Product: Pavilion g6
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My hp pavilion G6 laptop too slow while using some software development  applications so I decided to upgrade  ram 2gb to 16gb but laptop motherboard support maximum ram upgradation is 8gb so is possible to use 16 gb ram on this laptop.

Hi:

 

You can do this to see if your notebook's motherboard can support 2 x 8 GB of memory...

 

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 maxcapacity and hit enter. There, it will show the maximum RAM capacity your 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.
