can't seem to find Ram compatible with my hp laptop model

[1Heddy_Krinkle]

Hello,

I recently purchased an hp laptop 15-ef3097nr from the hp website and would like the upgrade the RAM. However when running a scan on the crucial website no results return.

Also, when trying to register my product on the support dashboard, it appears the scan through hp finds a slightly different model, something along the lines of HP 15-e3000 series, which also does not seem to appear on the crucial website.

However crucial finds memory for the ef2097nr model, so perhaps that's compatible with mine too?

Basically would like to add 1x 16gb stick of DDR4 3200 to my notebook.

Not sure if anyone has any experience with this or has a more solid idea of what might be going on, but any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi:

You should be fine using the report from the 15-ef2097nr.

It has the same processor series as your model has.

HP Laptop 15-ef2097nr Product Specifications | HP® Customer Support

This would be the 16 GB memory chip you want to install...

Crucial 16GB DDR4-3200 SODIMM | CT16G4SFRA32A | Crucial.com

Below is the link to the service manual for the older 15-ef0xxx model series which may be of help to open up the notebook to install the memory.

HP does not have a service manual for the 15-ef3xxx model series at this time.
