If you don't plan on installing 32 GB of memory, just add another 8 GB memory chip in the empty slot so you have 16 GB running in dual channel mode.

 

If you plan on installing 2 x 16 GB of memory in the future, then I recommend you go with your original plan of installing a 16 GB and leaving the 8 GB chip until you decide to replace it.

If you only want to add a 16 GB memory chip, I recommend you use the Crucial memory.

 

That would be the closest type of memory chip to the 8 GB memory chip HP installed in your notebook.

 

The Kingston CL20 memory most likely will not work at all.
