Product: HP Pavilion 23-q102nl
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello,

 

I would like to upgrade the RAM memory on my  HP Pavilion 23-q102nl.

It currently holds 4gb.

I would like to know if these 4gb are currently on one slot or 2x2gb,

If it holds 1x4gb and has free slot, which ram are compatible? can I add 1x8gb and bring the system to 12gb total or does it have to be another 4gb?

 

Thanks
