Product: 15s du2040tu
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi, I am planning to upgrade my laptop's RAM and Internal storage. My Hp15s du2040tu comes with an installed 8 GB DDR4-2666 SDRAM, I am planning to add one more 8 GB RAM if upgradable. And it comes with 1 TB 5400 rpm SATA HDD. I am planning to upgrade to 1TB SSD if upgradeable. So is it possible to upgrade my laptop, if yes please recommend me which RAM and SSD should I buy. And also tell me that can I be able to upgrade myself or need to go to the nearest HP store. Appreciate if you can put a link to a video of how to remove the back plate of HP 15s du2040tu laptop. 

 

Thank you 

Yajvin

1. RAM: You can upgrade to 16GB, 32GB or 64GB :

      (a)  16GB: simply add same existing 8GB to slot 2 or using the following RAM (will run at 2666MHz)

                    https://eu.crucial.com/memory/ddr4/ct8g4sfra32a/ct18626512

      (b) 32GB install 16GB each to both slots using the following RAM (will run at 2666MHz)

                    https://eu.crucial.com/memory/ddr4/bl2k16g32c16s4b/ct18536600

2. STORAGE: You can replace existing 2.5" HDD with 2.5" SSD drive. But it is much better to add 1TB M.2 NVMe to your machine using
