Can you increase the ram and the hard drive ? Thank you

To increase the ram, you should seek a specialist to swap the memory .... As for the HD you can use an external hard ... good luck

I'm sorry, I am a fairly new computer owner and really do not know anything about the answer to your question. Sorry

Ram can be increased. But one does not need more than 8GB. Anything over that is just overkill. Hard drive can be increased but I would have a pro do it. I am more familiar with a desktop. Much easier to change out.

I do not believe the RAM can be upgraded. Not sure about any other hardware.

Yes the ram can be changed. Th graphics can be changed but the card would take an expansion slot unless you purchase the pc without the integrated video card.

I am pretty sure it can, I am planning on upgrading the HD to a SSD as well. The stock harddrive is slow, but the display and and processor are excellent. Not sure why they crippled the PC like that.

Buddy, Yes it can be upgraded to a maximum of 16 gb as per the maximum specifications. However, practically I haven't tried. To best of my judgement I think it will support as HP must have done the bench marking or tests with maximum amount of RAM it can squeeze in.

yes you can add extra HD, this laptop has 2 hard drive bays. Ram can be upgraded to 32GB max.

Hi Diane, Yes you can, pre installed RAM is 6GB, maximum RAM supported is 8GB. Thanks, PCrush

Yes, Ram can be upgraded to 4GB via standard SODIMM modules. 8GB is a possibility but needs to be confirmed but not much point going to 8gb at this stage.

The ram can't be upgraded but that isn't a problem for me. The small hard drive was more of an issue but I solved that with a 32 GB card for large files.

Are you referring to the CPU by any chance? To be honest I'm not entirely sure. But I believe you could probably find another processor to replace the one that comes with it, since you can get access to most parts by taking the bottom off of the computer. But I just replaced the RAM to upgrade from 1 to 2 gb. I am by no means a computer expert, I just know my way around the internet. :)

I believe that you can upgrade the memory up to 16GB. My model came preinstalled with 6GB.

even if it is possible, i wouldn't do that, the ram and processor are soldered, and is probable that they don't match the electronic and physical charactaristics of the laptop's mainboard, lost of warranty, etc... maybe a better idea for improving performance is change the mechanical hard drive for a ssd, it's effective, quicker, simpler and cheaper

yes you can upgrade to a maximum of 4Gb. Ensure you look at the installed memory which should be either ddr2-pc2-5300 or ddr2 pc2-6400. match the ordering of additional ram to what you have installed. Good Luck

Yes it can. I upgraded with a stick of Kingston DDR3 for a total system memory of 8 gigs.

If you mean put more memory on the hard drive, you can't. I asked the sales people where I bought it from.

It's OK. But my recommendation will be upgrading the ram memory. If you add more RAM will be fine

Since it is a 64 bit system, you can upgrade the ram up to 32gigs but the most available in one RAM card is 8 gigs so 16 gigs is pretty much the max.
