[melindahp]

Hi.I have a hp pavilion 17 g7w65ea notebook

I would like to upgrade my ramsThe laptop has 4gb ram.

Can anyone advice what is the maximum ram that it can take?

How can I find the ram that works for it,that is compatible and will be compatible with the current rams?

I know that it has ddr3,I ran a test on cpu-z,looks to have two slots,in one slot has 4gb ram the second slot is empty.

Thank you

Your machine is an HP Pavilion 17-f010sv. I can't find its specs and manuals for the HP Pavilion 17-f0xx series. But from a similar machine, which is an HP Pavilion 17-f037cl notebook

     https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c04301880

which supports 16GB of RAM as shown

That means you can

• add 4GB more slot 2 to have 8GB
• or  add 8GB more to to slot 2 to have 12GB
• or replace both slots with 8GB each.

Above link shows you compatible RAM. You can use above information to buy similar RAM

Regards.

Here's the Manual:

Manual

Uses DDR3L-1600 SO-DIMM. The "L" means low voltage 1.35 volts not 1.5 volt. The memory @banhien  recommended is the correct type.
