HP Pavilion - 15-cc547tx
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi there

My laptop is 

HP Pavilion - 15-cc547tx

My ram is

8 GB DDR4-2133 SDRAM (1 x 8 GB)

With 2 slots as per picture 

Im looking to add another 8gb ram.

Can you please suggest a ram upgrade for compatiblity.

Also, i would like to know if my video graphics card can be upgraded easily, and will i be able to play video games with nice graphics. Card is NVIDIA® GeForce® 940MX (2 GB DDR3 dedicated) 

Ive already ordered an ssd 1tb to replace my 1tb hdd. And figured i may as well upgrade some more things while im at it. I would like to play video games.

The RAM is DDR4 2400 and the HP part number, if you buy it from HP, is . However you can also purchase that RAM at Crucial here. As for the video, the GPU is integrated on the motherboard and cannot be upgraded. Actually for that model I believe the 940MX was the only GPU option.

Thanks for the awesome reply, will i be able to use a bx500 2tb sata ssd 2.5"  with my laptop ??? Or is 2tb too much 

HP Recommended

As per the Crucial site a 2 TB SATA 2.5" SSD is compatible and should be fine.

And does this laptop jave a pci slot ?? I would be able to play the graphics card in somehow

HP Recommended

Laptops are not like desktops. Everything is integrated due to a lack of space. The GPU you have is the only option. You cannot add a GPU in the system as the MB has no option for it.

8GB DDR4-2400 SODIMM 1.2V CL17

This is the ram i bought, do you think it will be compatible for my laptop

HP Recommended

It should be though the RAM will always run at the speed of the slowest RAM you have installed, in this case 2133. The ideal way to purchase RAM is a kit of compatible modules. In your case 2 x DDR4 2400 8 GB modules. That way you will have dual channel RAM with guaranteed compatibility.
