Hello. Have just received this laptop as a gift and need more memory and ram. I am wondering if this laptop has 2 storage slots and if the second one is a Nvme/m.2 or a 2.5” sata? Also is SODIMM DDR4 RAM compatible? I believe there is 1x8gb stick so if I add another 8gb of the same speed it will work out to be 16gb. Thanks for your help

I reviewed your post and I understand that you want to know whether you can upgrade the RAM and storage on the computer.

 

Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.

 

Yes, you can add a second hard drive to the computer. The maximum supported RAM on your computer is 32GB.

 

Refer to the below service guide for detailed information.

Hello and thanks for your answer. I’m still not sure what sort of hard drive I need to purchase. My laptop currently has a 256gb SSD installed but I don’t know whether it is a 2.5” drive or an M.2 drive. Could you please clarify? Thanks

You can install a 2.5" SATA hard drive on the computer.
