RAM upgrade

[ben5456543]

Hello,

I have an Intel Core i7-1355U processor and currently have 16 GB DDR4-3200 MHz RAM (2 x 8 GB). What's the maximum RAM can I upgrade?

Thanks.

Hi:

Chapter 1 of the service manual indicates the max memory is 2 x 8 GB.

Maintenance and Service Guide (hp.com)

The Crucial memory report for the model series indicates that you can install 2 x 32 GB of memory.

Since you have Linux installed, I don't know how you can check your PC by running a command to check the memory capacity.

In Windows, you can run this command to see how much memory your notebook can support:

1. In the search box, search for cmd and click Run as administrator.

This will open the command prompt.

2. After the command prompt is opened, type wmic memphysical get maxcapacityEx and press the Enter key.

There, it will show the maximum RAM capacity your PC's motherboard can support.

The capacity is shown as Kilobytes, so you have to convert it to Gigabytes by dividing the number provided in the report by 1,048,576.

I did check prior on Linux by using dmidecode, and it says the max capacity is 16 GB. I just wanted to make sure. But I think I can trust Crucial on the max memory, Crucial is reliable from what I've read. Thanks.
