Max memory upgrade

[Phillip_W]

Hello,

I want to upgrade the memory in my 13 YO HP laptop, but I am finding conflicting information. 

I currently have 2 x 4Gb = 8 GB ,and I wish to install 2 x 8 Gb =16 Gb.

I am using windows 10 home 64 bit 22H2.

It has an Intel Core i7 2630QM @ 2.00GHz.

I know it is an old laptop but I think extra RAM will make it faster as it currently hangs a bit.

Is 8 or 16 Gb the maximum RAM ?

or, Should I just give up on this Laptop and buy a replacement ?

Hi:

The dv6-6xxx notebooks with the Intel core processors support 2 x 8 GB of memory.

See chapter 1 of the service manual for the memory upgrade info:
