HP Pavilion 17 Notebook PC (E0J97UA#ABA) Memory and WLAN Upgrade Questions

[WorldWarZ]

Hello,

Looking to upgrade the memory and WLAN in my HP Pavilion 17 Notebook PC (Intel CPU) and was wondering if a Kingston OEM 4 GB (KCP3L16SS8/4) will work or will it be white-listed, just read about them in HP systems and didn't know about them until now. I found the Kingston OEM module cheaper than the HP's, hopefully the OEM will work.

Also, will the following HP WLan module work as well?

Intel Wireless-N 7260BN 802.11b/g/n 2×2 WiFi + Bluetooth 4.0 Combo Adapter w/Part Number 717384-001, just double-checking what I found on HP's service guide since HP's website said my make/model was a HP Pavilion 17-e019dx. Sorry, the model numbers are confusing.

Thank you

Hi Riddle_Decipher,

Thank you for the response back to my upgrade questions regarding my Pavilion 17 Notebook's memory and WLAN module.

The max compacitiy for memory is 16GB but as long as I have a 64-bit version of windows? I don't remember see that as an option when I purchased my laptop.

My laptop's product number is E0J97UA, according to the HP Support Assistant software loaded on my laptop.

Thank you again for all your support !
