Hello @Emeraldkingz,

Welcome back to the HP Support Forums!

I understand that you are having an issue with the Memory Modules, and wanted to assist you!

Based on the following guide, here are all the compatible Memory Module upgrades for the notebook: HP ENVY 17 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide (Chapter 1, Page 1-2).

Two customer-accessible/upgradable memory module slots

DDR3L-1600MHz Dual Channel Support

Supports up to 16-GB of system RAM in the following configurations:

● 4096-MB total system memory (2048×2)

● 4096-MB total system memory (4096×1)

● 6144-MB total system memory (2048×1 + 4096×1)

As the Graphics Card is part of the System Board, it should not be upgradable without replacing the entire System Board.

Hello @Emeraldkingz,

Thank you for the quick reply!

Your notebook can support up to 16-GB of system RAM, using the configuration of 2 x 8-GB Memory Modules.  As stated in my previous post, Since the Graphics Card is part of the System Board, it should not be upgradable without replacing the entire System Board.  I hope this helps.

Regards!
