Convertible x360-15BR158CL Hardware/Software Limitations

[ironhide-81]

Hi,

I am providing a post not to resolve any major issues, but rather as facts I have discovered about my laptop:

x360 15-br158cl

Service Manual was not revised to support changes to the hardware

• Manual indicated 512GB M2. SATA SSD was largest supported drive. However, I am currently running a 1TB M.2 SATA SSD.
• Manual does not mention my model which includes R7 M340 AMD GPU.
• Your website doesn't offer Windows 11 specific support even though Windows 11 readiness qualifies this laptop for Windows 11.
• You don't offer the UEFI diagnostic partition on this laptop.
• The BIOS is a legacy style even though it is a modern UEFI supported BIOS.
• I question if the CPU (Intel 8550U) supports 32GB of RAM, maybe the laptop does too since the storage drive limitation in the Service Manual was proven wrong.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi:

Most HP notebooks with two memory slots that have Intel 8th gen core processors will 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 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.

If the report indicates you can install 32 GB of memory, then I recommend two of these chips:
