How I Upgraded the RAM on my Cheap HP Pavilion x360 14m.

- So I decided to upgrade the RAM memory on my HP Pavilion x360 14m-cd0001dx from 8Gb to 16Gb. I had already upgraded my hard drive from the factory-installed 500Gb HDD at 5400rpm to a Kingston 480Gb SSD and the difference was incredible.
All and all I believe that these 2 upgrades to a $450 laptop were well worth the price since both increased the performance of the computer significantly.
Below is the link for the SODIMM stick I got:
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01...
Remember to check which RAM module is already installed on your computer since the HP Pavilion x360 14m comes with different specs depending on the serial number and also remember that doing any modification to your PC will void the warranty, so I would wait until the warranty expires to do the RAM upgrade.

bro thank you so much bro i thought it wasn't possible on my x360 because i didn't see the crews but they were just hidden behind the pads and that circle top so thank you this helped a lot!
underrated, this will really help me upgrade my own pavillion x360
You don't know how glad your comment makes me, thank you so much!
@@orlandomireles6374 you dont know how much this video helped! I was so happy to see there was a way to upgrade my laptop
Sorry to be off topic but does anybody know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot the password. I love any tricks you can offer me!
@Tripp Bruce thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and Im in the hacking process atm.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Tripp Bruce It worked and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my ass :D
Thanks you made me comfortable to do this on my own,
Thank you so much really helped!!
A very good job showing how to upgrade the RAM. Thanks !
Nice video, just looking for upgrade my memory.
its worked, thanks man
Looks like you earned a new sub
Well, thank you so much! Welcome to the family!
Nice video, thank you very much :)
Thank you, I'm glad you found it useful!
Great video
Now I can upgrade it
I'm really glad to hear that. It's the idea of the video, to inspire people!
@@orlandomireles6374 and it worked
Hi! How exactly do you remove the heatspreader/cover? Can't seem to find an easy way on my laptop without bending all the clips or damaging the motherboard. Thanks!
Edit: also for future viewers in some versions of the pavilion x360 line up you have to remove the keyboard to access the internals (simalar to as shown here but uncliping the kb not the back)... Then also *carefully* compleatly remove & flip the motherboard to access the SODIMM slots (which are of course covered with the heatspreader thingy!)
Hi, thanks for your video. It really help me to upgrade my RAM also. My HP x360 laptops only have 4GB of RAM and it really suck when I open Corel / Photoshop.
current models actually have 8 gb of ddr4 ram, such as the model I have.
@@AviatingRandom that's nice. So you just need 1 more 8 gb to make it become 16 gb dual channels
@@AbiHariri yep and thats exactly what im about to do
@@AbiHariri im gonna have more ram then my friends gaming pc which has 11 gb of ram
@@AviatingRandom nice. What kind of your processor? Currently I have core i3 but laptop / processor easy to become hot. I'm not yet add the ram to 16 gb. Do you think that add more ram will help the processor to not work harder? I'm not expert of it
Can you give me the information on the upgraded hard drive you upgraded to?
I may have missed a part where you answered this but do you think the processor/graphics card ect could be upgraded too? Id like to be able to hotrod one of these to compete with the newer ryzen 7 envy
So I don't talk about that in the video but it's on another comment in this video. Due to the compact nature of laptops, the CPU and the GPU come embedded in the motherboard, so it's impossible to upgrade them. Furthermore, many low-end laptops don't come with a discrete GPU (just like this one) they only come with integrated graphics in the CPU. Hope this solves your question.
What happens if you don’t remove the battery
If I switch out the SSD to an nvme ssd, how would I change the boot in the bios after cloning everything on to the new SSD?
To be honest I'm still trying to figure this out, I've done a lot of research trying to find if I can run both the ssd and the nvme plus how to change the bios and I've only been able to find which nvmes work with the laptop, but still nothing about the bios, I guess it's one of the problems of buying devices like this.
iam usinghp envy x360 model 15 m dr0011dx my laptop has only 256 gb ssd company fitted can i install harddrive in my laptop please reply bro aur any body have knownledge
I would like to know if the m.2 space is PCI or SATA?
Also is your model intel with 8th gen?
Hey, so the M.2 interface is PCIe and yes the model of my laptop's CPU is the i3-8130U
A question to you.. Why did you remove battery? I see there is no obstruction to install the RAM chip anyway so asking..
Technically speaking you don't need to remove it. It is more a safety feature so there's no possibility of any electric charge running on the system while you're working on it.
Hi, my laptop has 4GB of RAM, I found another RAM with the same frequency and CL but it's 8GB instead of 4, will my laptop work using those two? Or do I need to buy another stick of 4GB?
I'm sorry I just saw this comment, so yeah as long as the timings and latency are the same you should not have an issue,. I had a laptop a while back with that same configuration (8gb +4gb) straight from the factory.
