Ram upgrade

[Rehan1996]

HI guys, im planning to upgrade my ram to 64GB to use FL STUDIO (Music production app). 8GB ram inbuilt on my laptop is not sufficient at all. According to Google, it says my laptop can support up to 64GB. 

Will upgrading my RAM increase the speed and also will there be any additional issues if i upgrade since it is an I5 processor? anything that i need to know and also please recommend which RAM type to purchase

RAM: Yes, you can upgrade to 64GB (2 x 32GB) of RAM using DDR4-3200MHz RAM such as https://eu.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/hp-compaq/hp-15-dw4000   Upgrade RAM from 8GB to 64GB will definitely increase speed of the machine . I can not see any problem with that.

Did you read the second link ? The first link only shows pre-installed RAM options. Heat may increase a bit but that is controllable, for example using notebook/laptop cooler.

Thanks, Is the RAM upgrade sufficient to run FL studio on i5 or is it possible to upgrade the processor? any recommendations?

No, impossible to upgrade integrated CPU/Processor (it is soldered to its system board), if you wish you have to replace the whole system board to a new one (if available) which contains

• New motherboard,
• New CPU & iGPU,
• New GPU,
• New Windows license

Because all 4 parts above are on a piece of hardware called System board.
