Memory Upgrade for my 15t-dy200

[Darkmj]

I just need to know if my HP 15t-dy200 laptop can be upgraded from 16 gig to 32 gig of memory.

Hi:

Since HP only has the service manual for the older model series on your notebook's support page, you can do this to see how much memory your notebook can support:

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

This will open the command prompt.

2. Once 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.

Officially the max is 16 gigs but as long as you have the Intel Core processor series and not the lower level Pentium or Celeron, 32 gigs will work. You can make yourself more comfortable on that by running this from the command line

Windows users can determine the maximum RAM capacity in the Command prompt with the command below. It gives the final value in kilobytes which can be converted to gigabytes (divide the value by 1048576 to convert KB to GB).

wmic memphysical get MaxCapacity, MemoryDevices

The above example shows that my maximum RAM capacity is 8 GB. If your motherboard has two memory slots, it means the maximum RAM capacity per slot is 8 / 2 = 4 GB
