Hi all.
I have just upgraded to Windows 10 on my Dv7 6030ew (LK784EA#AKD) and I was wondering HOW MUCH RAM CAN I INSTALL and what kind, so it still work with the motherboard?
According to the original specification it is no more than 8 GB but maybe with the new OS it could be 16GB??
cheers

8 gigs is the max ONLY on AMD. On Intel it is 16 gigs and this is an Intel model.
Here is the Manual:
Supports the following configurations: ● 16384-MB total system memory (8192×2)
It supports 16 gigs of RAM
Memory modules (2, DDR3, 10600, 1333-MHz) 8 GB (for use only with computer models equipped with an Intel processor) 634091-001
"How to" on page 61 of the Manual.

The following specs says 8GB max:
Page 5 of the fisrt manual on the following link shows you RAM type
Page 61 shows you part number and how to add/replace RAM. You can use part number to buy from HP or elsewhere

wow, thank you for your reply.
I just wanted to make sure, because on page of the manual it says: Supports up to 8192 GB of system RAM and as you have mentioned, on page 6 the configuration is 16384-MB total system memory (8192×2) which makes all together 16GB of RAM.
Is there a chance there is a mistake in the manual and the 16 gb value is simply wrong?
