Upgrade my SSD M.2 and RAM

[RimuruB]

Hello, lately my SSD is quite full and I was thinking of getting a new one, I would like to ask if my laptop is compatible to improve its capacity, I found this SSD: Western Digital 1TB WD Blue SN570 NVMe Internal Solid State Drive SSD - Gen3 x4 PCIe 8Gb /s, M.2 2280, Up to 3,500 MB/s - WDS100T3B0C, this could be used to replace the original 258gb M.2 SSD or what would be the appropriate one to use, I was also planning to increase my current 16gb RAM to a higher amount if it were possible, thank you very much for the time to all who respond.

Hi:

I don't see any reason why the WD Blue SN570 1 TB drive wouldn't work.

HP only has the service manual for the older 15-ec0xxx models on your notebook's support page and chapter 1 shows that HP offered NVMe SSD's up to 1 TB in storage capacity.

Chapter 1 also indicates that 2 x 16 GB of memory is supported.

Your notebook uses DDR4-3200 memory.

This is the 32 GB memory kit that Crucial recommends for your notebook:

Hi,

In case you are still looking, try this Kingston site:

RAM, Memory Card & SSD Upgrades | Genuine Kingston Products (kingstonmemoryshop.co.uk)

I have an 8-year-old desktop that had a slow HDD. I used this Kingston shopping site to find a large and fast SSD, which was sold together with a kit to transfer the old disk to the new SSD.  It worked, and my PC runs now like a dream.
