Trying to figure out whch memory is correct for an upgrade. And yes, I know this is an aging system, but not ready to upgrade to a Win11-compatible system yet. This one serves my purposes. It's an Envy 210-XT with 8GB RAM. I suspect that the 1600Mhz PC3-12800 will be ok, just checking. Thanks in advance for your help!

Assuming the PC is the one depicted on this page
https://www.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/hP-Compaq/envy-700-210xt
If that is not your PC, click on the "Upgrade My Computer" in the upper right and let it do its thing until it shows you the recommended memory upgrades.
You can follow the recommended upgrades found there. Pick the memory options where available. And notice "Guaranteed compatibility when you use our advisor and purchase from Crucial"
You can use their recommendations with confidence.
