Hi:

 

Chapter 1 of the service manual indicates the max is 2 x 8 GB of memory.

 

Maintenance and Service Guide HP 15 Laptop PC

 

Normally, notebooks with Intel 8th gen core processors that have two memory slots will support 2 x 16 GB of memory.

 

The Crucial memory report indicates it will.

And you can also do this to confirm...

 

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 maxcapacity and hit enter. 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.
