Hi:

Below is the link to the crucial memory report for your model.

2 x 8 GB is the max.

Sir you mean 16gb ram supported

[Paul_Tikkanen]

That is correct.

8 GB max in each slot, two slots = 16 GB total.

4gb ram pre installed on laptop can I install another 8gb ram on second slot

Hi:

Yes, you can do that, but eventually I recommend you go to 2 x 8 GB, and here's why...

The memory will run in the higher performing dual data rate (DDR) mode with matching capacities (2 x 4, 2 x 8).

When you install memory in mismatched capacities (4 + 8, 2 + 4), the memory runs in the lower performing single data rate (SDR) mode.

Can I use pre install 4gb and another 4gb single module ram or use 8 gb ram kit or 16 gb ram kit

[Paul_Tikkanen]

If your goal is to eventually max out the memory, it would be a waste of money to buy another 4 GB memory chip, just to remove both of them and replace with 2 x 8 GB.

Better to either buy 2 x 8 GB now, or add 1 x 8 GB, live with 12 GB for a while and if money is a problem, save up to get the second 8 GB memory module and buy it when you can afford it.

But buying a 4 GB chip now would be throwing good money after bad.

I would only buy a second 4 GB memory module if I never planned on ever going beyond 8 GB of memory.

Sir are you sure hp 15 ac 101tu 2016 model support 16gb ram

[Paul_Tikkanen]

100% sure you can install 2 x 8 GB.

The service manual is wrong, where it shows the max is 8 GB.

If you can put 8 GB in one slot as it shows, then you can put 8 GB in two slots.
