Maximum RAM Capacity for HP-F387WM Laptop

[PootisEvolution]

Hello HP Community, 

I was browsing around online seeing if I could update my HP Notebook 15 (F387WM) laptop past 8 GB of RAM. I'm not totally sure if the website I was looking at is accurate, so I just wanted to post a question here to be certain.

Can my HP Laptop be upgraded past  8 GB in RAM or am I stuck at 8?

Thanks in advance,

Ian Fettes

Hi Ian,

Your notebook supports max 16GB of DDR3L 1600MHz RAM(2x8GB) even if service manual mentions 8GB

You can purchase from your preferred brand

Example:

https://www.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/hp---compaq/hp-15-f387wm#memory

On page 29 of service manual you can see the steps to install the RAM

Another upgrade you should perform that would be to replace the Hard Drive with a 2.5" SATA3 SSD. It would give a great boost in performance in everyday usage.

Hope it helps,

David

Thank you guys, I was deeply confused because the service manual says 8 GB max and the Crucial scan says 16 GB. I understand now. And I do actually have a SSD drive, and that helps a lot! 😄

Anyway, sorry, bad day. But I just now see that it has been solved by Mod.

Thanks and all the best to you in these strange times.

On a lighter note " I do not think Man, Woman, and Kids are meant to be together 24/24 and 7/7". The freedom of work. 😀

and as you say keep well.
