Product: HP 17-cd0506na
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Just got one of these and fancy getting the most I can out of it. Couple of quickies, anyone seen a youtube vid they can link to to remove the bottom. Looks fiddly and I don't want to break anything gettting it off.

 

Secondly, I can obviously run something like the crucial tool for getting RAM suggestions. But does anyone know the exact RAM model that's installed on these. I may be scrimping but makes sense to me to just get another 8gb stick to match the existing one rather than risk any possible ram compatibilityissues. Obviously I could just get 2 x 8gb matching crucial ones, but that's another £30+.

 

Thanks for any help.

Hi:

 

HP uses whatever memory they have at the time.

 

I have zipped up and attached a free utility below that should tell you the manufacturer of the memory, amongst other details.

 

Here is the link to the service manual where you can find the memory upgrade info and the disassembly procedures.
