Hi:

HP only has the maintenance and service guide for the older model series on your notebook's support page.

Victus by HP 16.1 inch Gaming Laptop PC 16-d1 (53F48AV) Manuals | HP® Customer Support

According to chapter 1 of the manual for the older series, it supports 2 x 16 GB of memory.

You can do this 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 hit enter.

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.

Do you know if your notebook has DDR4 or DDR5 memory?

You need to make sure that you buy the right speed memory.

Hi Paul, thank you for your explaination, its been very helpful! My laptop is currently using 8GB DDR5 micro technology RAM that runs at 4800 MHz. I wanna put 2x 16GB DDR5 chips. What manufacturer do u suggest, or it doesnt matter?

You're very welcome.

I recommend the Crucial brand memory for your notebook.
