“Shows 1 - 8gb Ram. Is there a second slot to add another 8gb? If so I am sure it is not user friendly and can be added by Geek Squad which is my preference. Also, does it have " SD " card slot?”

Found what appears to be this model on Kingston, which indicates there are 2 slots, both with removable RAM sticks, and that they can be filled up to 32GB. So the HP reply might be the originally tested configuration, but the additional 16GB might be found to be the total acceptable. You might have to inquire/research further for a more definitive answer.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Thank you for your question about this HP laptop! The system board is equipped with 2 SODIMM slots tested for up to 16GB of memory in a 2x8GB configuration.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The best way to find what is in your particular laptop is to simply go to the Task manager. It may not specifically tell you what brand of RAM you have, but it will tell you how many DIMM slots you have. My machine of this same model has two slots. According to the answer above, it is capable of a maximum of 32 GB RAM. You could add two 8GB sticks for 16GB, or two 16GB sticks for 32GB. In most cases, 16GB would be quite sufficient for most users. Remember, it is best to use a matching pair of the same brand and MHz, DDR4, SODMM.

A minor issue, although slightly annoying if it is actually missing, but you could use a USB adapter (inexpensive, but it adds to the area sticking out from the laptop).

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Adding more information. As to how user friendly access is to the RAM slots: the best procedure would be to search YouTube for "add RAM to HP 15-fd0005dx/A9PE6UA#ABA." Yes, YouTube isn't just for cat videos; there are a number of excellent videos available on how to do almost anything to almost any computer out there, and you can judge for yourself whether your abilities (and patience) are sufficient.
