Is it an  HP Notebook - 15-ac636tu, you need to know what is the model/product of your machine.  its specs :

 

     https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c04919812

 

It has Two non-customer-accessible/upgradable memory module slots (Intel Core processors)
DDR3L-1600 dual channel support. Supports up to 8 GB of system RAM in the following configurations:

 

  • 8192-MB total system memory (8192×1) or (4096×2)
  • 6144-MB total system memory (4096×1) + (2048×1)
  • 4096-MB total system memory (4096×1) or (2048×2)
  • 2048-MB total system memory (2048×1)

Probably it is out of warranty now and you can ADD 1 stick of 4GB of RAM to your machine to make 8GB using the following part

 

   4-GB (PC3L, 12800, 1600-MHz)  part # 691740-005

 

Or use CPU-Z tool to find out the brand and specs of the existing RAM and order a same one. You can download CPU-Z tool from
