Hi,

Where is the question? I guess only the title.

 

Anyway, you can upgrade to max 32GB of DDR4 2666MHz RAM (2x16GB) even if service manual mentions 16GB

There are two slots.

Example:

https://www.crucial.com/usa/en/compatible-upgrade-for/HP-Compaq/pavilion-gaming-15-%28models-15-cx00...

On page 43 of the service manual, you can see how to install the RAM

http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c05985643

 

You can insert an M2 PCIe NVMe SSD such as the M2 Samsung 970 Evo Plus of your desired capacity (no limit) which will give a great boost to performance.

Examples:

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-970-EVO-Plus-MZ-V7S1T0B/dp/B07MFZY2F2/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2A8G0Z1WGQMTQ&k...

https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-500GB-NAND-NVMe-PCIe/dp/B07J2WBKXF/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=crucial+p...

 

On page 45 of the service manual, you can see the steps to install the drive.

You will need to reinstall the OS on the SSD.

 

Hope it helps,

David
