Yes, the notebook has an empty memory slot to support another 8 GB memory chip.

If you wanted to have more than 16 GB of memory in your PC, you can run this command as administrator in Powershell to see if that would be possible:

 

Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_PhysicalMemoryArray | Select-Object MaxCapacityEx, MemoryDevices
