HP 15-cc183cl - Can't find the Maximum capacity. Scan shows upgrade from preinstalled 12GB to 16GB.

I'm looking to max out the RAM on my laptop and converting it to my media server.  I have found no documentation that mentions the maximum RAM capacity for my HP 15-cc183cl however, a scan on Crucial indicates an upgrade from the 12GB that came preinstalled, to 16GB. 

That can't be the maximum, can it?....Two slots, currently have 8GB and 4GB installed.  I really hoped I might be able to install two 16GB modules. 

Any input would be appreciated.

Windows users can determine the maximum RAM capacity in the Command prompt (Run as Administer) with the command here- "wmic memphysical get MaxCapacity" without the quotes and divide the value by 1024 That will give you the total amount supported by your laptop.

Be advised that HP likes memory with relaxed timings, like the vanilla Crucial modules, or Samsung, SK Hynix modules work well. Don't buy any modules labeled as Performance ram, as there are no adjustments you can make in bios for timings.

Thanks.  I get 32,768, which I assume equates to 32GB.

Why is this so difficult to find, rather than including it in the literature for each model, or better yet, simply listing it in Settings>System>About..Wouldn't the maximums be as important as what's installed?

I appreciate the help.
