I inherited a HP Notebook - 15-da0032wm, pretty much the same laptop from my late brother. After checking out the system specs I decided to upgrade the components. I bought 16bg of RAM, A new M.2 NVME 512gb SSD to replace the 16bg Intel Optane Memory SSD. And a new 512gb 2.5" SSD to replace the 1tb mechanical 5400rpm HDD. While the case was open I replaced the thermal paste on the CPU/APU with Artic Silver 5. First I updated the PC with all the latest software updates from MS. Then imaged the HDD with Macrium Reflect to have a back up of the system. Next I disabled (very important) the Intel Optane Memory module in the Intel Rapid Storage Technology software. Removed the Intel M.2 stick and the 1tb HDD. Installed the new M.2 SSD, left out the new 2.5 SSD. Did a clean install of Windows 10. This way there is no HP bloatware. Updated Windows. Installed the new 2.5 SSD. I couldn't find the RTC battery. I would have liked to replace that with a fresh one while the case was open. It's probably on the opposite side of the MB. Closed up the case and the PC is running fast and smooth. So these are the new components. 16bg of G.Skill DDR4 2666 8GBX2 CL19-19-43 1.20V, TeamGroup 512gb MP33 NVME SSD Gen3 X4, Teamgroup 512 gb EX2 2.5 SSD. Total cost for the 3 new components was $194.00 at Newegg. Even though this PC was about $400.00 new the added upgrade wasn't too bad. Too bad it only has an i-3

Wow, you went full bore on it. I'm happy to hear it all worked out for you. I can't afford to do all that to mine, or I would too. And after my second stroke, and my short term memory issues, I wouldn't be able to do this all myself anyways. I am going to upgrade when this one no longer works for me. I'll be looking into a laptop built just for gaming or video editing. My guess is probably about $1,200.00 or more... That sucks...lol... Thank you for watching and for your comment.

I just made an update video explaining everything I just went through and the lack of support I got from HP. I ended up purchasing a new laptop for editing 4k videos and I couldn't be happier with it. I do not recommend HP fort people who aren't PC savvy because of your warranty runs out and something goes wrong your water on your own. Even if it was an issue that you had prior to your warranty rerunning out.

Wait so do you put in another 4GB ram to get 8 GB? Or would you buy a new ram drive with 8GB

@HayesTech

The Laptop has 2 ram slots and it comes with one, 4Gb stick of ram that is installed in the #1 slot. That leaves a slot open. So I just purchased a 4Gb stick of ram and put it in the one empty slot (the #2 slot), for a total of 8Gb. Now that I understand more about how ram works, I think my next upgrade will be to purchase one 16Gb ram stick and put it in the #1 slot and leave the #2 slot open. I hope I didn't confuse you and if you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

That's a good question and since I don't have an SSD to compare with, I really couldn't answer that. All i can say is the Intel Optane, in my PC allows an otherwise non video editing laptop, to actually edit 1080p videos with ease. Actually, I edit 4k more than 1080p lately and am still able to do it on this laptop way better than on my PC, with it's graphics card.

Can I upgrade this "16 GB storage acceleration" to a decent size pcie m.2 SSD and install Windows on it ? Did anyone try this ?

@HayesTech

4 жыл бұрын

Yes you can put a standard SSD is this device by pulling out the hard drive and replacing it with the high speed SSD. As for changing the Intel Optane ram for an SSD hard drive.. I'm not sure. I'm new to this M.2 technology and how it's used. I do think they make an M.2 style had drive with like 256Gb of storage on it and you should be able to install Windows and run it from there, but I've n never tried it. For what I do, editing videos, using the M.2 the way it was intended works for me for editing video, so I'm not going to change that. I'm editing 4k videos with only 8GB of Ram and no non integrated video card and that's hard to do without the Intel Optane acting as another 16Gb of Ram. From what I've read i can upgrade my Intel Optane Ram/M.2 with up to 118Gb it more but the 118Gb chip is $200.00. So if i ever upgrade it, it's more likely to be to 32Gb and that's only $76.00. That's more like what I can afford.

If you put in a 16Gb stick of ram, you will definitely see a massive difference. My laptop that they sent me to replace this one came with 12Gb ram ( one 8Gb and one 4Gb chip) and this really made this thing run fast and smooth. Remember though, the max ram you can install in these laptops is 32Gb.

@HayesTech

To put it in an easier way to understand... At least for me... Lol... Most PCs and laptops work best when both sticks of RAM are the same. Meaning, that if you primarily stick of RAM is 16 GB then your secondary, or B slot, should be the same as the A slot. That doesn't mean that you can't use the 4 GB stick with the 16, but from everything I've read and experienced keeping the RAM paired usually gives you the best benefits. So yes, adding that 4 GB stick to your 16 GB stick that you purchased will definitely add to it. I hope that made sense...

My bad experiences with HP, as a company, has left a bad taste in my mouth and I've decided to stay away from HP all together. There are definitely good PCs and laptops, made by HP, but both of my laptops from them had major issues within 3 months of getting them. And to top it all off the servic techs were of no help to me, without complaining to someone over their heads. Once I complained something was done. This shouldn't be. I got so disgusted, after the second laptop started showing issues, that I decided to go out and purchase a new laptop that was not an HP. I am so happy today with that decision too. I love my Gigabyte Aero 15.

