Hi:

 

Below is the link to the Crucial memory report for your notebook.

 

https://www.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/hP-Compaq/hp-250-g6-%28intel-core-i7-7500u---i5-7200u...

 

You can install a max of 2 x 8 GB of memory for a total of 16 GB.

 

You can remove the 4 GB chip and install an 8 GB chip and have 12 GB, but the memory will only run in single channel mode instead of the dual channel mode it is running in now with 2 x 4 GB of memory.

 

In order for the memory to run in dual channel mode, it has to be installed in matching capacities (2 x 4 GB, 2 x 8 GB...)
