Product: 15-da0042tx
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi,

 

I just purchased a HP Notebook (Model number, 15-da0042tx).

 

I was wondering if HP provides service manuals like Dell does for upgrading or repairing laptops. My laptop is running well now (after I removed the HP bloatware),

 

I was wondering if I'll be able to upgrade the ram and/or hard drive. 

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

Here's the Service Manual:

Memory can be up to 16 x 2 = 32 gigs DDR4-2400 SO-DIMM. You can place a 2.5 inch SATA SSD in place of the slow 5400 rpm mechanical hard drive or keep that drive and really upgrade to an NVME M.2 SSD which is the holy grail of computer storage. The Samsung Evo 970 or 970 Plus is a great option.