@@orlandomireles6374 can we get 16GB instead of upgrading to 8GB?
I just bought one of these and it must be a newer build I do not see the RAM anywhere, when I remove the heatspreader, which is different in shape, there is only a 512 PCIe M.2 SSD drive?
It could be possible that they changed the internal layout, this laptop is roughly 5 years old at this point...also check if yours came with soldered ram, that could be another possiblity
It looks to me like there is an M.2 socket for SSD, so one could use that for the OS, and the existing spining HD for data storage. Is that correct ?
That's correct... that's exactly what I would've done if had known there was an M.2 socket...the only thing to keep in mind is that if your model comes with an Intel Optane module, it will be installed in this socket so you would have to choose what do you prefer, the M.2 or the Optane
My x360 pavilion model number is 14 ba-0073tx.
Will it be same opening procedure for me?
Couldn't say for a fact but almost all laptops have fairly similar opening procedures, just make sure to remove all the screws, if you're trying to pry open the edges and it seems harder than it should, a good rule of thumb is that you may still have an extra screw that didn't see before.
did you make a vid for your SSD upgrade.
No, I'm sorry, I did not do a video about that but I can give you the videos I used for reference:
czcams.com/video/wnr1g731ziY/video.html&ab_channel=HookItUp this is the video I used for reference to take everything apart, it's not exactly the same computer but it's close enough.
czcams.com/video/ioYPSsFnmNA/video.html&ab_channel=EasyTechs this is the video I used for reference on how to clone the installed hard drive into the new SSD before swapping them.
Hope this information will be helpful.
Hi, i have similar pc, i want to install 2 new ram modules, should i use single rank o dual rank? Thanks
Dual rank memory is slightly better than single rank memory, but only in single digit percentages, so if you have to pay 50% more for a dual rank memory instead of a single rank just to get barely a 5% boost I don't see the value there...that being said, if you are looking for best performance and have the budget by all means go for the dual rank, as always check that the memory you are going to install is compatible with your system or least check if you can return it if it doesn't work properly.
How is the hp pavilion x360 cheap mate? Which year model is that?
I bought it for $450 plus tax about a year a half ago, I don't remember if it was in sale or not. The actual model is listed in the description but I think it was the most basic one.
I have hp pavilion x360 dh0043tu its come with 8gb ram and 256 ssd . Can i upgrade ram upto 16 gb and ssd to 1tb? Pls reply
As far as upgrading to a 1Tb ssd I would say that for sure you can, like I said, make sure to check the videos on youtube on how to do it properly, especially because you'll need to clone your ssd....now for the ram upgrade it would be better if you checked if your laptop has two ram slots (which I'm 99.99% sure it does) but most importantly check the speed, CAS latency and timings of the ram that's already installed.
why do you take out the battery for what purposes @orlandomireles?
I do it for extra safety reason, I don't want any possible residual current around the components.
Hi bro, i'm new to computers, could you help me? I would wanna do the same as you but idk if that SODIMM stick is compatible with my X360; its exact model is 14-cd0xxx
Thank you!
P.D: Do you speak spanish?
Justo había escrito el reply y no me di cuenta de que me preguntaste si hablo Español haha si fijate como le decía a otra persona que preguntó, lo mas seguro es que chequees cuales son las especificaciones del SODIMM, asegurate que tanto los tiempos (timings), la frecuencia (frequency) y la latencia (CAS latency) sean iguales entre ambos módulos. Tienes dos formas de hacer esto, puedes investigar en Google el modelo de SODIMM que trae tu computadora, el problema con esto es que a veces los fabricantes cambian de proveedores o usan modelos diferentes sin que uno sepa. La mejor forma es simplemente abrir la computadora y sacar el módulo instalado para poder ver la marca y número de modelo y con eso buscar el google la especificaciones exactas.
@@orlandomireles6374 can u please answer in english...as i have the same model (14-cd0xxx) mentioned by the other guy...would like to read your inputs...
@Joel B...did u try the RAM ...did it work for u ..?
thanks in advance
@@saratkumar5231 Sure, no problem, so I was telling him that, as I responded to someone else, the safest way to go is to check the specs of the SODIMM that's already installed, make sure that the timings, the frequency, and the CAS latency so they are the same. There are basically two ways to do this, you can look around in Google to see which SODIMM module comes with your laptop, the problem with this is that sometimes the PC companies tend to change suppliers or they use different RAM models without the user knowing. The best way to be extra sure is just to crack open the laptop and take the installed module out so you can see the brand a model number and with that, be able to Google the information. Remember, the RAM that I use in this video was compatible with my laptop but it may not be with yours, make sure to check which RAM is installed in your laptop.
@@orlandomireles6374 thank u very much for the details....i found the below:
speed 2400
CL-17
DDR4 supported 2 slots available, 1 slot is occupied with samsung 4gb.
max memory recommended by hp is 12 gb..
Can u show video on how to upgrade i3 core to like i7
You can't....on laptops, the CPU is embedded on the motherboard, you can only upgrade RAM and storage up to certain point on laptops, is the price we have to pay for the mobility and small size aspect of laptops.
Can I ask whats your laptops screen resolution on the display settings? Thank you 😊
Off course, so according to the display settings my screen is at the recommended resolution of 1366 x 768 (Barely HD resolution but hey, it's just a 14" display)

My HP Pavilion x360 came with a western digital NVMe and it has an empty space for adding an ssd, can you please tell me the part number of the hard drive cable.
Ohh I didn't know there's was a model with only the M.2 drive, so in that case, what you need is a ribbon-style cable, the service guide states that the part number for that cable is L18218-001, you could try maybe on eBay or just googling it to see if it's for sale to the public.
@@orlandomireles6374 Thanks
I'm wondering what is on the original Samsung RAM, is it like a heat tape? Is there no need for that on any RAM expansions?
PS - Yes, I've been trying to edit my videos on actually 6GB of RAM lol. Not fun at all!
So to be honest I'm not sure, I haven't had any issues so far in terms of temps with the computer but I think that the metal lid that covers the ram sticks works sort of like a heat shield. Now if you have some heat pads or heat tape laying around I don't think it would hurt at all to use it.
Well you must have been struggling with that RAM brother.
@@orlandomireles6374 Absolutely. Lol still using the old HDD too, bout to give this baby a whole lot of upgrades 🙃💸💸💸
@@goSomewhereElse Honestly I felt the biggest difference on my PC when I went from an HDD to an SSD, but now I want to get a SATA M.2 as a main drive and leave the SSD for mass storage, since I saw the M.2 socket while upgrading the RAM. I'm still researching to see if that's possible or not.
@@orlandomireles6374 that sounds cool. I'm excited for you 😎 bout to crack mine open later this week and see if it has that too. My x360 is a bit older than yours though ('16 or '17?) so it might not even be there I suppose
I’m trying to get (2x8) sticks which comes to (16gb). Will it ruin my laptop or is it fine if I stick a bar of ram inside as long as it’s for laptops?
Well are you thinking about supplementing one 8Gb dim that you have already installed? Or are you looking into getting two sticks?
Man I deleted your reply by mistake I'm so sorry....so what I would do is first to check how much ram your cpu + motherboard support, then I would figure out the timings, latency and frequency of the installed ram and get the same values for the new sodims but with higher capacity
@@orlandomireles6374 alright thanks man! Super underrated
what about the rubber pads now😂?
Why did mine cost $750 from Best Buy? I thought this was a high made laptop.
So there's a deal with these laptops and is that depending on the installed hardware it may cost more, mine didn't have any of the nice extras so that's why it was $450
5:04 how do I pop it out I’m afraid I’ll mess up and break it
You gotta be extra careful, there are a number of metal tabs around the heat sink, yo have to very gently push them out to release the heat sink, it should come loose by itself if you have to use any type of force it means that it is not loose enough and you can break somethin
What happens if you add in ram that you have use in another laptop
As long as the ram is compatible there should not be any problems
@@orlandomireles6374 oh ok bro thanks i got you with a sub
Hey man can you upgrade the cpu on this thing I have the same laptop but I want to know if it can be upgraded befor I buy anything
Naah man that's impossible with most laptops including this one, the cpu is embedded in the motherboard
@@orlandomireles6374 alright thanks for the info man
I upgraded the ram and now the computer won't turn on just a black screen and the caps lock key is blinking I'm crying right now god please help me how do I fix this
I'm sorry to hear that, I've never heard of something like that happening...did you turn the computer completely off before opening it and removing the battery? I would try to retrace my steps back to try to troubleshoot the situation
@@orlandomireles6374 I'm just gonna send it to HP to fix it still has a waranty and clearly I am not certified to work with computers lol and since I posted that now nothing is happening when I plug it in the charging light doesn't turn on and when I press the power key nothing turns on nothing flashes and there's no sound at all :/ everything I try to do just comes and kicks me back in the face

I Have a model x360 11m - ap0xxx will this work for mine?
It would be a matter of checking if that model comes with dedicated DIMS for RAM memory or if ho cut some corners and soldered the ram to the motherboard...I know some brands like to do that with small laptops.
@@orlandomireles6374 Is there an email i can contact you on?
is it really necessary to remove the battery?
Ok so technically no, that's why I hesitated to take it off or not, because it doesn't bother with the RAM. That been said, since you are working with electric components, you should take it off for safety reasons, so there's no electric charge on any of the components.
how much ram memory can support the hp pavilion x360 comvertible 14m-dw1xxx
I'm not sure about that specific laptop model but for laptops in general, since they use SODIMM modules, the maximum supported RAM tends to be 32 Gb for dual-channel memory (16 Gb per stick).
Base on the processor it can run up to 32 GB of RAM. But the motherboard has a limitation to only accept 16 GB unfortunately. Check it on crucial.com
Can i upgrade gpu in myHP Pavilion x360 14-dw1039TU.
Unfortunately no, the graphics are embedded in the CPU.
Does doing this void the laptop warranty?
I thought it did, I know that for example swapping the HDD for an SSD would void the warranty that's why I waited to do it until the warranty expired. Now I found these too sources that say that, as long as you don't break something in the process, you can upgrade the RAM without voiding the warranty:
www.quora.com/Will-the-warranty-of-my-laptop-be-void-if-I-upgrade-its-RAM-to-8-GB-from-4-GB-in-India#:~:text=Nope..,it%20wont%20void%20the%20warranty.
h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/Does-Upgrading-RAM-Void-Warranty/td-p/6467414
But still, I would be very careful, if you are really worried about voiding the warranty I would advise you to wait until it expires to upgrade the RAM, companies like HP will do and say anything to not respect warranties.
Bro processor we can change it is it possible
Bro I'm pretty sure it's not possible, I was trying to do the same and found out that in this type of laptops the cpu is embedded in the motherboard and is not possible to change it.

I have pavilion x360 i3 8 gen. I ordered 4gb ddr4 2400 mhz ram today. Will it work?
And it has an extra ram slot right ?
Hello, like I said in some other comments, with these mainstream laptops is hard to know what are the real specs by just knowing the model number, you need to use the serial number to able to get more accurate information, you can get this by using the hp support assistant. The other option is to just open the case and check it out.
does your laptop have any overheating issues ?
To be honest no, I don't tend to push it too much but haven't had any temps issues, do yours have?
Orlando Mireles thank you for your respons. I still need to install an 8gb ram because i want my laptop to upgrade to 16gb ram. But what do you mean with “i dont tend to push it too much” ?
@@Dimasarif_ by that I means that I don't tend to do tasks that require the computer to perform at it's highest for long periods of time. That and the fact that I have it on a stand that improves air flow may help to keep the temps within a good range
@@orlandomireles6374 Do I have to buy 2 of the same ram sticks (2 x 8gb ram sticks) I just bought these ADATA AD4U240038G17-R 8GB DDR4 2400MHz do you think this is a good one for the HP pavillion x360 corvertible 14-dh0xxx ?
@@Dimasarif_ you don't have to buy two of the same ram sticks, however you need to make sure that the ram stick you bought is compatible with the ram stick that is already installed, by this I mean that both ram sticks should have: same speed (shown in Mhz), same CAS latency (normally an integer number like 16 or 18), same timings (a group of 4 numbers something like 35-16-16-16), and ideally same capacity. You can find this information on the internet or you can simply take the laptop apart and check the ram stick that is already installed.
Can I install a backlit keyboard in this model???
Ehhhh that's a tough one, I really don't know I've never seen a conversion to backlit keyboard on a laptop, I'm going to look into it a let you know if I find anything
Thank you 😊
@@Devils_World I did some research, and it looks like it's possible since some models of the Pavilion x360 come with the backlit keyboard from the factory, I'm going to link a video of a guy that does an amazing step by step procedure of how to do it. Now, you'll see that is a tedious procedure, and you have to slightly damage the case in the process, plus it will never look 100% original after that. The good thing is that the backlit keyboard is not that expensive at Amazon, there are some models with good reviews from around $25 and to be honest, is a nice upgrade. I may try to do it myself, but I'll have to do more research on how feasible it truly is.

how to stick back the rubber in the back ??
So they come with a sticky rubbery thing that normally let's you take them off multiple times, but if that wears off you can use a bit of regular silicon, don't use crazy glue or any type of heavy use glue in case you need to open the case again.
@@orlandomireles6374thanks man , can we apply fevicol or smthng of that sort ?
@@Manish-nd8rg uhmm I'm not sure whats that but if it allows you to take it off at any point I would guess that it works
@@orlandomireles6374 okk cool
thank u !!
Does it support 2x32gb (64gb)?
To be honest, I'm not sure, according to the service manual it only supports up to 12 GB in "Two SODIMM memory module slots" that are non-costumer-accessible, but as you can see I was, in fact, able to access the modules and upgrade it to more than 12GB.
No mate, max out at 16gig
Weakest point of these are the Disk harddrives.. I replaced mine with a SSD and its light years faster
That's correct, that was the first thing I did after the warranty wore off...I then added an M.2 disk and, although I didn't notice any difference with a regular SSD it's nice to have two drives plus it showed that it's another option to improve these laptops
How much the ram cost ?
That RAM module was about $38 plus tax on Amazon
