Product: Probook 430
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

In my  HP Probook 430 G2 I have 4 GB RAM installed. I'd like to upgrade it to min 8 GB. My question is:

- its possible to buy another 4 GB RAM and "add" it to the RAM slot or I have to buy 8GB RAM and change it?

- please specify type of the RAM (product no etc.) which I have tu buy and where

Thank You

Zdenek
