Thanks good demo, I'll be adding my RAM when it arrives later this week.

Thank you very much Aaron ! You explained and did demo very clearly. I am going to do it myself after watching your video.

Thank you so much! I couldn't figure out how to take the back off, this helped me tremendously!

Thanks for posting. Knowing there are screws under the rubber strips is key. HP definitely does not want people upgrading these models. I have an HP 17-by0063cl and it seems like it will be the same.

This helped me so much with installing more RAM in my laptop! It's a slightly different HP, but the whole dang bottom still had to come off, which was intimidating. And the guitar pick was a sterling hack! Thanks!

Thank you, your explanation is very clear. Keep up the good work!

My hp 14 cm007la has 4gb ram ddr4 and i want to upgrade to 8 or 12 gb, it works 4+8gb? Differents Brands? Because mine is micron technology and here in Perú there isn't that brand, only crucial and Kingston, so it Will work 4gb micron ddr4 2666mhz + 8 gb ddr4 Kingston / Crucial = 12gb ram or 4+4 = 8 gb ram different Brands

This should work on any HP 14 laptop with the same form factor, regardless of processor. I've tried this on my HP 14-cm0072au and it does wonders.

remember the days when laptops used to just have a little trap door with one screw that revealed the ram and the hdd? those were the days! Also did th rubber strips stay in place after you stuck them back down? I just bought a similar laptop for my elderly mom, I suspect 4gb will be enough for what she does, but 8 would certainly be better.. I just don't want to start peeling tings off and find it doesn't stay stuck in a week or so lol.

Perfect video for my needs. Thanks!! I have a similar model, the HP 14-cf0006dx. For anyone searching for memory upgrade info on this model, it's virtually identical to the one in the review, however, it has two memory slots. I kept the 4GB slot memory and added 8GB to the other slot. IFixit makes a $2 opening tool that's perfect for this task. Not sure how to add a 2.5" drive but the SSD module can certainly be upgraded.

"No SSD only M.2" This comment of yours lit up a bulb in my head. My HP x360 notebook died. I don't want to take it for repairs because of confidential info on the drive.

I thought the notebook died because someone quietly stole the SSD. lol
