This is a good upgrade video. He does not cover memory upgrade but you can clearly see the memory slots at 4:47 among other places and this guy is a pretty good tech with good skills so very helpful:

Memory needed is DDR3L-1600 SO-DIMM and you need one more of these to bring it to 16 gigs. You currently have a single 8 gb module and an open slot for upgrade. 

 

8-GB (DDR3L-1600) 693374-005
