Storage and Memory Upgrade for HP Notebook Model 14-am052nr

[Emmanuel27]

Hi,

I will like to know if I can add more storage capacity to my laptop with an SD card. The current capacity is only 32 GB and it's not enough. 

If this is possible, what will be the compatible SD for the computer? Also, the memory can be upgrade to 8 GB based on specifications; what would be the compatible part? 

Thanks!

@Emmanuel27 , welcome to the forum.

Here is the memory and SSD's that Crucial Memory recommends for your laptop.  You may have to replace the existing memory to use theirs if it is not compatible.  I suggest that you use CPU-Z to find the brand and timings for the current memory.  Once you have this information, you can contact Crucial's Tech Support for help.

If you don't want to upgrade the SSD, I suggest buying a USB hard drive for backup and storage purposes.  I have two of them that I have used for years.

When Looking at SD cards look for speed Like SDXC Cards with specs U1 or higher like this one... SanDisk 128GB Extreme 
  as for RAM RAM Crucial 8GB Single DDR3 CT102464BF160B  Should work just fine!

But you might want to look in to just replacing the 32GB eMMC with a SSD.. I found a person who was try the same thing HERE!

Thanks for the quick response.

I found that same information previously in my research, I will contact them and ask for the specific memory.

As for the SD, I refer to the little slot that the laptop has below the lower front corner. It saids "SD", what memory card goes in there? can that add more storage capacity to the laptop?
