Omen Laptop Ram and GOU upgrade questions

[Brad-NBO]

Hi,

I have a OMEN HP Laptop 17-ck1020nr

I found out I only have 2 ram slots from diagnostic check but I thought there might have been 4.

I have 32gb (2x16gb Crucial Technology 4800 Mhz simms and wanted to upgrade to at least 64gb. 

Does anyone know what the ram size limit is? I didn't check online if there were 64gb simms yet, only looked at 32gb simms so far but I am curious how much Ram I can upgrade to.

Should I stick with the 4800 MHz or go up to 5600? There's only a $1 difference in price, lol. The processor is Intel Core i7-12700H, system board 8A17 32.25, if that helps determine the ram speed one can go to.

Any other brands to consider?

I also currently have a  NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop GPU and wondered if I could upgrade that as well. Not sure what the limits are or how to find out.

Thanks

I can not find its official specs but

1. It only has 2 slots of RAM, some HP mobile workstations have 4

2. You can upgrade to 64GB of RAM

3. It uses 4800 MHz DDR5 RAM, you may be install higher speed RAM but it will run at 4800 MHz

4. Crucial is a very popular vendor   https://www.crucial.com/scanview/b8987cb031d926c3

For the video card, that is impossible because it is soldered to its system board. You have to buy new system board which  contains

    (a) Motherboard,

    (b) CPU with integrated video,

    (c) Dedicated Video card ,

    (d) Operating system (you can't reuse old license).

All above 4 components are on one piece of hardware called System board.

Regards.

Thanks for the reply and info.

I also tried to find if I have 2 SSD slots without opening the laptop. Is there a way to verify the number of slots.

I looked at Task Manager and it shows the SSD C: drive but did not indicate if there was an empty slot.

I also tried Crucial's scan website but it failed to work. I've been searching all over HP and through my System info but have no way of confirming if I have 2 SSD slots.

Do you know of a way to check without opening up the laptop by any chance?

Thanks
