Upgrading RAM

[Cheeche]

I want to upgrde the RAM on my laptop.  Right now I have 8gig.  I want to upgrade it to 16gig.  The specs on the laptop show that it only has one 8gig module.  Two questions -- 1. can it be done?  2. how do I determine the right module to install?

I thought that I could do it by doing a search using either the serial number or the product number -- I didn't have any luck with either.

Thank you for your help.

@Cheeche,

Welcome to our HP community forum!

Your HP Pavilion - 15t-Cc500 CTO is fitted with one 8GB RAM stick: Hynix or Micron DDR4 PC4-19200, 2400 MHz, Non-ECC, Unbuffered, SODIMM, 260-pin with p/n: HMA81GS6AFR8N or MTABATF1G64HZ-2G3B1.

You can add an additional 8GB RAM stick in the empty RAM slot.

I included purchase options for either one.

Kind Regards,

@Cheeche,

Lest I forgot to show you how to find out what RAM you got, please type in: cmd in your Windows search bar, left-click on: Run as administrator, then Yes for permission if you're asked, and then copy/paste/enter:

wmic memorychip get partnumber, speed

On the PC I'm using right now, it will show this:

The part number that will show up is what you got, and for best RAM performance, it is recommended to use identical RAM.
