RAM upgrade laptop 15-eh0512nd

Hi, I have a laptop type 15-eh0512nd with 8Gb RAM. Is it possible to upgrade to 16Gb?

If you have a single 8gb stick the best to do is obtain a second one of the same exact match: same size and rank.

An easy way to find what memory you have is to run the wmic app from the windows command prompt. Bring up the window CMD prompt and enter the first line to see what memory you have. The second line may give the maximum memory possible based on the chipset. The number of memory sockets limit what can be added.

wmic memorychip get devicelocator, capacity, speed, MemoryType, formfactor, partnumber, manufacturer

wmic memphysical get maxcapacityEx, MemoryDevices

Should look something like the following. To purchase identical memory search for the part number shown and look for the letters 'HP' on any label attached to the memory stick.

The above values are in bytes. Divide by 1024 twice to get megabytes.
8589934592/(1024*1024) = 8192mb or 8gb

The output of maxcapacityEx is Kbytes, not bytes.

Note that some older systems do not recognize maxcapacityEx even when running latest Windows.

Use browser to search for the manufacturer part number.  Be sure to include ebay, amazon, etc, to get the best price.

if you want to go to 32gb then buy a pair of 16 from a company that allows returns such as crucial

Thanks BeemerBiker.

I found out I have 2 sockets each with 4Gb. 

How to find out the right 8Gb stick?
