Question Can I upgrade?

[Mika2000]

Hey guys!

So I have recently bought the HP Spectre x360 15-df0032nb for my school usage.
It comes with 8 GB Onboard ram (solderd, as if i understand correctly) and I have the issue that it is not enough...

I am looking to upgrade it to 16 currently it has:

Memory Slot 1: 4GB Micron 2800MHz
Memory Slot 2: 4GB Micron 2800MHz


Is there a way to upgrade this laptop to 16 GB ram? And to work obviously as its supposed to.

Hope anyone can help me out.

Best regards and thank you very much in advance.

I see no mention, in the specs, of it being capable of more, so I would say no.

As I understood the motherboard supports 16 ram but it is solderd to the ram sticks can't be replaced. But what if someone desolders it, would it fit if someone would just add two sticks of 8 ram instead of 4?

Are you sure the RAM is soldered? If so, there is nothing that you can do about it. It maybe worth taking off the back to find out. I thought only Apple Soldered RAM.

HP Wrote me this regarding my laptop:

Memory Support for DDR4, 1.2V system memory Two SODIMM slots, customer non-accessible/non-upgradeable DDR4-2400 Dual Channel Support (DDR4-2666 downgrade to DDR4-2400) Support for up to 16-GB of system memory in the following conƭgurations 16384-MB (8-GB ×2 pieces) 8192-MB (8-GB × 1 piece)
But it will need a good tech to upgrade.

It currently has 2 pieces of 4 GB ram.

They also said this:
I'm extremely sorry sir for the wrong information provided above,
The unit ram is soldered you can't upgrade the ram , you have to change the system board.

This confused me totally, as I have now no idea what I can actually do..

You can really do nothing, short of buying a new one, with the amount of ram you need.

I have been informed that I can replace the SODIMM Ram slots with other ram (8gb) That the ram is not solderd. Coud that be correct?

Take the back panel off and find out. Changing out RAM is about the easiest computer upgrade you can do.

Here is a video that shows you how to access the RAM with your laptop (I think it is the same model)
