On my computer there is one 8 GB RAM module. When looking at my product info it says it Supports up to 32 GB (unbuffered) on 64-bit computers. My computer is a 64 bit. So can I put two 16GB DDR4 modules in my computer?

the rules are complex. But let me list some.
- read the manual first for slot limits not just total max.
- DDR4 matched set, same. sure. works and correct speed.
- do not mix SKU means all same maker and p/n.
- buy only certified DDR4, from say Corsair or kingston, means they tested it in YOUR EXACT PC and is not generic.
- In some cases BIOS upgrades needed.

Hello
@lesliegug your computer is this one?
HP Pavilion 690-0024 Gaming Desktop PC Product Specifications
It is mentioned installed (to be checked)
8 GB
- Amount: 8 GB
- Speed: PC4-21300 MB/s
- Type: DDR4-2666
Yes you can install 16gb memory
By adding a module identical to the original one, if the brand is different, this may work, but you need exactly the same reference
Hp ref here :
934254-800 change country Memory - GNRC RAM UDIMM 8G DDR4 1.2V 2666 RoHS: COMPLY_2.06 |

Otherwise, you will sometimes have to buy the same two modules
