You should be able to, even though chapter 1 of the service manual indicates the max memory is 2 x 8 GB.

 

Maintenance and Service Guide

 

You can run this command to see how much memory your notebook can support:

 

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 maxcapacityEx and press the enter key.

 

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.

 

The Crucial memory report indicates it will support 2 x 32 GB of memory:

Then your only other option would be to trust what the reputable Crucial memory company has to say...
