Hi:

Below is the link to the crucial memory upgrade report for your PC:

Below is the link to the service manual, which also has the memory upgrade info and memory removal and replacement procedures.

can I use one 16gb RAM bar? I just do not want to use one 2x8 GB of RAM

Not according to crucial or the HP service manual.

Usually PC's with Intel 8th generation core processors can support 2 x 16 GB of memory, so I don't know why neither site indicates that.

So, if you want to experiment with a 16 + 4 GB memory chip, that is up to you.  I can't gamble with your money.

But 2 x 8 GB of memory is better than 1 x 16, because the 2 x 8 runs in the better performing DDR mode.

• you did not understand my question. I want to remove my 4gb and put 1x16gb RAM. I want to have, only one bar for 16gb. and then whole RAM was 16gb. I'm only interested in one question. can I use one 16gb RAM bar?

You don't understand my answer.

The specs state that only an 8 GB bar is supported in the memory slot, not a 16 GB bar.

If you want to experiment with a 16 GB bar, that is entirely up to you.

What I am saying is that 2 x 8 GB is better performing than 1 x 16 GB.

now understood, thanks

You're very welcome.

I am also saying that a 16 GB memory bar in theory should work in a notebook with an 8th generation Intel core processor.

But since the specs for your specific model only state 8 GB per slot, I can't 100% guarantee you a 16 GB memory bar will work.

The crucial memory site usually says 2 x 16 GB is supported, even if the HP manual indicates only 2 x 8 GB is supported, so I am just a tiny bit unsure if a 16 GB bar will work.

If you feel lucky, go for it.  😊
