Product: Example: Pavilion 14 ce0043tx
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have a hp pavilion 14 ce0043tx and i was wondering if I can safely upgrade its ram from 4GB to, for example, a 16GB ram. It says my laptop can go up to 16GB ram. but unfortunately I only have 1 RAM slot. can anyone check for real if I indeed have only 1 ram slot? I have been searching online and it also says I have 1 ram slot and the task manager also inputted 1 of 1 in bank slots for ram. One other thing is that my friend said that usually one-slotted RAM is being soldered to the motherboard and thus making it extremely hard or impossible to upgrade. I just want to know if I can upgrade my RAM. Thank you!!

It's not soldered but there is one slot as you have already figured out. It can run a single 16 gig module of DDR4-2400 SO-DIMM. It can also take DDR4-2666. 

 

Manual

 

Pages 51-52 and then page 71-72. 

 

16-MB (mistake should be GB in manual), DDR4-2400, 1.2-V 865396-855

So it is just a simple process? Take out the RAM then switch it to another RAM of my choice? without damaging my motherboard or any hardware? Thanks by the way for the response.
