According to chapter 1 of the service manual, your notebook has two memory slots and can support 2 x 8 GB of DDR4-2400 CL17 memory.

Maintenance and Service Guide HP 15 Laptop PC

You can also install DDR4-2666 CL19 or DDR4-3200 CL22 memory, but it is all going to run at a max speed of 2400 MHz because that is as fast as your notebook's processor can run the memory at.

If you were wanting to install more than 2 x 8 GB of memory, you can run this command to see if that would be possible:

1. In the search box, search for cmd and click Run as administrator.

This will open the command prompt.

2. Once command prompt is opened, type wmic memphysical get maxcapacityEx and press the enter key.

There, it will show the maximum RAM capacity your PC's motherboard can support.

The capacity is shown as Kilobytes, so you have to convert it to Gigabytes by dividing the number provided in the report by 1,048,576.

According to cmd it will support 32gb, but will a low cl16 2x16gb work? Thanks

[Paul_Tikkanen]

I doubt it.

HP installed a CL22 memory chip in your notebook.

There's no settings in the BIOS to adjust the memory XMP.

Feel free to try a CL16 memory chip but you have been advised of the risk of it not working.

A 2x16gb 3200mhz cl22 kit will be fine then?

[Paul_Tikkanen · Accepted solution]

Yes.
