Max RAM and SSD capacity

[jawknee5]

My wife got me a new laptop for Christmas(hp 15-fd0025st) and I’m trying to upgrade it to the max it can be upgraded. I did the CMD prompt to see max capacity but I’m also seeing online and on this board that HP DDR4 systems can be upgraded to 32gb, even though manuals will say the max is 16. 

The CMD max capacity prompt says the max is 16gb. 

also, is there a max SSD size this laptop can take? Or am I safe to just go big with a 4TB?

Hi:

HP offered NVMe SSD's up to 1 TB in the model series, but that is normally just what HP offered in the model series, not the maximum capacity supported.

The Crucial memory report for your notebook indicates that it will support 2 x 32 GB of memory and they sell NVMe SSD's up to 4 TB for it.

Here is the Service Manual:

Manual 

Since you have the i5 processor you have two memory slots. The Manual and command prompt say 2 x 8 of DDR4-3200 is the max. You likely have a single module currently installed and adding a second 8gb module will very likely give you all the performance you need or can use. I would place a small wager, however, that 2 x 16 would work but hesitate to advise you that way in the face of the Manual and your command prompt response.

As for storage (SSD) the hardware imposes no capacity limit. 4 TB M.2 SSDs are about the largest you can readily find in the market and you could install one of those successfully. Good luck.
