I believe on Intel Core 2d gen Quad Core systems they will recognize 16 gigs. But it would help if you could provide your exact model number. dv7-5xxxaa? 

The 16 gig thing is not reflected in the Manual but has been discovered by users

It shows a 584037-001  on the tag bottom side of the laptop. but no other markings that i see.

Look inside the battery bay

dv7-6C95DX . does that look right ?

Absolutely. 

See page 5....on that model series 16 gigs is expressly specified in the manual:

Manual

Both the dv7-5xxx and the dv7-6xxx series used 2d gen Quad Core CPUs but on different chipsets and yours has always been known to take 16 gigs.

Just trying to find out what the max memory capacity of a Pavilion DV7-1245dx would be?  I have heard 8gb, 12gb and 16gb in 64 bit mode using Win 10
