What's the full model number or product number of your notebook?

There are dv7 notebooks that can support 2 x 4 GB or 2 x 8 GB of memory depending on the model number, and it's anybody's guess at this point without having that information.

You're very welcome.

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook:

Your notebook can support up to 2 x 8 GB of DDR3L-1600 memory.

A suggested 16 GB memory kit:
