Hello, I would like to upgrade this computer with 4 GB of RAM but this memory module is rare PC3L-14900S.
What memory will fit this hardware to expand it to 8 GB?

Hi,

Your notebook supports max 16GB of DDR4 RAM (2x8GB)

You can use 2400MHz RAM which is easier to find. The RAM will run at 1866MHz.

Example:

On page 47 of service manual you can see the steps to upgrade the RAM

Thanks for the quick reply. I was wrong, although there is this memory module in my computer. My computer is an HP 255 G5
X0P40ES # AKD.
The page whose link you entered does not have this model in the search.
As far as I know, there is an AMD A6 processor.

The 255 G5 supports max 16GB of DDR3L 1600MHz RAM (2x8GB)
