Maximum allowed ram

[sunchais]

Hello,

Recently I decided to upgrade my laptop by removing the old set of RAM (1x4GB and 1x2GB) and installing a bit more than that.

However, I don't know how much RAM is the maximum allowed amount that will run on this laptop.

I tried finding the answer to this questions in every possible way, but unfortunately I couldn't.

Could you please advise, thank you.

Laptop name is: HP 15 Notebook PC

Product Number is: K6Y69EA#AKS

Best Regards,

Sunny.

Would PC3 instead of PC3L be harmful to my laptop, because I am not able to find PC3L in my country only PC3 12800 ddr 3 sticks

@banhien

Would two of those sticks be good for my laptop?

The Hyperx is 1.35 volt but sometimes it will not work because it has more aggressive timings. Probably OK though it will just operate like OEM memory.
