This is a very handy video, recently bought this after my old laptop kicked the bucket, it had a better processor but less RAM, so glad that you have this guide, very simple, clear, and to the point.
Thanks for the video. I've got a HP - 15s-fq1512sa and I'm planning to upgrade the RAM - will use this video to guide me. May be a silly question, but is there a slot for any expansion of HD storage? I've got a 256 gb SSD on mine, but I wouldn't mind adding an extra SSD (or whatever is available) for additional internal storage.
Great video! just what i need it and it works perfectly for me! Now i have a silly question, my laptop is currently having 8GB from originally, so it should be fine if i buy an additional Crucial 8GB DDR4-2666 RAM, right ? in that way i would have 16GBs available, right ?
You don't have to disconnect the battery, but it is advisable as it means you won't accidentally remove or fit components with the system electrically on. SSD guide is here: ua-cam.com/video/ljLDBPcK0vI/v-deo.html
Hi. I have this model laptop. It's telling me there's no hard drive/ability to boot. When I look into the options you get when pressing F10, the machine tells me there's an issue with the Optane memory volume. So, I think the hard drive is kaput. I can buy new and replace, but is it possible to recover files from the drive/s? Thanks!
@@BrueComputing Hi. I managed to boot the computer with LinuxMint. Recovered the files I needed and reinstalled Windows 10 - a part of the issue was the laptop stating that the OS had simply vanished. Seems to be working fine for now. Very odd.
Have you tried a different wifi card ? i tried a Intel 9260NGW and added a extra antenna , The Laptop booted up and installed the driver but after the restart the wifi would not turn on, it was showing in device manager and said it was working properly I would like to install a Wifi 6 card or get the 9260ngw working
@@BrueComputing What would happen if I added additional RAM to the laptop with a frequency of 2400 mhz when I have there from the novelty RAM with a frequency of 1200mhz?
I'm about to purchase a 4gb ram version of this laptop from argos. Do i have to purchase 4gb for the 2nd ram installation, or can i add a 16gb to work in combination with the default 4gb? wasn't 100% sure if the 2 have to be matching sizes or not - silly question possible!
I HAVE 8GB RAM I ONLY WANT TO BUY 1 TO TAKE IT TO 16GB , DO I HAVE TO BUY 2 NEW 8GBS OR CAN I FIND A MATCHING 1 TO THE ORIGINAL AND IF I CAN WHAT IS THAT BRAND AND MODEL !!!!
I HAVE HP 15S i3 4gb ram variant so can I add one 8gb stick to another slot so that I can get 12 gb of memory or I would have to replace the older one also..............
why do they put the screws under the strip ? so HP can spot its opened and get out of their warranty, just because they made it hard to upgrade your ram from the unusable 4gb
I don't think this is the case - I'm guessing its just to give the base of the machine a cleaner look. You wouldn't invalidate the warranty based on a rubber strip held on with an adhesive strip being lifted - you see these get snagged and missing all the time.
I have contacted HP and they said that you can upgrade RAM, SSD and WI-FI card but if one od these will NOT work you will repair it by yourself, and better to keep old parts
Great tip about the screws, just did my daughters laptop your guide was invaluable thank you
Glad it helped!

excellent informative video helped upgrade RAM...Thanks and keep up the good work...Much appreciated
my variant comes in with a kingston hp26d4s9s8hj-8 ram would it work with other manufacturers like yours(crucial)?
Thank you so much your tutorial help a lots. keep up the good work.
hello,you can install a hasd disk over PCIe® NVMe ™ M.2 SSD I saw there is a connector
Yes, I did this in a separate video here: ua-cam.com/video/ljLDBPcK0vI/v-deo.html
And I should mention the rubber feet will loose much of their adhesion after being disturbed.
Plz Make a HDD upgrade Video
thank you so much.
No worries!

No there inst in the sa series. You could try refer to your user manual. Damn this is a late reply.
Can I replace the ssd from this laptop?...
I already have a 8gb ddr4 3200mhz ram i want to put another 8gb does it have to be the same specs as the one the is already on the laptop ? Thank u

Correct.
Thanks for video. I brought HP 15s-fq2015na and was wondering do you have to take out battery before installing RAM? Also is it easy to swap SSD too?

Depends on the state of the drive and how it has failed. A data recovery company may be able to help, but it won't be cheap.

Thanks. Single rank.
Hi, do you know if the HP EF-2729wm laptop can be upgraded with more ram and storage?
Can install ssd sata hard drive this type of laptop
Is it necessary to remove the battery for upgrading the RAM? Bcs I'm gonna to upgrade my HP RAMs too
It isn't essential, but it is good practice to minimise the risk of damage to the machine.

Hi sir, I have an HP 15s eq0xxx and in cpu-z it showed me DDR4-2666mhz and in brackets 1333 mhz which clock speed is true? So that I can improve?
DDR is double date rate - so 1333 is doubled to 2666.
@@BrueComputing What would happen if I added additional RAM to the laptop with a frequency of 2400 mhz when I have there from the novelty RAM with a frequency of 1200mhz?
@@BlueScreendo The laptop should run the RAM at the speed of the slowest module, so drop down to DDR4-2400 speed.
What really differ an ddr4 and another ddr for laltop memory dude?!?
can i add a 2.5 inch hdd inside there??
I also wonder that question. There is an empty space for ssd or hdd but no flex cable
Can i add a 2.5 inch hdd to HP 15s-eq1024ne ?
If it doesn't have an HDD as standard then you'd have to source the bracket and cable to fit the drive.
@@BrueComputing I dont know , I didn,t open it yet
@@anything670 Standard config for that machine is 256 GB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD, so unlikely you can add a 2.5" drive without sourcing additional parts.

What is the maximum amount of ram you can install ?
2 x 16GB I believe, so 32GB total.
@@BrueComputing Is that same with "15s-eq1402nc" model ?

hi sir,i got the 15s-eq1xxx with amd athlon siver.is it possible to upgrade the processor too?
No - as with basically all modern laptops the CPU is soldered to the mainboard, so the only way to upgrade it is to replace the whole board.

I have HP 15s i5 4Gb and i want to know can i paly games
4GB will be limiting - going to 2 x 4GB or 2 x 8GB will improve things but with integrated graphics it'll never be great for gaming.

can we put a gpu in it???
same specs

why do they put the screws under the strip ? so HP can spot its opened and get out of their warranty, just because they made it hard to upgrade your ram from the unusable 4gb

Can add sata ssd?
You'd need the HDD cable, board and mounting bracket as models with an M.2 drive don't have these installed, which is quite expensive.
@@BrueComputing where should we connect the hdd cable to?
its all fun and games until ur 15s is metal and not plastic
This is a guide to a specific model though, the 15s-fq model range which all share the same chassis design.
