Hello Team,

I would like to upgrade RAM and SSD. How to find which capacity will be compatible ?.

My maximum requirements:

Memeory / Ram :- 32 GB

SSD :- 512GB

Hi:

You can install a 512 GB NVMe SSD or more if you want.

With NVMe SSDs theoretically there is no limit to the storage capacity as long as the drive is single-sided so it fits in the M.2 slot.

32 GB of memory:

Chapter 1 of the service manual indicates the maximum memory is 1 x 16 GB.

It is doubtful that the notebook would support a 32 GB memory chip.

You can run this command and if it doesn't report the notebook will support 64 GB of memory, then a 32 GB memory chip won't work.

The report will pick up the circuitry for two memory slots and probably report 32 GB is the max, which equates to a 16 GB memory chip in the slot.

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 press the enter key.

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.
