According to the motherboard specs for your PC, it can support 2 x 8 GB of memory.

 

HP Desktop PCs - Motherboard Specifications, MonkD | HP® Support

 

Since your PC has the AMD Ryzen 3 3250U processor, it should be able to support 2 x 16 GB of memory.

 

You can run this command to see what Windows indicates for the maximum memory:

 

1. In the search box, search for cmd and click Run as administrator.

 

This will open the command prompt.

 

2. Once command prompt is opened, type wmic memphysical get maxcapacityEx and press the enter key.

 

There, it will show the maximum RAM capacity your PC's motherboard can support.

 

The capacity is shown as Kilobytes, so you have to convert it to Gigabytes by dividing the number provided in the report by 1,048,576.
