Pavilion dv6 3052tx
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My Laptop has i7 processor.  Currently 2 x 2GB RAMs are installed. I'm planning to upgrade my laptop RAM to 8 GB .

 
Should I buy 2 x 4GB RAMs or 1 x 8GB RAM . Can I buy "TRANSCEND 8GB 1600MHZ LAPTOP RAM " for my laptop or is there any frequency mismatch. 

 

  

Please suggest me what is the best solution for upgrading my RAM to 8GB . Thanks in advance.
