Hi,

I have learnt on this forum that memory and hard drive upgrades are an accepted practice, as long as you do not break anything during the upgrade.

Your PC supports 16GB of DDR4-2133Mhz RAM (2x8GB). So you could add another 8GB to the second slot on motherboard. You can also use 2400Mhz RAM which will run at 2133Mhz. On page 1 and 32 of service manual you can see various configurations and steps to upgrade RAM.

You can also look at these HP videos to help with upgrade (click on memory module in list on left)

ok thanks, but one more question i don't want to risk my laptop. does hp service centre provide service to upgrading memory ? including the parts ?

Your welcome.

Yes, I believe they do. However it is going to be really expensive. Your laptop is one of the more simple laptops to upgrade, as you only need to remove the bottom cover. 

Let me know if you need further help,
