The Crucial memory you want to buy should work fine and since your notebook can support 2 x 16 GB of memory, it will support 24 GB of memory.

Just note that the memory will still run in single channel mode because in order for the memory to run in dual channel mode, it must be installed in matching capacities (2 x 4 Gb, 2 x 8 GB, 2 x 16 GB...).

See chapter 1 of the service manual for the memory upgrade information:

Thank you So Much 😊

Last thing I want, if i purchase this 16 gb ram, i can't able to use with my pre-installed 8gb ram in 2nd slot?

You're very welcome.

Yes, that would be fine.

The memory just won't run in dual channel mode.

The service manual does not show a 16 + 8 GB configuration, but they do show an 8 + 4 configuration and that would be no different except for the greater amount of memory.
