This is one of the best videos showing how to upgrade gaming laptops. Simple, informative, good camera angles showing what you are doing, and x10 better than any other similar video I've been able to find. Thank you!
2023, still a useful tutorial, thanks. I miss the olden days when my original HP Pavillion had a removable little door on the bottom to access your ram slots. Back in the days when companies gave a crap about their customers.
Thank you! Tip: if you're unsure which ram to buy for your laptop, go to the crucial website and run their exe.. it will do all the work and suggest compatible products
Hey! I just wanted to say thank you for this vid. It was very helpful. You explained everything really well with how to take out the ram and insert the new ram cards. I watched some other vids and they weren't as informative as yours. I also got that message and was glad to see that it was normal. Anyway thank you again!
@@LiegeMaximo the connector? I did it. I didn't take out the battery though. Just unclasped it from It's power source which is a good practice for when your working on anything. If you disconnect the battery you have less of a chance of creating an electrostatic charge and frying something, In my opinion.
Great tutorial. I saved money doing this. Same laptop with higher ram was way more expensive. I got the 8gb one and upgraded to 32gb. Your video was very helpful!
Thank you so much for this! Everything about computer parts is absolutely mumbo jumbo for me so I appreciate the slow and concise step by step instructions
As one tech to another I should suggest you add one thing to this sort of video my laptop is a gaming 15 DK and the four screws in the back if you look closely are NOT the same length! so when a user removes screws from a laptop like this, they should lay them out next to the laptop in the same pattern so that the same screw goes back in the same hole... I use a piece of tape that I stick the heads of the screws on so that way they stay where I put them
you explained every step as if you were talking with a layman if i showed this to a non-tech savvy person (but with the corrrect tools) they would be able to upgrade their laptop by themselves kudos for you!
Pefect, straightforward guide to reduce the risk of me braking something. I had 2x4gb in my son's laptop and just replaced one of those with a 16gb stick for a very low cost upgrade to make 20gb running at 3200. If it was my gaming desktop, then I'd put in 2x16gb to max dual channel performance, but for this laptop the 4gb+16gb is fine. Performance dramatically increased, Minecraft loads in the blink of an eye and according to the old Heaven benchmark on max settings... 8gb = score 668 & 26.5 fps vs 20gb = score 1092 & 43.4 fps.
You get the added bonus of going from 8gb single channel ram to 16gb of dual channel ram by adding a 2nd stick. Dual channel ram has twice the data transfer speed (Bandwidth).
Thanks for this video. I was able to upgrade my RAM and finally be able to play Red Dead Redemption 2 on my laptop. I'd say the hardest part about it all was getting the back cover off lol.
Thank you so much man, this was perfect for me. Although I didnt have a guitar pick I just used the case my ram came in and it worked like a charm! Incredible stuff!
very helpful. I had another HP with the same type of ram so I just stripped it out of that and put it into the one I wanted to use. handy placeholder until I upgrade the ram much further.

My HP pavilion isn’t the exact model it is a 15z- ec200. It has 8 GB of ram total would I mess something up if I follow your video and get the ram ram you did
A really helpful guide as i am planning to upgrade both the ram and add a ssd, 2tb or 4tb not sure yet. Might as well replace the nvme one with a new 1 tb pcie 4.0. At least now i know how to do it without breaking stuff.
This was easier than I thought it would be, the hardest part of the entire thing was the screws and that wasn’t even hard just time consuming since I didn’t have a screw driver lol
