Upgrade to 12GB RAM

[vsreddy]

Hi,

My Compaq 15-s103TX notebook PC has only 4GB if RAM and I was wondering if I can upgrade it to 12GB? I know it has one free slot according to the specs: http://support.hp.com/hk-en/document/c04519551

Thanks

Hi vsreddy,

Welcome to HP Support Forums! Looking at the specs for you computer, I see it only is made for 4GB of RAM. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hope this helps! Have a nice day! Justin L.

Thank you for the quick reply.

But the specs say that there is only one slot is used for 4GB.

Does that mean the board has no extra slot for RAM?

Thanks

Correct, it is made for one 4GB of RAM. No open slots.

Hi,


Your laptop came with Intel Core i3-4005U processor and you're running Windows 8.1 64 bit.

2 slots are present in your model.

@vsreddy  and  @Jackson121211

If you have a Core processor then you should have 2 slots.

I ran a tool as well to find out there are two slots in the PC.

Thank you so much visruth 🙂

I guess I can push my PC upto 16GB now.

You're very welcome.

Get two 8gb sticks of exact same configuration, speed, voltage as given in manual.

I prefer crucial online scanner to give listed compatible sticks.
