- How do you upgrade your laptop RAM memory? What RAM do you need to upgrade your laptop? How do you install RAM in a laptop?
This video shows how to find the type of RAM you will need to upgrade your laptop and then how to install it. Three different methods are shown to find which RAM is already installed. The video uses an HP Omen 15-dc1054nr laptop from 2019 as an example for the research and installation of the RAM. Laptops vary a lot. The aim of this video is to give a concrete example of a laptop RAM upgrade so that the viewer can be more confident in doing their own research and upgrading their own RAM.
I forgot to mention one other way to determine what type of RAM to use for you computer is to do a search with the tool at crucial.com. Also on crucial.com, you can have the site scan your computer to find out what RAM you need. Micron manufactures and sells RAM, and Crucial is a brand owned by Micron.

my one slot is empty for the ram and one is installed with 8gb so do i need to buy the same part as installed from the factory version or i have to replace even that and eventually buy totally new pair of stick with higher capacity.
And its just swap, and use kind of scene or else there is something else to do with BIOS or software tweaks??
turning on xmp profile in the bios makes the ram the advetised speed. Even desktops without xmp turned on the ram will run at base frequency and not advertised frequency. Gotta turn that XMP profile on and poof! full ram speeds
Thanks for the vid, got worried halfway through that I wasn’t putting the ram in right but you were thorough so I made sure I was doing it correctly
Very useful video. Now I know how I can find RAM for my laptop. Thank you. Just have one question, after upgrading ram do we have to configure it in bios, or no configuration needed?
You’re awesome, just upgraded my RAM for the first time with your instructions
Updating the RAM in my HP Omen this weekend. Great video. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for this video, was having trouble with mine and this helped me to open it up and confirm the ram setup I had (single 8Gb stick) so I knew what to order for upgrade
Great to hear!
which RAM did you order for you upgrade?
@@asonir15 Another 8 gb stick, so now I got 16gb. Was not sure if motherboard is rated to handle more. SODIMM, naturally.
@@Mandemon1990 I’m model was rated at 32gb so maybe you to?
Very informative and clearly explained - thank you!
This is the best video for this. Period
Absolutely awesome my brother . Thank you very much
Best video I've seen. Thanks!
Wow, thanks!
This is very helpful as I do have an OMEN Laptop. Thank you so much.
Great video! VERY helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for video! :D!
very helpful thank you
Thanks so much this helped alot🎉
Very helpful. Thanks!
I like using those magnetic trays to hold my storage devices 🤪
loved this! very informative video. thanks :)
Hard drive to ssd would be next
thank you !
Thank you, very helpful
Please respond. Does upgrading the Ram make the computer faster? Or is it the I core processor
Great video , very good explanantion on how to get the information and to do the job , great thanks . where can I get the information on whats the maximum RAM you can upgrade? I have HP m7-n109dx . thanks again
AFAIK all Omen series, outside of the most expensive ones, have limit of 16Gb
Look at the HP website for specs on your laptop.
I suggest creating a Bios recovery drive and a recovery drive on USB
Thanks. Nice video. But HP did not make it easy. Easy would be like the old IBM's where they had screw top sections to lift a cover just for the memory only. The good ole days. : )
Video starts at 13:00
Excellent video, thank you very much. Quick (noob) question, what is going to happen if I use a 3000MHz or 3200MHz RAM?
If you laptop is capable of supporting this RAM, it will turn the memory clock higher if XMP is enabled, allowing it to run a bit faster on some tasks. I wouldn't hold my breath though on it running faster. Often, it will just downclock the RAM to run at the speed of the memory bus, like 2400MHz, but it should still work. Laptops can be finicky about RAM though, so you won't know until you try it.
@@hometechadventure4462 thank you very much
Nice, easy to follow instructions. Never done any upgrades to a laptop before, so was wary about just how difficult it might be. Turns out it was a total breeze with the help of your video. Thanks.
Thanks
Hello, I was hoping you would cover more on what to do if the laptop does not start back up. I bought an 8 GB of ram, but when installed it, my omen would not start. When I put the original ram back in, it was fine. What do you mean by "reseed"?
Re-seat, the RAM. This means take it out and put it back in again. Sometimes it gets in just a little off and doesn't make the needed connections. Taking it out and putting it back in sometimes will solve the issue. There is always a possibility that you got a bad RAM stick. Also, laptops can be very picky about which RAM sticks will work. Check that you bought the correct RAM for your laptop, and if you did and it still didn't work, you could try a different brand.
when you upgrade your RAM in the laptop used in this video are the other parts installed okay to keep or will they need upgrading too?
In my case all the other parts were okay to keep. Most of the other parts cannot be upgraded, only the SSD or hard disk can be upgraded.
hello brother i want to build in my laptop hp 250 g7 6MS19EA ram memory (2x8gb - 2666Mhz). What is the best ram memory for him
So my questions is if I actually put new RAM in it... For example I have 2x8GB of RAM and I swap it for 2x16GB RAM. Do I need to install some drivers? Will the CPU automatically recognize new RAM? Any combinations of RAM you should not do? such as 1x8GB + 1x16GB or 1x32 + empty slot?
