I want upgrade my RAM

[dmarredondo]

Hello community, I would like to upgrade the RAM of my laptop, it came with 16GB DDR5 4800 MHz in 2 memories with 8GB each one. I want to buy two of 16 GB each one to get a total of 32GB. Looking for that I found some with 5600 MHz, it is posible install that one or it has to be 4800 MHz too? And the other thing  is wish brands can you”ll recommend me, the mines are SK Hynix but I don’t find it, there are other like Samsung, Corsair and Crucial. Thanks for your help

Hi:

According to the Crucial memory report for your notebook's model series, it will support up to 2 x 32 GB of DDR5 memory, so you should be able to install 2 x 16 GB of memory.

The model series supports DDR5-4800 MHz.

DDR5-5600 MHz memory would work fine but it will only run at a maximum speed of 4800 MHz because that is as fast as any of the processors offered in the model series can run the memory at.

HP only has the service manual for the previous model series, but it may be of help with opening up the notebook to upgrade the memory.
