HP Laptop 15s-eq1246ng RAM upgrade

[mikepil]

Hello,

I have the HP 15s-eq1246ng Laptop and I would like to upgrade the RAM up to 32 GB with two 16 GB sticks as my IDE is making the whole system unusable with only the 8GB RAM it came with. 

Has anyone had success of upgrading the RAM on this specific laptop or has anyone an idea if the installed RAM is removable and if so, what is the maximum capacity one can install in one slot? 

I appreciate any help from you all. 

Thanks in advance

Hi:

Unfortunately, HP only has the service manual for the older 15s-eq0xxx model series.

Maintenance and Service Guide HP 15 Laptop PC

According to the manual, the max memory is 2 x 8 GB.

You can do this to see how much memory your notebook can support...

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 hit enter.

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.

I'm pretty sure you will find that it supports 2 x 16 GB of DDR4-3200 memory.

The Crucial memory report for a similarly equipped model as yours indicates that 32 GB of memory is supported.

The below model came with 4 GB of memory from HP.

I do not recommend that you buy gaming/performance memory because the timings are faster than the standard memory HP installed in your notebook.

Since you cannot adjust the memory timing or XMP profile in the BIOS, it may not work.
