Upgrading latop

[AverageBoy19]

Hello everyone I'm new here.So I have a HP Laptop and i bought 8GB DDR4 ram for it.It already has 8GB installed.So I bought more which would give it 16GB altogether.But I can't find any videos on how to take the back or front off to install the new memory for it.Can someone point me to a video on how to take it apart to install the new memory?I tried looking on Youtube and came up with nothing for the make and model of my HP laptop.So I stopped and didn't wanna completely ruin my laptop lol.I cant afford to take it anywhere and have someone do it.So I kinda wanna do this myself on the cheap side.As I'm on a fixed income and I did call around and the prices are way out of my budget.So I figure I would post here and maybe someone can find a video with the same make and model of my laptop which would help me.Or similar to my HP laptop.Maybe someone from HP can help me.Thank you

Hi:

What is the full model number or product number of your notebook?

Find Your HP Laptop Name, Product Number, or Serial Number | HP Notebooks | HP Support

You can also find your PC's product number by clicking on the search icon on your Windows taskbar.

Type: System Information

The System information app should show up.

Run the app and the product number of your PC will be found on the System SKU line about 1/4 of the way down on the report.

The safest approach is to follow a step-by-step disassembly guide for laptops with similar layouts. Focus on removing the bottom panel carefully using a screwdriver, grounding yourself to avoid static damage, and gently sliding the RAM into its slot. If unsure, a trusted laptop repair guide or professional service can safely walk you through the process, even on a budget. Doing it right ensures your laptop runs smoothly with the upgraded 16GB memory.
