Hi:
Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.

Chapter 1 has the memory upgrade info.
The max is 2 x 8 GB of memory for a total of 16 GB.

Hi:
It will work just fine, but someday you will want to remove the 4 GB chip and replace it with an 8 GB chip so the memory can run in the better performing dual data rate (DDR) mode.
When you have an empty memory slot, or you install memory in mismatched capacities (2 + 4 GB or 4 + 8 GB) the memory runs in the lower performing single data rate (SDR) mode.
