HP Pavilion x360 14-dw1012na - SSD and RAM Upgrade Guide

A guide to upgrading or replacing the HP Pavilion x360 14-dw1012na M.2 SSD and DDR4-3200 RAM. This system originally shipped with a SATA M.2 device, but supports both NVMe and SATA devices.
This is a relatively simple process requiring just small 00 and 000 Philips head screwdriver and a (new, sharp pointed) plastic pry tool.

    Thank you!! This was very helpful for me to upgrade my daughter's RAM in her laptop from 8 Gb to 16 Gb. I'm so glad they made the later generations easier to replace the memory. In the earlier models the RAM was buried under everything. So much better!

    Excellent video! I was very worried about the upgrade cost I might incur to increase my RAM but you've made it very easy to understand the process. Hardware has never been my strong suit even though I do front-end dev work LOL! This makes it much less intimidating. Cheers.

    I HATE how HP puts the screws under the feet. In environments as dusty as my home or place of work I need to crack my laptops open and clean them out regularly. Might I suggest that, before replacing the feet put holes in them with a suitably-sized hole punch so you can extract the screws through the holes without having to remove the feet again.

    Hi Mr.Brue, I'm having a wee bit of trouble adding DDR4-3200 RAM upgrade into this HP Pavilion x360 14-dw1012na. I bought the Crucial RAM stick mentioned in the description and managed to push it in/install it, but upon boot I get the 3 caps lock blinks. Upon removal of the new stick, after a CMOS error, the laptop begins to work as normal again. Is there something I'm doing wrong that's very basic? Apologies for bothering you on an old video!

    thanks a bunch! I did pretty much the same with my hp but the cpu almost disappointed me. RAM is 3200MHz but automatically down clocked to 2667 when running bc of cpu specs (apparently cant run xmp to overlock) do you also have the 11th gen i7-1165 or something else?

    Model I had was a Pentium Gold 7505. RAM running at 2666MHz is nothing to do with XMP - DDR4-3200 is a JEDEC standard and supported buy the 11th gen Core chips. HP just limited it to 2666MHz for some reason - Dell do similar on their 3000-series machines.

    Hi, thanks for this video, it is really helpful. I did upgrade ssd and ram, the ssd did work but rams did not work, I do not know the problem. When I turn on the pc, power button and capslock button blinking (screen did not on). Then I replace with old ram. Now I am using with just ssd upgrade. BTW, pc rams are same mhz with old one but it has more gb. Other than that, all features are same with old one. What can I do about it ? Thanks.

    Looking at the service manual, yes, it should work. Only caveat is if your laptop didn't originally ship with an SSD it may not have the M.2 slot present on the mainboard - in which case open it up and check.

    Because they make the bottom of the laptop look cleaner with less visible screws (and possibly deter home repairs). They also give a gap between the laptop base and the desk to aid coolingl.
