I am currently running 16gb of ram but would like to know if I can increase this to 32gb ram by ordering & adding 2 more 8gb Samsung 2666MHz of memory?
Is this difficult to do?
Do I order the memory from HP?
Thanks

Welcome to our HP User Forum!
Yes indeed, you can -as a matter of fact, your HP Compaq ENVY 795-0039c can be fitted with up to 4 x 16GB (64 GB total) of DDR4 PC4-21300, 2666 MHz, Non-EEC, Unbuffered, UDIMM, 288-pin RAM sticks if you so choose. The RAM you need can be seen here: https://www.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/hp---compaq/envy-795-0039c, [EDIT:] or Samsung equivalent, such as seen here: Samsung 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 2666MHz DIMM PC4-21300 UDIMM Non-ECC 1Rx8 1.2V CL19 288-Pin Desktop Comput....
Preferably, you should match (mirror) your existing RAM with the new RAM. So, if you got 2 x 8GB of Samsung RAM already, buy the very same 2 x 8GB Samsung RAM via Amazon or Newegg, for example.
Hope this was helpful.
And no, it is not difficult to do.

Thanks for your help....I am purchasing the product in Canada so the following item is available from Amazon.ca so would this work ok instead of the 2-8gb?
Samsung 16GB DDR4 PC4-21300, 2666MHZ, 288 PIN DIMM, 1.2V, CL 19 Desktop ram Memory Module
