Hi:

Your notebook can support up to 2 x 16 GB of DDR4-2400 CL17 memory.

That is the maximum speed your notebook's i5-7300HQ processor can run the memory at.

You can also install DDR4-3200 CL22 memory which will automatically bridge to 2400 MHz.

Below is the link to the service manual.

Chapter 1 indicates the max memory is 2 x 8 GB but since your notebook has an Intel HQ processor, it will support 32 GB.

You can run this command to confirm how much memory your notebook can support:

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.
