How to install RAM

Hello

I have a HP Pavilion elegant book 14 b 010 - we and it came with 4 GB of ram expandable to 8 GB. I have a new ram of 4 GB ready to install, but the back of the computer does not come off. For theis particular model, you know how to install RAM?

Hi g3,.

Rats.  If you can get your laptop to a local repair shop, ask how much it will cost you for having done that.

Be aware of your warranty. do not take the computer in an authorized shop.  The procedure is simple for a trained technician to do this kind of thing, and the cost should not be prohibitive.

Compare the benefits that you will get the upgrade against a time cost to achieve.

For more security, have backups of your data to an external source before doing anything of this nature, if you do the work yourself OR you send/take the system to someone else.

If you have not done your recovery disc, it would be a great time to do so!

Creation of recovery disks or saving a recovery Image on a USB drive (Windows 8)

HP - backup of your files (Windows 8) computers

Good luck!

  • How to replace RAM on Tecra M9?

    Hello

    Anyone can help explain how to replace RAM on my Tecra M9L - 12K. Returning more I can see the most obvious place where the RAM would be installed but there is only 1 slot SODIMM here. The other is where and how can I access this? Sorry if this is a thread answered elsewhere, but I can't find the answer - maybe you could move me if this is the case?

    Hello

    I see that your computer should be a model from 2011. I could be wrong but HP computers once 2012 come with UEFI - I really don't know, but that's what I found on the Internet.

    If she says legacy, maybe it's just the BIOS that has no extension UEFI, or it coul be your BIOS/UEFI boot mode is set to Legacy mode

    Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) is just the firmware code to a chip on the motherboard that provides additional functionality beyond the input/output system BIOS (Basic). UEFI is a way of doing things with your computer before loading the operating system. For example, UEFI can provide menus very graphics and information on a computer and a diagnostic system based on a computer and tablet. UEFI works with the BIOS to initialize the hardware before handing over control of the hardware of the operating system. UEFI can also load and display software storage devices to provide even more features, such as more detailed system information and extensive hardware diagnostics. More information:

    > http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03801890

    > http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04784866

    If your computer came with Windows 7 preinstalled originally, most likely your computer lacks UEFI because computers that came with 8 preinstalled Win and were supposed to be win 8 certified had UEFI + active SecureBoot.

    Regarding the original question, Apple Mac OS is only officially taken supported devices and hardware from Apple.

  • computer laptop dv6-612tx of hppavilion: size of the installed ram

    I am Agnes... .i am using a computer hp pavilion dv6-612tx laptop... I have a size of ram of 4 GB of origin with the product... but today, recently I gave the lappy to a store aimed a cleaning after I got my lappy when I see the system information in my computer that I could see that the installed ram is 2.45 only...? My question is will show 4 GB ram ram of 4 GB installed or 2.45 only? Please tell me quickly

    Hello @Hemanth17,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I read your post about the size of the memory installed showing incorrectly on your dv6612tx Pavilion laptop and wanted to reach out to you.

    At the right amount showing before you had the system cleaned? What's the memory installed value that is incorrect or available memory?

    If the system displays 4GB but 2.54 GB usable, the system recognizes that the memory is installed, but retains little memory for the physical operations.

    It is possible that the maximum memory is enabled. To change this, you need to go into the System Setup and check the Advanced tab startup options.

    You can also try the tests for a hardware problem or remove and reinstall the memory using the procedure described in the Service Manual (page 53) If you feel that there is a problem of physics with the memory.

    Please let me know how it goes. If this helps you to find a solution, please click on the button accept as Solution down below in this message.

  • I need help, find how to install Windows Vista on a HP Pavilion 6475z disk.

    I need help, find how to install Windows Vista on a HP Pavilion 6475z disk.   I had to replace the hard drive, so he has nothing about it and I added more ram, but I replace the cd player so it is not yet installed on the HP.   So I was wondering if I could put the installation disc in my laptop cd/dvd and connect computers by usb ports and install it this way and if not how can I?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You are welcome

    If the CD/DVD drive in the works of PC Gateway, you can (at least temporarily) remove it and install it in the HP, you can run your recovery disc and reinstall Vista.  Once everything is running on the HP, you can always remove the CD/DVD drive and reinstall it in the gateway PC if you wish.

    Kind regards

  • W510 - install RAM

    Hi guys!

    I've had my W510 for about 4 months now, and I couldn't be happier. However, I recently bought 8 GB of ram (1 333 Mhz - 2 x 4 GB) to replace my current setup of 2x2gb 1066 Mhz.

    I found an installation guide on the Lenovos site that guided me very well. However, when they show how to install memory in slots under the keyboard, the video differs from my W510 (4319 - 29G) in a very annoying way. The location of the bottom is the song of the lower left corner of the laptop. Here are some photos I've taken "."

    Sorry for the blurry cam...

    No where on the Lenovo site, the hardware maintenance manual, or anywhere on the internet they mention this, so I don't really know what to do. The only solution I can think of is to follow the service manual and remove the entire top of the laptop, but I don't know if that could result in the cancellation of my warranty.

    in any case, this is why I write here... Someone at - he then seen before?

    Note of the moderator; image (s) for a total of > 50 K converted for the programming of the Forum rules

    Just thought I'd give you an update. The solution was to disassemble the entire top of the laptop and then remove the thermal protection (2 screws, nothing major) and once that is done, insert the memory. Fact. So it's just the reassembly of the machine which is easy enough.

    Works like a charm.

    Hello @Thufail19,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! It's a good place to find the help you need, so many other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff.

    I read your post about installing Windows and he wanted to help!

    As long as you have the product key for Windows, you can install via USB or the software disk.  Just follow the instructions on the screen.  You can check this site to see if your product is compatible with Windows 10: upgrade to Windows 10

    If you are not sure about Windows 10, then I recommend installation 8.1 Windows and recovery media creation.  You can use this document to help you, if necessary: HP PC - create a recovery Image on disk or save a recovery Image on a Flash drive (Windows 8)

    In this way, you can upgrade to Windows 10 If you choose, and if you are not happy with it, you can return to Windows 8. 1. once the operating system is ready to go, you can get the drivers you need for your product at the following site: drivers - HP for laptop - 15-af008ax

    Here are a few documents about 10 additional Windows:

    HP Notebook PC - upgrade to Windows 10

    HP computers - understanding and using Windows 10

    HP products - where to find Windows 10 drivers and software for my model?

  • Pre-installed RAM in a R60

    I bought my R60 about two years, with 1 GB of pre-installed RAM. Is there a way to check how much RAM is in each Bay without opening the device? (i.e. 512MBx2, one in each 1 GB, with an open Bay or Bay;)

    Well, you really don't fix the RAM sticks... just replace them.

    Even though I already know that some people would disagree... but that's how this issue is treated in most cases.

    I hope this helps.
