Extra ram memory

[PeterVo]

Currently my notebook has 6Gb ram on the motherboard ( 4+2Gb)

I would like to place more memory, but when searching on internet, I find all kind of different answers about the max memory I can place. Some say 6 Gb is the max, others say I can expand to 12 and others claim that even 16 Gb is possible,

Who can tell me which advice is correct ?
