Please use the following way to find out the amount of RAM it supports

 

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 hit enter.

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

Thank you for your help.

how about available memory slots?

does the 1x8 mean only one slot or 1x8 memory is connected?
