RAM and M.2 upgrade for HP Pavilion Gaming 15-ec2027nm

[RonaldHR]

Hello!

So I bought used laptop from my friend and since I find it good for gaming I realized I need more storage, but whoud like to have some more RAM but can't find any manuals for this model.
So basically I am not shure what kind of M.2 shoud I use, what kind of HDD/SSD shoud I use and what is maximum RAM capacity for this laptop, so I came here,

Thanks in advance!

Hi:

The notebook supports 2 x 16 GB of DDR4-3200 CL22 memory.

The notebook supports NVMe SSD's.

You can go up to 4 TB if you want as long as the SSD is single-sided.

The NVMe slot is PCIe Gen 3.0.

Unfortunately, HP only has the service manual for the 15-ec0xxx model series but it should be of some help with taking apart the notebook.

There is slight problem, I can't find slot for M.2 SSD

That is very interesting...

The product specs indicate that it came with a 512 GB M.2 NVMe SSD.

The NVMe drive is probably underneath the right side of that black plastic covering on the bottom left side of your screenshot.

The memory is probably underneath the left side of that black covering.
