[KapilDeo]

Hi Tech Team,

I have this product(laptop - i3 5th gen, 8GB RAM (DDR3 1600MHz with FormFactor - SODIMM).

Now I want to upgrade this with :-

i5 12th Gen, 512GB/1TB SSD and 32GB RAM DDR4/DDR5.

Please tell me the exact specifications/ Type/Form factor/ Type of compatible RAM (DDR3/DDR4 with its Bus speed) which I can opt for upgrading.

Please tell me the maximum limit that I can upgrade with.

Thanks

Hi:

You can only upgrade your PC to the limits listed in the service manual.

HP Notebook PC (Intel) * Models: 15-ay000 – 15-ay099 * Models: 15-ay100 – 15-ay199HP 250 G5 Notebook...

The only upgrade you can do would be to remove the existing 2.5" mechanical hard drive and replace it with a 2.5" SSD.

Your notebook supports 2 x 8 GB of DDR3L-1600 memory.

Hi Paul,

As per the Model number mentioned in the service manual, my model number does not falls in this series. This manual is only for Ay000-Ay099  and Ay100-Ay199. And mine is of Ay508. So I think its not the right manual that you are referring to.

Also, please let me know If I can upgrade it to i5/i7 12thGen.

Thanks

You're very welcome.

HP uses that manual for the entire 15-ayxxx model series or you can also refer to this manual:

HP Notebook PCHP 250 G5 Notebook PCHP 256 G5 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide

You cannot upgrade to a 12th gen core processor motherboard in your notebook.

The max would be limited to one of the motherboards listed in chapter 3 of the service manual.

Looks like the best would be a motherboard that comes with an Intel 7th gen core processor.
