I want to know if my laptop has 2 slots for storage and If the RAM I'm planning to buy is compatible

Hi, beginner here, I'm planning to upgrade my HP Laptop 14s-fq1xxx. I want to know:

• If it has another slot for an m.2 SSD or do I only have 1
• What is a compatible SSD (m.2 or NVME)
• Can I insert a DDR5 4800mhz (2x8) RAM in my device?

Thank you!

What is your HP Laptop 14s-fq1xxx  machine ? For example

HP Laptop 14s-fq1121AU

It ONLY has one m.2 SSD slot which supports both M.2 SATA-3 and M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen 3.

For RAM, it supports  DDR4-2400 dual-channel support (DDR4-3200 bridge to DDR4-2666 and DDR-2400). DDR5 RAM won't work

Regards.

Hi, that's exactly my laptop model.

Okay, so I already have a storage built-in, a C Drive with 230GB, I want to know if I can upgrade/add an m.2 SSD or does that built-in storage (C Drive) occupy the only slot I have?

Also, why does this website says that my Laptop is compatible with PCIE 4.0 NVME SSDs? https://www.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/hp-compaq/hp-14-fq1xxx

To check if your laptop has 2 storage slots and if the RAM you're planning to buy is compatible, you need to provide your laptop's model number and the RAM specifications. Additionally, you can refer to your laptop's manual or the manufacturer's website for detailed information on storage slots and RAM compatibility.
