Can I upgrade the RAM in my Laptop?

[L3gion_VII]

Hello
I am have been using this Laptop since the past 3 years.
It is a HP Laptop 15-bs1xx
Intel Core i3-8130u @2.20 Ghz (3.4 Ghz with Turbo)
Intel Integrated Graphics 620 UHD
8 GB SIngle Channel DDR4 RAM

I am always running short on RAM even though I kill all useless tasks from Task Manager and even uninstalled some softwares I don't use.
What I am asking is that, it the RAM Upgradable in this Laptop of mine??? I would really like to upgrade it to 16 GB DDR4 RAM (8*2 GB Dual Channel because Task Manager says I have 1 out of 2 ram slots available)

Please Help. Thank you in advance

Hi:

Yes, you can install another 8 GB memory chip in the empty slot and have 16 GB running in dual channel mode.

Below is the link to the service manual.

Thank you very much, just one thing. Should I go for Crucial RAM options because HP website directs me to Crucial for anything.

You're very welcome.

Crucial memory will be fine.

I have Crucial memory in one of my notebook PC's and one of my desktop PC's.

Crucial is a division of Micron, a very reputable memory manufacturing company.
