Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I need to upgrade a Ram for my laptop. Everything is freezing all the time. I was trying to find out in manual. But all I found that they recommend buy from HP or Crucial without telling me which exacly. Online support Doesnt acknowledge my laptop existance.

It has basic 4/4GB and 6GB is allocated for Laptop use. So I left with 2GB which is too little. I need upgrade for atleast 8x2 GB. I would go for 16x2 but i think it will not support

You're very welcome.

 

I would buy memory that looks the same as what is in your notebook now and what has the same speed and timing specs for best results.

 

You can use this utility that I zipped up and attached below to see the timing specs of your notebook's memory.

 

As you know, you can't change any memory profiles in the BIOS, so stick with what is closest to what is in there now.

 

That is all the advise I can offer.

Thanks for replay. I check manual and I see my laptop support up to 32 GB 2666. I'm intrested in gaming version but there is only 32gb 3200 and 16gb 2666. But I found on Amazon.uk

I presume its also valid. It just for some reason its not shown on Crucial website. I'm right?

Oh I read comments. Crucial ram are without JEDEC and in order to use 2666 I need XMP profile. Im pretty sure my laptop doesn't has it. It's BIOS doesn't even allow me to turn off special keys.

 

Now I'm concerned Crucial are only one who are recommended by manufacturer. But they will not work as Intended with my laptop because of its BIOS

 

So I have to buy not recommended ones and hope it will work ?

Run that utility again and it will tell you how many ranks the memory you have installed now is.

 

Buy whatever ranked memory the report indicates.

 

You will find that info like in the screenshot below for my PC:

According to this site, the memory that is not indicate whether or not it is single or dual rank is also dual rank.

 

CT2K16G4SFRA266 Crucial Laptop Memory (memory4less.com)

 

I checked the Crucial site itself and no rank specification is listed.

It's single. So I will just buy single one
