Is the RAM soldered or upgradeable in the HP 15-ef1011la (310D2LA)?

[eda66]

Hello. I've been looking for this info online but i haven't been able to find anything definitive. I'm looking to buy the HP-EF1011LA. I know this specific model comes with a single stick of 8 gbs of DDR4 RAM, but what i cannot find is wether the ram is soldered or can be replaced (or wether there's another empty slot to add an additional stick). I'd appreciate any help, thanks.

Hi:

Unfortunately, this is the only service manual available for the model series at this time.

Maintenance and Service Guide HP 15 Laptop PC

Here is the service teardown video for the 15-ef0xxx model series.

The memory would be removable.

Your notebook should support 2 x 16 GB of DDR4-3200 memory.

You can do this to confirm...

1. In the search box, search for cmd and click Run as administrator.

This will open the command prompt.

2. Once command prompt is opened, type wmic memphysical get maxcapacityEx and hit enter.

There, it will show the maximum RAM capacity your PC's motherboard can support.

The capacity is shown as Kilobytes, so you have to convert it to Gigabytes by dividing the number provided in the report by 1,048,576.

I'm pretty sure you will find that it supports 2 x 16 GB of DDR4-3200 memory.

This would be a compatible 16 GB DDR4-3200 memory chip.
