Hi:

Below is the link to the product specs for your PC.

HP Pavilion p6240f Desktop PC Product Specifications | HP® Customer Support

You can find the memory upgrade info on the above link.

You can install up to 4 x 2 GB of DDR3 memory in your model.

Looks like you are already at the max, according to the specs.

If you want to see if it may be possible to go beyond 8 GB of memory, you can run this command...

Windows users can determine the maximum RAM capacity in the Command prompt with the command below.

It gives the final value in kilobytes which can be converted to gigabytes (divide the value by 1048576 to convert KB to GB).

Run the Command prompt app as administrator. 

Then run the following command.  You can copy and paste the line from here.

thank you paul...I'm going to ck this stuff.. I had a 2TB drive installed when I upgraded to windows 10...does that make a difference...with adding memory// thanks JK

You're very welcome.

Ideally, you would want to be at 16 GB on a PC like yours, but it may not be possible,

8 GB is adequate though.

Hi:

What did the command report you ran indicate?  8 or 16 GB?

HP will tell you 8 GB is the max, and will charge you to tell you that since your PC is out of warranty.

it showed max capacity  memory devices...8388608  4

OK, so the report indicates you are definitely at the max of 8 GB and cannot add more memory.
