15-r132wm Memory Slots Available

[DJ_PlaZma]

Can someone tell me how many memory slots and HDD slots there are on the 15-r132wm?  I've been searching endlessly and can't seem to find a definitive answer.  I don't want to go digging inside my laptop if there isn't additional memory/storage space available.

Many thanks!

And your machine's specs:

   http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-15-r100-Notebook-PC-series/7234951/model/7605346/document/c04...

It uses "2.16GHz Intel Pentium N3540 Processor with Turbo Boost up to 2.66GHz" CPU which is an Intel Bay Trail M processor that means:

1. Your machine has only 1 slot for RAM. Please use the above manual for RAM upgrade.

and

2. As a normal low end laptop, you machine only has 1 slot/bay for HDD.

So, if I'm reading this right, I should at least be able to upgrade the one memory slot from 4Gb to 8Gb, correct?

Many thanks for your quick response!
