade the SSD 528 to 1 TB, but if so...what will i need to make happen?

 

THanks in advance for sure!!!

The specs say that It supports a harddrive and ssd combinations.   A sata and an ssd.   My pc came with 500gb ssd.  Can I just add a sata drive?
