[Ferfon]

What's the maximum memory for HP Pavilion x360 - 15-bk193ms?

it always came with (1x8)? Can I buy just another one?

Can I use one of these memories:

1) Crucial 8GB Single DDR3/DDR3L 1600 MT/S (PC3-12800) Unbuffered SODIMM 204-Pin Memory - CT102464BF160B

2) Kingston Technology 8GB 1600MHz DDR3L (PC3-12800) 1.35V Non-ECC CL11 SODIMM Intel Laptop Memory KVR16LS11/8

Thanks,

Greetings @Ferfon,

Welcome to HP Forums and Thanks for the post. 

I understand that you are looking to upgrade the RAM on your computer, is that right?

Not to worry, I will be glad to assist you. 

Please click here for the service guide for your computer. 

Refer to page number 2 for the RAM upgrade options. 

It says that the RAM cannot be upgraded and is not accessible to the customer.

Refer to page number 47 for the procedure to replace RAM.

Note: This procedure is only recommended for the authorized service centers. 

Let me know if this helped.

Thanks,

Im page 2 says:

Support for up to 8-GB maximum system memory in the following conƭgurations
● 8192-MB: (8192-MB × 1)
● 6144-MB: (4096-MB + 2048-MB)
● 4096-MB: (4096-MB × 1)

I already have 8gb. It means that even in the authorized service centers I will not be abe to upgrade to 16gb?

Hi,

You are correct, the service manual states that max RAM is 8GB of DDR3L 1600Mhz. However if you look on Crucial site which guarantees there memory upgrades with (money back guarantee) it says that you can upgrade to 16GB. So you could try the upgrade which I believe will work.

Another upgrade you could consider is replacing the mechanical drive with SSD, if will provide a notiveable performance increase in everyday use of the PC.

You can also take a look at these HP videos if you decide to try the upgrade:
