that was so cool using alien tape because no caddy, what a great idea!

[@rss1761]

Will a nvme gen4 make any difference compared with the default one m.2 ngff ? Or it will still be running at 400-500MB as the old one?

[@arthurarleo]

Is it possible to choose from BIOS which one do you want to use for primary disk (changing from NVMe to 2,5" and vice versa)?

[@Techminat0r]

Do you know what is the max SSD capacity this model supports? I know the official information is 1TB but it is not always accurate.

Thanks

Is it possible to add two M2 NVMe 256gb+256gb SSD in this laptop?

[@RASHA90SAA]

i have one question how to change ram speed?

[@jorgealain5126]

In the support page of this notebook it shows it supports up to pc4 17000 ddr4 and it recomends to use only hp memory. Can i use any type of other memories with the same specs orits best to avoid risk, just try to search for hp memory? hp memory is very difficult to find here in brazil and i'm afraid of buying from other marks/vendors and end up with the notebook doesnt booting up.

[@julyol119]

Yeah, that's my question as well. What do I need to look out for when choosing the RAM here?

[@akhellwig]

I ordered the following (still waiting for them) Crucial RAM 32GB Kit (2x16GB) DDR4 2400 MHz CL17 Laptop Memory CT2K16G4SFD824A from Amazon

[@uzairyamin5030]

I am using M.2 SATA ssd in HP 840 G3 for now. But I don't know if it supports M.2 NVMe ssd. Would you be kind enough to let me know that. In the HWINFO it says that the motherboard supports PCIe v3. I want to replace my NGFF M.2 ssd with NVMe ssd, Because I want to enjoy the speeds of NVMe with PCIe interface. Thanks,

[@syedburhanalishah1631]

I am looking for same answer. Have you find out?

[@rss1761]

Have you clarified this? I have m.2 ngff and I was wondering if there’s any difference if I go with nvme gen 4

I have the same exact laptop from this video. I wanted to know how much ram I can add and anything additional I can upgrade. I wanted to upgrade this laptop because I wanted to run Kali-Linux on this machine, but I currently have the following installed: HP EliteBook 840 G3 16.00 GB RAM Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6300U CPU @ 2.40GHz Thanks for your input.

[@EasyFixLaptop]

Upto 32GB

[@renzformoso4797]

Hi I saw you used the double sided for the SSD. Is there no screw? I opened my laptop and saw the same space for ssd but didnt see any screws.

[@EasyFixLaptop]

Hi no there wasn't, because its a space space for the 2.5" they usually don't provide it inside.

Please I opened the back of my laptop and found out that there wasnt any hard drive in it and i have been using it for about a year now and I only opened to check because I encountered the blue screen of death recently and i'm surprised cause why has my system been working without a hard drive ever since? Please I need help

[@InBloomization]

I don't think there is no HDD on your laptop. Maybe you just missed it out.

[@arthurarleo]

Is it compatible just with M2 NVMe or M2 SATA also?

[@arunchandrasingh4816]

both M2 NVME and 2.5 SSD

Can I add DDR4 8GB to my HP840?

[@SrijanINdeutchland]

Ja u can add DDR4 8 gb there are 2 slots for DDR4 ram means u can upgrade up to 32 gb upgrade dual channel ram either 16+16 or 8+8 or 4+4 and the maximum clock speed supported by hp elite book 840 g3 is 2133MHZ if u buy more speed then it will be waste cause it will run at max 2133 mhz
