Hello, Thank you for reaching out to us. We would like to inform you that if your HP OMEN laptop uses DDR5 memory, while the Crucial memory module you mentioned is DDR4. Unfortunately, DDR4 and DDR5 are not cross-compatible, as they have different physical designs and electrical requirements. You can’t install a different generation of DRAM in your system at all. The reason is that your motherboard is built to process one generation of memory. In fact, each generation of DRAM has a different placement of pins so that you can’t accidentally install the wrong module in a computer. If you're looking to upgrade your laptop's memory, you'll need to DDR5 SODIMM modules that match your laptop's specifications. We request you to share the serial number or the full make and model of your system so that we can assist you with compatible parts.
