Product: pavilion DV6-2147EL WG630EA#ABZ
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi! When opening the BIOS, I noted that my notebook has 4GB RAM. Since I want to upgrade the RAM, i'd like to know how much memory is supported and in which format (how many modules...). Further, I'd like to know where I can download the technical instructions/specs manual. Thanks!

Thank you for your reply, REO51ST.

I'm afraid the Manual you refer to (c01860375) is not applicable to my machine, because the processor of my notebook is: Intel(R) Core (TM) i5 CPU M430 @ 2.27GHz (as it reads when I open the device specs), whereas Manual c01860375  is applicable to machines whose processor is: Intel® CoreT™ i7 mobile processor (see page 1-1, Product Description) . I have tried to search the web for a Manual applicable to my specs, but unfortunately with no results.

Anyway the OS originally installed on my machine was Windows 7, to-day updated to Windows 10 Home, Version 1809 (updated march 11, 2019).

My machine is identified by PRODUCT ID: WG630EA#ABZ. Thank you for possible further help

We see that alot.

 

Do your own search and see what you find???

 

https://support.hp.com/us-en/

 

Enter your Model number "  DV6-2147EL" or  Product number " WG630EA".

 

Look under "USER GUIDES" for your manual.

I have been trying for the whole day on support.hp.com (both in english and in italian).  I have registered too, but I only got generic and useless answers. It's impossible to get the right manual for my model. Thank you all the same, I'm going to give in.

@Mandrakke1 

 

That is the correct manual for your laptop.

 

Did you look past the first few pages to see if the laptop is the same.

 

It does not change the fact only 8GB max.

 

Good luck,
