Comparing HP to ASUS and Dell is like comparing apples to oranges. HP is the largest PC maker on the planet.
Your notebook does support 16GB of installed memory.
Always install memory in pairs of identical modules unless you don't mind if one or the other moduleis not recognized as installed by the OS and BIOS.
What you asked about in terms of using an original memory module plus a new and different one is not likely to work.
See the following web page at Crucial Memory for guaranteed compatible memory modules.

Asus and Dell both offer all the information about every piece of your laptop from the make and model to the specs of each piece.
