Upgradability options for HP OMEN 15 (2020)

[AFourTeen]

Greetings,

I have recently ordered HP OMEN 15 (2020) laptop with AMD Ryzen 4800h, gtx 1660ti, 4x2 GB 3200Mhz RAM and 512 GB M.2 NVMe storage. I am really happy about the GPU and CPU, but I plan to upgrade the RAM and Storage in near future.

My question is, what is the maximum RAM supported in its motherboard in dual channel mode. And if i plan to max out the storage by using both  M.2 slots and removing the 512 gb storage, what is the maximum capacity i can upgrade to. Thanks for your valuable time 😄

Hi:

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook's model series.

The memory and storage upgrade info can be found in chapter 1.

2 x 16 GB of memory and up to a 1 TB NVMe SSD are supported, though it appears that HP left out the 2 x 16 GB memory configuration.

Thanks for the heads up. Does that 1 TB mean I can only add another 512 GB of M.2 NVMe SSD for a total of 1TB or I can use 1TB per slot for total of 2TB Storage? Thanks 😄

You're very welcome.

You may want to make sure the notebook actually has two M.2 slots before ordering a second M.2 SSD.

Even though the manual indicates there may be two M.2 slots, some folks have reported only 1 M.2 slot on other model notebooks.

If it has two M.2 slots, I assume you could use 2 x 1 TB M.2 SSD's.

The 2 x 256GB SSD's are probably what HP only offered for dual storage configurations.

Ordered the same Omen 15 last week HP stills says no stock delivery around 31st July, planning to upgrade the memory to 2x 16GB and get a 1TB SSD will wait a few weeks to test out the laptop first.

Then we ordered at the same time. Do share your experience while upgrading later and the links to Buy ssd and ram upgrades. Cheers 😄
