Laptop is very slow , want to upgrade the RAM and SSD

[dannny62]

My laptop is HP Laptop 15-da0xxx ,Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-7100U CPU @ 2.40GHz 2.40 GHz , 4GB of installed RAM , doesn't have SSD , so it is very slow when I use 2-3 apps while coding , so want to upgrade , but I dont know whether to upgrade RAM or SSD and I dont know it has  a SSD slot or not . If RAM , then specify which type of RAM & what size (specs like DDR ,Please mention) , and SSD then which SSD.

Hi:

See chapter 1 of the maintenance and service guide for the memory and SSD upgrade info.

HP 15 Laptop PC Maintenance and Service Guide

Your notebook has two memory slots and can support up to 2 x 8 GB of DDR4-2133 MHz memory.

Most folks install DDR4-2400 memory in notebooks with the Intel 7th gen core processors because it is easier to find.

The faster memory will automatically bridge to 2133 MHz because that is as fast as your notebook's processor can run the memory at.

Your notebook has a M.2 slot that supports both NVMe and SATA SSD's.

NVMe SSD's have faster read/write speeds than SATA SSD's have.

All of those products should work fine, but for the 2.5" Crucial MX500...do you plan on replacing the 2.5" mechanical hard drive as well?

The Crucial DDR4-3200 memory will also automatically bridge to 2133 MHz.

if so, then that one should work fine.
