hp 250 G5

Good morning,
I have a hp 250 G5 W4M67EA#ABZ, with 4Gb of ram PC3L-14900S;
I would like to upgrade the pc with as much ram as possible, from the research I have done only 8gb banks can be found;
My computer only has 1 slot, occupied by 4Gb Micron.
Where can I find the list of supported ram?
Can you recommend a compatible ram, maybe I can find it on amazon.

Windows 10.
Thank you very much

Good morning:

 

If your notebook has one memory slot, the slot can only support up to 1 x 8 GB of DDR3L-1600 MHz memory.

 

Below is the link to the service manual.  Chapter 1 has the memory upgrade information.

 

HP Notebook PC (Intel) * Models: 15-ay000 – 15-ay099 * Models: 15-ay100 – 15-ay199HP 250 G5 Notebook...

 

This should be a compatible DDR3L-1600 MHz 8 GB memory chip:

 

Crucial Ram Ct102464Bf160B 8Gb Ddr3L-1600 Sodimm Laptop Memory 1.35 V Cl11, Green : Amazon.it: Compu...

 

If your notebook still has the 2.5" mechanical hard drive installed, you may want to consider replacing that with a much better performing 2.5" SATA solid state drive (SSD).

You're very welcome.

 

I read too many posts from other forum members that for some crazy reason Samsung drives don't always work in HP notebook and desktop PC's.

 

You are free to install a Samsung drive, but I recommend this model which seems to work on almost every PC:

 

This is the 500 GB model for example:

 

WD Blue SA510, 500GB, 2.5" SATA SSD, up to 560MB/s, Includes Acronis True Image for Western Digital,...
