Hi, @Micha6 there is a possibility that your laptop can contain 32GB RAM capacity, and to check the maximum ram capacity of your laptop follow these steps.

 

Step 1: Press Windows key + R simultaneously. Then type cmd in the search box and press Enter.

Step 2: In Command Prompt window, type wmic memphysical get maxcapacity and press Enter.

Finally, the maximum capacity of RAM is shown on the screen (in kilobytes). Then you can convert kilobytes to gigabytes.

33554432KB / 1024 = 32768MB, 32768MB / 1024 = 32 GB, or use a tool to convert it.

That is the maximum RAM capacity that your computer can support.

 

To find compatible RAM for your system use this resource.

Thanks a lot.

It's been a great help.

Does the result of this procedure includes the 2 ram's slots of the laptop?

HP Recommended

Yes, the two RAM Slots are used to add the two RAMs.
