Can I Add An Extra 4GB Of RAM To My Laptop (HP Pavilion Gaming - 15-ec0106ax)

[Yush12]

I bought a new laptop (HP Pavilion Gaming - 15-ec0106ax)  yesterday and it has a 8 GB DDR4-2400 SDRAM and before that i had an old laptop (HP Pavilion 15-e017tx Notebook PC) with a 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM. I have researched and found that my new laptop has 2 ram slots  so i wanted to know that can i add my old laptop's ram to new laptop and if yes would it work.

Please help me out with this problem..

Hi,

You can not add the old RAM to the new machine as DDR3 will not fit nor work with a DDR4 system.

You can upgrade the notebook to max 32GB of DDR4 2400MHz RAM (2x16GB)

On pagfe 31 of service manual you can see how to install extra RAM

hi again 😀

just wanted to add that you could add an extra 4GB of DDR3 1600MHz RAM to the old notebook. (max 16GB (2x8GB))

Ex

https://www.amazon.in/Kingston-1600MHz-PC3-12800-Notebook-KVR16S11S8/dp/B008CP5R8K/ref=sr_1_1?dchild...

and replace the hard drive with a 2.5" SATA SSD (reinstall the OS)

Ex

https://www.amazon.in/Crucial-BX500-240GB-2-5-inch-CT240BX500SSD1/dp/B07G3YNLJB/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&...

and you would have a nice and fast machine to use or give away.
