Hi:

Your notebook supports 2 x 8 GB of memory.

This chip should work fine in your notebook:

Amazon.in: Buy Crucial CT8G4SFS824A 8GB DDR4-2400 PC4-19200 CL-17 SODIMM RAM Online at Low Prices in...

Your notebook has a M.2 slot that supports NVMe SSDs and you can install a 1 TB SSD.

Below is the link to the service manual:

Thanks its really very helpful for me. I have 1 last question can i use single RAM of 16GB. if yes then which one is batter for me 2*8 GB or single 16GB.

You're very welcome.

2 x 8 GB would be better than 1 x 16 GB because 2 x 8 runs in the higher performing dual channel mode where 1 x 16 GB only runs in single channel mode.

However, maybe 2 x 16 GB of memory will work in your notebook.

You can find out by running this command:

1. In the search box, search for cmd and click Run as administrator.

This will open the command prompt.

2. Once command prompt is opened, type wmic memphysical get maxcapacityEx and press the enter key.

There, it will show the maximum RAM capacity your PC's motherboard can support.

The capacity is shown as Kilobytes, so you have to convert it to Gigabytes by dividing the number provided in the report by 1,048,576.

Now, if the report indicates you can install 32 GB of memory, then a single 16 GB memory chip should work and you can leave the 4 GB chip installed and have 20 GB of memory running in single channel mode and then someday if you want, you can remove the 4 GB chip, and install another 16 GB memory chip and have 32 GB running in dual channel mode.
