Hey guys! So my laptop specs says that it can support max 16gb but the processor on the Intel website says that it can support 64gb. Do you think that i can upgrade my laptop to 32gb at least, even if the laptop specs are 32gb max? Thank you!

Typically you should have a minimum of 32GB of RAM, though we’d need the exact laptop model—ideally a direct link from Amazon or Best Buy.

Hello. The device model is HP Pavilion Power - 15-cb003nq and below, featuring a screenshot of the specifications from the Tech Manual. Your machine uses an Intel 7700HQ chip and a Nvidia GTX 1050 with 4GB RAM.

The image indicates memory slots that aren't accessible to customers or upgradable, suggesting they may be soldered in. It’s likely best to locate a disassembly guide for your laptop model to confirm. Look for SODIMM slots matching the description. If you can upgrade, target 2400MHz SODIMMs as specified.

Hello, The laptop wasn’t soldered, so you have the option to increase its RAM. Based on the information you shared, upgrading to 32GB might be possible depending on the model and manufacturer.

The CPU lineup accommodates up to 64GB, but the site claims only 16GB. I’d pick 32GB instead. You shouldn’t run into issues. If you encounter problems, tweak the BIOS settings as much as possible. I had a HP laptop from last year that said the same about RAM. I upgraded to 32GB without issues, just needed to reinsert the RAM once for it to recognize the full capacity. lol

Some people have installed 16GB drives in comparable models, which increases the likelihood it will function properly. However, performance may still be limited to around 2.083 GHz.

Hello, I understand it may operate at a lower frequency range, but I'm willing to give it a shot. Appreciate the support!

Thanks! If problems arise, I’ll just send the 32GB kit back, as Romania’s return policy allows 14 days. Appreciate it!

It means replacing the memory chips in the system. There are just two available positions.