With my 8Gb of ram in mine, I'm editing 1080p videos with zero issue and editing 4k videos with some time (meaning after dropping in the 4k video I have to wait till the red line goes the whole way across the video before editing). I can still edit the 4k Videos but if I want to have smooth playback while editing, I need to let that red bar build completely. After I get some money saved up though, I am going to upgrade to a high end gaming laptop. They are some of the best for editing 4k videos. But if editing 1080p, this laptop is a dream and did it very well Good luck to you and I'll tell you now that adding even 4Gb of extra ram will make a huge difference. I highly recommend getting the total amount you want to put in it in one chip though. It just uses the ram better from a single chip than from 2 chips. I was running 2, 4Gb chips for a total of 8Gb and it was running pretty good. But after switching to 1, 8Gb ram chip (installed in the "A" slot and leaving the "B" slot open), it seems to be running even faster and smoother. That may just be me since I didn't run any speed tests, but that's how I will be upgrading the ram from now on in this laptop.

You have a pretty nice laptop from what I can see though, so if it's anything like the rest of HP laptops, you should be able too. But i would pull the back off (very carefully) and check for an SSD Port on the motherboard.

I can't find any detailed information on this laptop or I would help you out. I need detailed pictures. I also need to know why you are opening it up. Is it for ram upgrade or hard drive upgrade?

Can i REPLACE the ORIGINAL existing 4GB Ram with an 8 GB Ram and then ADD a new 8 GB RAM in the empty slot ? this will make the RAM total 16 GB. Can my Laptop handle 16 GB of RAM? This is my model number: Hewlett Packard 15bs234wm.Thanks!

Yes you can. From what I've read, 16Gb if the most this laptop will recognize though. So you should be good. Good luck to you sir.

@@HayesTech Thank you very much! I have read that it wont recognize more than 12 GB. That's why i was asking.

@@joyl9083 That may be true for the model laptop you have. Mine has 8Gb now (I added 4Gb for a total of 8Gb) and I can edit 4k videos. It does best with 1080p but editing 4k is not out of the picture. Hopefully you're will work as good for you as mine does for me.

But can the computer go to 16 gb ram

Ass far as I know, yes. I think the most it can handle is 32Gb. I honestly would purchase a single 16Gb chip if that's the most ram you want. I find that using a single chip in the amount you want, in the "A" slot, works better than using 2 chips and utilizing both ram slots. That's just my opinion though but thought I would mention it.

That laptop has SSD?

No, it has a standard hard drive, but fast, comes with 4GB ram (I've added a 4GB stick for a total of 8GB) and has HP Optain memory (it's like extra, super high speed ram, in a way {16GB}), had a 15.6 inch touch screen and 3 USB ports (two of which are 3.0 and higher).

No, it has a very fast typical spin drive (but a fast one), a 14.5 inch 920p touch screen, comes with 4GB ram and I installed another 4GB for a total of 8GB and it has an Optain ram card, which is basically like an SSD but acts more like ram then an SSD. It gives you the option to replace it with a true SSD though. But with the 1TB memory that it comes with, I don't need the extra storage. Although there are arguments that the Optain memory isn't worth it and changing that to an SSD and installing the windows OS into that, would speed it up. To be honest, it's fast enough for me the way it is and the only thing I'm going to change (right now) is to add more DDR4 ram. I would love to put 32Gb in it. That Optain ram can also be upgraded to 32, 64 or even higher but since it is so new technology it's super expensive. Right now the Optain ram it comes with is 16GB. So there is 16GB Optain ram and 8GB DDR4 ram. I hope this answers your question and I plan on upgrading this laptop soon. When I do I will video the whole process.

@@Ts-ti1vd I always am. Yes, I had 2 strokes in less than 2 years. My right side is hard to use now and I've developed a pretty good shake from it. But I'm learning to do things with my left side now. I actually have another channel called Life, Post Stroke that I put all my videos that I don't uploaded to this channel on. Anyways, thank you for the concern and I'll be back in the bike, so to speak, before long.

My work laptop a Dell has only the M.2 hard drive. It came with 256GB and 8 GB of RAM and I asked my boss if I could purchase a 1TB M.2 drive and 16 GB of RAM for my i7 Dell and he got aprovall and I got my 3 quotes and CDW charged me like 125 for the 16 8X2 Modules DDR3 and the 1TB M.2. Sped things up greatly. Your Laptop looks like the Intel version of my laptop that I just picked up on Ebay for 100 dollars. Mine is the HP 15-db0066wm and it has a Ryzen3 chip in it. If it has an M.2 slot in it I think I'll just get another one and ditch the mech drive and just go with the M.2. It is just an SSD after all and you can find them for 100 dollars on Ebay. I had to go through our approved resellers at work but for my own probably just Ebay, Amazon or Ali Express. The 16GB of RAM is going to be here tomorrow. and the bottom of my rig look just like yours even the two long rubber feet. So thanks for being brave and now I know what I'm getting into...

You are very welcome and thank you for the great information. I think the technology has grown leaps and bounds since back when I built my last PC and going with old tech like spin drives is definitely not the way to go any more. M.2 drives are so fast. It's a night and day difference.

I have this problem with my laptop, there is no network signal ... do you think this problem is the same and what should I do?

Could you do this with a 15-0032wm? I mean they’re basically the same computer

I would say yes but without researching and knowing exactly the components in it, I can't be certain. But most likely, yes
