The following link shows specs of your computer
https://support.hp.com/id-en/document/c04551968
It currently has 4GB of RAM and it is running Windows 10 32bit therefore my answer is no, no point to add more RAM because your machine won't be able to see anything over 4GB.
For 64 bit Operating system, it
Supports 16GB of RAM the following configurations:
Two SODIMM memory module slots
DDR3L-1600 MHz dual channel support
DDR3L-1333 MHz dual channel support
Max. DDR3L-1600MHz Single Channel Support
- 16384 MB (8192 MB + 8192 MB)
- 12288 MB (8192 MB×1+ 4096 MB×1; not supported on computer models with a 32-bit operating system)
- 8192 MB (8192 MB×1 or 4096 MB×2; not supported on computer models equipped with a 32-bit operating system)
- 6144 MB (4096 MB×1 + 2048 MB×1; not supported on computer models equipped with a 32-bit operating system)
- 4096 MB (4096 MB×1 or 2048 MB×2)
Regards.
