Hi:

I would definitely upgrade to a NVMe SSD.

16 MB of memory should be enough for most folks' needs.

See chapter 1 of the service manual for the supported drive types.

Maintenance and Service Guide HP Pavilion 15 Laptop PC

If you want to do both, you can probably install 2 x 16 GB of DDR4-2400 memory in your notebook, but I suggest you run this command first to get confirmation:

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

This will open the command prompt.

2. After the 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.

If the report indicates 33,xxx,xxx, then I recommend two of these memory chips:
