Hey All,
So I am planning to upgrade RAM and Storage capacity for my Laptop. The main concern here is to make my Laptop fast (more responsive). I was wondering if I can upgrade my HDD to 2.5 inch SSD but according to the laptop "Maintenance & Service Guide" there are 3 HDD which are mentioned 2-TB, 5400 rpm, 9.5 mm/7.2 mm, 1-TB, 7200 rpm, 9.5 mm/7.2 mm and 1-TB, 5400 rpm, 9.5 mm. So do I have an option to upgrade my storage to 2.5 inch SSD (probably I am gonna go for SAMSUNG 860 EVO if possible)?
Moreover, for RAM it's mentioned that this laptop can only support maximum of 16gb RAM (8gb x 2). I have read in the forum that we can go upto 32gb of RAM. Is that correct?
A response from a HP GUY will be highly appreciated.Thanks
Regards,
Hassan
