If your notebook has an Intel Core processor, you can install a NVMe SSD such as the Samsung 980 PCIe 3.0.

 

The 980 Pro would work but the slot is only Gen 3.0 so the 980 Pro would run the same as the 980.

 

Memory:  The service manual indicates the max memory is 2 x 8 GB.

You can install DDR4-3200 memory, but it is only going to run at either 2400 MHz or 2133 MHz depending on if your notebook has an Intel 7th gen or 8th gen core processor.

 

You can run this command to see if your notebook can support 2 x 16 GB of memory:

 

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

 

This will open the command prompt.

 

2. Once the 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.
