Hi, I would like to upgrade my pc from 8gb of RAM to 16gb of RAM. When I go onto the HP support assistant it tells me my computer model is the HP Pavilion Power Desktop 580-1xx. When I search through the (580 series) manuals on the HP website I ( find a manual with a pc that looks similar to mine and it tells me that computers with an intel 6th gen must use udimm memory with a maximum capacity of 16gb, my PC runs on an intel i5-8400. But, when I copy and paste the product number from the HP support assistant into google it tells me I have a 580-100na, which also has the same parts as this one. When I see people on YouTube upgrading their 580-023w they use regular RAM (i.e. Crucial Ballistix 2400mhz DDR4 DRAM). Lastly, when I search up HP Pavilion Power Desktop 580-1xx a website called memoryamerica.com says that the only compatible RAM upgrade with the 580-1xx is the RAM model HMA81GU6AFR8N-UH 8GB DDR4 (udimm). I would like to know can I buy a kit of 16gb RAM and install it or do I have to just add one stick of the HMA81GU6AFR8N-UH 8GB DDR4 RAM?
Thank you

When i run the scan it can not find my pc although that might be because i have upgraded the storage. It says that it cannot find a matching PC on their database. But, when i type in the PC I get from pasting in the product number from the support asisstant (580-100na) it tells me literally any RAM is compatible, uDIMM or not.
