Product: HP 250 G3 K3W9EA#ABB
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)

Hi!

I have a notebook HP 250 G3 K3W92EA and I want to upgrade the RAM Memory and the HDD.

Can anyone tell me what type of RAM should I buy to be completely functionable for it?

I don't know if this notebook has one or two slots of RAM. As I read, I found out that it has one slot of RAM DDR3 1600mhz. Can I mount a SODIMM of 8GB DDR3 1600mhz or it will die with his cantity of 4GB? I use the Laptop for Office Tasks, Internet Browsing and watching movies. But I want to start editing photos in Adobe Photoshop.

I'm thinking to buy a better HDD with 7200rpm or a SSD for performance. What's your opinion?

Also, is it worth this upgrade or may I wait and save money to buy another one over a few years? 

 

Thank you very much!

Supports up to 8 GB of system RAM.

 

A good 512GB SSD and 8GB of memory would be a good improvement.

 

No chance of upgrading the CPU. "Soldered to the system board."

 

Your manual here.

Sorry but the memory is on the underside of the system board.
