Can you ad more ram & storage? null

Ignore the HP and Best Buy reps. I bought three of these exact models and can confirm you absolutely can upgrade the RAM and NVME drive. It has two DDR4 slots and you can pop in another 8GB or put two 16GB dimms. In addition to the NVME, it also has a spot for a 2.5" drive and the mother has the interface. You just need to order an HP SSD ribbon cable and drive caddy (or double sided tape it). Nothing is soldered in.

I purchased this laptop in October 2024 and I was able to upgrade without any problem. It has 1-8gb dimm and 1 open slot. I added a 16gb dimm for a total of 24gb. The ssd is also a standard m.2 slot that could be upgraded.

RAM is not soldered in place, just opened mine and the 8GB pops out easily

Yes! It came with 8 gigs of ram and an open slot. I just put 2 16's in it for 32 gigs total.

Yes. I just added 64gb (32x2) if you enable wmic in windows features( on win 11 ), you can run wmic memphysical get MaxCapacity and it should give you a #. divide it by 1024 twice, there is your max ram

I just removed the 8GB DRAM module from its socket (no, it is NOT soldered in!) and installed DDR4-3200 modules in the two sockets. With 48GB of DRAM (16GB + 32GB), this system FLIES! The system processor can handle up to 64GB of DRAM. The memory modules can be either single rank or dual rank, they both work fine. Both of the DRAM modules I installed are dual-rank, CL22.

Yes, you can upgrade the HP 17-cn0003dx laptop, specifically its RAM and SSD. You can add more RAM by replacing the existing 8GB stick or adding a second one in the available slot, according to information from Best Buy. The laptop also has an NVMe SSD slot, which you can upgrade with a larger capacity drive. Elaboration: RAM: The laptop has two DDR4 RAM slots, one potentially occupied by a 8GB stick, according to Best Buy. You can either replace the existing 8GB stick with a larger one or add a new stick to the empty slot to increase the total RAM capacity, says Best Buy. SSD: The laptop uses an NVMe M.2 SSD, which you can replace with a new one of your choice. You can also add a 2.5" drive, but it may require purchasing a caddy and ribbon cable, according to Best Buy. Other Upgrades: . While not explicitly stated in the search results for this specific model, other components like the Wi-Fi card can also be upgraded, according to HP.com. Important Considerations: Compatibility: Always ensure that any new RAM or SSD you purchase is compatible with your specific laptop model. Service Manual: You can find the service manual for the HP 17-cn0003dx online to get detailed instructions on how to open the laptop and access the components, says HP Support.

I just purchased(8-9-25) 3 of this exact model from another retailer for my children to use at school and upgraded RAM in each of them. There are two SODIMM4 slots and it can support up to 64GB total of RAM. they came with an 8GB ddr4 3200 SODIMM card in one slot and the other is open. If you put mismatched ram in be sure to put the larger one in the first slot, it's marked on the motherboard "one DIMM only" if I remember correctly and is on the side closest to the outside edge of the laptop. There is also easy access, as someone else stated, for other upgrades to the SSD and 2.5" drive to be added.

Dallas, thank you for your question on this HP laptop! This model and series of HP laptop is not user-upgradable. However, Best Buy sells HP laptop models that have more RAM and storage.
