Pavilion g6-2217cl
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hey there, I'm looking to upgrade the RAM and CPU/GPU on my Pavilion G6. Below are my current specs;

 

Laptop Model: HP Pavilion G6-2217cl

Operating System: Windows 10 Home (x64)

Current RAM: 6 GB (2 slots used)

CPU/GPU: AMD A8-4500 APU with Radeon HD Graphics

 

What possibilities do I have to upgrade?

If any more information is needed, I'll be happy to provide it.

It supports up to 8 gigs of memory and the processor can be upgraded to an A10-4600M. Here is the Manual:

There is no video card to upgrade, but for the AMD A series models the video is contained in the processor itself so an upgrade of the processor also carries with it an upgrade for the video from HD 7640G to HD 7660G. This would be slight but somewhat noticeable and the clock speed would go from 2.8 ghz to 3.2 ghz which is also not huge but noticeable. Memory is a DDR3-1600 module and you could replace your 2 gig with a 4 gig to go from 6 to 8.

 

Memory upgrade is easy peasy...CPU/APU upgrade not so much.