No drivers required for RAM, it will be recognized if it is compatible with your computer. Any combination should work in any slot. For best performance though, you want both slots filled with identical RAM sticks. When both slots are filled with the same RAM sticks, the computer will run in dual channel mode which is a bit faster.
I thought my laptop will be super fast cause it has 2070 nvidia inside, but it cant run some games proprly.....slow fps.....so will there be a lot of difference if I upgrade from 2x8 to 2x 16 gb ram? What will change? MOre fps?
A laptop 2070 should be capable of good gaming performance. Check the Windows 10 power and performance settings, and set for maximum performance. Also, plug in your laptop for fastest gaming. It may reduce performance a bit when running off battery.
As to the RAM, for now, I'm going to refer you to a video by JayzTwoCents for the answer:
th-cam.com/video/VgCME7Y1EO8/w-d-xo.html
@@hometechadventure4462 I dont have max performance setting, only balanced and recommended.....it is always plugged in.....I am cluelesss.....games do not run any good on my laptop anymore
Actually, you didn't mention taking out the battery before you changed the RAM - I always do that.
HP does not mention it either in their recommended procedure for this laptop. I agree that removing the battery would have been safer.
Hi, wich ram do I need to buy? Does the frequency has to be same as current? Like 3600 mhz? Or can it be lower?
Lower speed ram will probably still work, but with slightly reduced performance. You have 3600 mhz RAM in your laptop? Do not mix two different ram sticks in a laptop.
should we pull battery before changing ram memory or its unnecessary?
Yes. I did not do it this time because I wanted to keep it simple and follow what Hewlett Packard recommended on their website for this. Removing the battery would be best. I removed the battery in this video: th-cam.com/video/4c5-9JnfUvo/w-d-xo.html
i added memory to my omen and it kinda just bricked the system. Just sits there blinking with 3 LED lights , basically the bios is in a unending loop. Only way to get to windows is to take out a stick and just run it with 4gb, the 2nd memory slot seems to have died
Wait, did you install 2 different memory sticks in your computer. Very often this doesn't work. Even if it is the same brand an model, if you bought it separately it will sometimes not work. You really should buy a complete 2x4GB sold as a set for 8GB total. Did you try both memory sticks in the single slot that seems to be working? It may be that you got a bad RAM stick. It does happen. Also, sometimes re-seating the RAM (taking it out and then putting it right back in) can make it work. Finally, laptops can be very picky about RAM. It may be that the Omen is just not liking the new RAM stick.
@@hometechadventure4462 well turns out my board broke and slot 2 was no longer recognized regardless of which stick i put in it. So im sending my laptop back to HP to get it fixed or get a new one
PERFECT
Thanks
naise sir !!
Will it be an issue if I add 16G RAM to my existing 8G RAM on my Omen? Thank you.
There are only two RAM slots. They are likely filled with two 4 GB SO-DIMM's (memory sticks). To move to 16 GB, in this case, you would need to remove them and then add two 8 GB SO-DIMM's, or one 16 GB SO-DIMM. It is best to add two identical SO-DIMM's so that the PC works in dual channel mode for a bit better performance, especially in some games. If you choose to try 16 GB SO-DIMM's, make sure that the exact model you are upgrading will accept them by finding the specs on the HP website.
@@hometechadventure4462 Thank you, appreciate it : )
I upgraded my exact same laptop. 2019 hp omen 15 gaming laptop 1660ti i79750
I bought this exact ram. 2x 16gb. I found that it will only work if I use the factory 8gb stick in slot one. I can put the crucial 16gb in slot 2 and it gives me 24gb. But I cannot put the crucial in slot one. I get a blank screen. Do you have any idea why it's doing this?
What ddr is that
ddr4 for this laptop
Can i upgrade Hp Omen 15 2019 to 64 giga?
I think you are limited to just 32 GB RAM for this. There are only 2 RAM slots with a maximum of 16 GB each.
@@hometechadventure4462 i have seen 32gb ram at 2666mhz on amazon though
@@buster5191 I do not know if this would work. You could try it. HP only lists 32 GB (2 x 16 GB sticks) as max on the specs here:
www.omen.com/us/en/laptops/2019-omen-15/specifications.html
This may be because the 32 GB ram sticks were not available when they wrote the specs. It still may not work if the motherboard was not designed with that in mind. You could also contact HP and ask them.
@@hometechadventure4462 thats what i was thinking, i have the 17-cb0050nr which also list as max 32. Would you say the extra $40 per ram stick to get 64gb of ram total is worth it with a i7-9750h processor or just stick with 32gb.
@@buster5191 Personally, I would just stick with 32gb unless you REALLY have a need for more memory. My editing computer has 32gb and it is fine for my needs for now. Let me know if you do try the 64gb solution as I would be interested to see if it works.
