Hi, I have the following laptop: https://support.hp.com/gb-en/document/c06145890
I have some questions as I would like to upgrade the RAM and STORAGE and not sure on what would be best option.
Firstly ram..
I have the following ram removed from previous laptops. Would either of these fit and work in this laptop as a ram upgrade?
Secondly storage...
The laptop currently has a 1TB HDD which I would like to remove. It also has a 16GB Intel Optane Memory M10.
I dont really understand the purpose of the optane, I think it takes the load and stress away from the other drive and helps process- is that correct? Can you use it for storage - bearing in mind its just 16GB?
I am going to replace the 1TB HDD with the following SSD I have spare - Crucial MX500 2.5 SSD CT500MX500SSD1. Can you confirm this will work with no problem?
Regarding the optane memory, I am considering replacing this with another SSD. I am unsure which SSD I would need to get to replace this slot.
Can anyone assist please? Would it be standard M2 or NVME? Which SSD would you recommend buying to replace this?
Eventually, once I have replaced the current HDD with the Crucial 500GB, and replaced the Optane Memory with another SSD, I would like to install 2 copies of windows - one on each.
I have attached a photos of inside the laptop below if it helps:
