Hardware upgrade for HP Pavilion 15-cc054tx

[NayeemHSN]

I have an HP Pavilion 15-cc054tx with the factory version of the RAM. I want to upgrade the RAM but 2133MHz RAM is not available in my country now, so which one can I use instead of 2133MHz? And also Is there an M.2 SATA port on my laptop? Can I use that to add SSD to my laptop?

Seeking Experts Answers I am really in a tight spot now.

Thanks in advance.

Hi:

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.

Chapter 1 has the memory upgrade info and supported drive types.

The M.2 slot supports SATA M.2 SSD's, not NVMe.

DDR4-2133 memory is pretty hard to find anywhere.

You can use DDR4-2400 memory, which is still widely available.

2 x 8 GB is supported.

Some people suggested me to use DDR4-2666 memory instead of 2400 they are saying that 2666 is compatible with 2133. And is it really safe to use 2400 instead of 2133 because I already have one 2133 in slot 1 and now if I use 2400 in slot 2 will there be any problem?

Hi:

Yes, you can use 2666 MHz memory or 2400 MHz memory.  The memory automatically bridges to 2133 MHz to match the processors 2133 MHz FSB speed.

As long as you find a recommended compatible memory chip, you can add either a 2400 or 2666 MHz memory chip to the existing 2100 MHz chip.

What I suggest you try and do would be to find one of the compatible Crucial memory chip part numbers recommended for your notebook in the report at the link below...
