Hi:

According to chapter 1 of the service manual, your notebook only supports up to 2 x 8 GB of DDR4-2400 memory.

HP Spectre x360 Convertible PC Maintenance and Service GuideIMPORTANT! This document is intended for...

If you want to see if your notebook will support more than that, you can do this to see if it is possible:

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.

You can install DDR4-2400, DDR4-2666 or DDR4-3200 memory but it will all run at 2400 MHz because that is the fastest speed your notebook's processor can run the memory at (if it has an Intel 8th gen core processor).  Intel 7th Gen core processors run the memory at 2133 MHz.

If the report indicates you can install 32 GB of memory, this should be a compatible 16 GB memory chip.
