Product: HP Pavilion dv6 5CH1342RW4
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have an HP Pavilion dv6  5CH1342RW4 laptop Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2670QM CPU @ 2.20GHz. 

 

What is the maximum RAM capacity of my laptop? it came with 6GB (2GB SODIMM ELPIDA 1333MHz
4GB SODIMM Micron),now I want to upgrade it.  Will it take up to 8GB or even 16GB?

8 gigs (2 x 4 gig modules) is your maximum memory and there is no way to upgrade the GPU. It is soldered to the motherboard and cannot be removed or replaced. The numbers you provide are not the laptop model number or Product Number which we would need for any more specific information. There may be an alternate motherboard you could install which would have slightly better graphics but it would, at best, be a minor improvement for a major cost and hassle.
