Hi:

 

According to chapter 1, page 5 of the service manual, the max is 2 x 4 GB.

If you want to experiment to see if your notebook can run 2 x 8 GB of memory, I suggest you do this first to see if it is feasible...

 

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 maxcapacity and hit enter. 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.
