Hi, 

 

I bought this laptop and it came with 4GB RAM, how much RAM will this laptop support.

 

i.e. could I replace the current ram with 1 x 16 GB  or 2 x 8 GB, what is possible?

 

Ive had a look for the manual / full specification on the website but it doesn't look to be available.

 

EDIT: here's a link to the exact mode: https://support.hp.com/gb-en/document/c05817138#AbT0

 

Thanks.
