How to upgrade HP Pavilion dv7t-6100 CTO Laptop to 16 gig memory

[mkramer1234]

I currently have 8 g of memory but need more for running virtual machines. Is there a way to upgrade to 16gig. I know the processor can handle it, but when I look on memory upgrade sites, 8gig is the max listed for this machine.

8gig is the max listed for this machine.

and laptops aren't intended for running a bunch of vms

So what? Is there a way to upgrade the memory to 16gig?

No, 16GB is not recommended and probably won't work either. Officially Hp recommends upto 8GB. If you wanna give it a shot then you can do so at your risk. For running VM's try getting a workstation (desktop)

I know that I can buy 8gig memory module of the same type as what is currently in the machine (PC3-10600 DDR3 SODIMM 204-Pin).

I am looking for some actual expertise! Does anyone know for sure if the machine will recognize the additional 8gigs?

I installed 2 8gig memory modules, and have been running this way for months with no problems!
