EliteBook 8730w
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello everyone. I was wondering how much ram could I put in my HP EliteBook 8730w Mobile Workstation. It currently has  2 4GB ram sticks in each of 2 available ports. I don't want to do anything before knowing what the laptop can take. If anyone has any information it would be greatly appreciated.

It is much better to use SAME existing RAM but you can use other brand as long as it is compatible.
