Product: HP Pavilion dv6605us Entertainment Notebook PC
Operating System: Microsoft Windows Vista

Hi there!

I have a Dv6500 p/n GS662UA#ABA, AMD 64 Athlon X2, Windows Vista. But when I browse with the serial number, it was a Hp Pavilion Dv6605us.

 I'm planning to upgrade it, so I need advice from the expert. Here are my questions:

- Which one is correct, Dv6500 or Dv6605us? Or is it the same?

- Can I upgrade the RAM to over 4gb? And what memory that works well with it?

- For the OS, is it ok to go up to W10, or better with W7?

- What should I do if I want to upgrade the graphic?

Tq for the kind answers 😃
