It's not hard to do some RAM / Storage upgrade. but it's important to check that your not violating your product warranty. if you care, of course.

It's important to note that some laptops with RGB lights have their module connected straight to the motherboard, and by opening the laptop one could break those cables! Be careful!

Don't bother trying this with your HP HP designers seem to have spent thousands of hours to make upgrading as difficult as possible.

Just to note : it is usually not necessary to put thermal pads for RAM cards. There might not even be a heat sink for them depending on model.

Though maby the double-sided 32GB ones need the extra heat dissipation. Follow what applies for your laptop and RAM sticks.

I'll try to upgrade my Asus Rog strix g16 ssd and Ram
