Ram memory increase in laptops

[RogerVE]

Hello, I have an HP Pavilion 15cs2073cl and I would like to know if I can increase the memory from 16 to 32 GB

I currently have 12 in use and I do not want it to reach the limit

Hi:

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.

Maintenance and Service Guide HP Pavilion 15 Laptop PC

According to chapter 1, the max memory is 2 x 8 GB.

Usually, notebooks that have Intel 8th generation core processors and two memory slots like your notebook can support 32 GB of memory (2 x 16 GB).

You can do this to confirm 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. Once command prompt is opened, type wmic memphysical get maxcapacityEx and hit enter.

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.

The Crucial memory report for your notebook indicates that it can support 2 x 16 GB of memory.

I recommend you buy the first memory chip listed (16 GB DDR4-2400).

Hello, Thank very much Paul, I already executed the command and it supports 32 GB of ram memory (2x16GB)

You're very welcome.

Checking the availability of the card in my location, I only have Crucial 16GB DDR4-3200 SODIMM memories available and the page says that it is compatible. But your recommendation is 2400. What can I do?

[Paul_Tikkanen]

You should be fine with the Crucial DDR4-3200 memory.

It will automatically bridge to 2400 MHz.
