Product: HP Pavilion dv6z-6c00 CTO
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I am wondering if anyone knows what motherboards and AMD processor types can I upgrade to from the current motherboard/AMD processor I currently have now? Right now, I have the original motherboard and AMD chipset (A6) dual graphics (AMD 6520G and AMD 7690M) that came with the laptop. I want to upgrade to A8 or higher, have to ability to upgrade cpu memory to 32GB rather than 16GB, increase HDD to 2TB rather 1TB, increase the combined cpu and descreet video memory from 1.5GB VRAM to higher. 

 

Current hardware config:

cpu: A6-3420M with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics (Quad core)

cpu memory: 6.00GB (2GB and 4GB)

Video RAM: AMD Radeon HD 6520G (512MB) with AMD Radeon HD 7690M (1024MB)

Internal Hard Drive: 596GB

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit) and Windows 10 Pro (64-bit)

 

Thanks,
