Good day to you!

Could you please specify how much RAM can my motherboard support? Recently I realized that I do need an upgrade for my notebook before I'll be able to get a new more powerful PC. So here the question: can I go for more than 8 GB? And I would appreciate any more bits of advice on how else my notebook could be upgraded. And please, oh please, help me choose the proper internal SSD, coz on Crucial there is no my model. And, besides, can I do the swap: put in internal SSD instead of existing HDD, and use that HDD via USB to SATA cable as an external one?  I'm completely lost now.

Thank you.

And, yeah, I've just updated my question -- didn't see your answer.

Your manual has 3 CPU's for your model.

 

You can upgrade to AMD A10-4600M.

 

Look in your manual.

 

Page 16.

 

That is the fastest for the Socket FS1 (FS1r2) microprocessor, based on Trinity core.
