Hi:

Your notebook's i7-7500U processor can run the memory at a maximum speed of 2133 MHz.

You can install faster memory than that, but it will only run at 2133 MHz.

2133 MHz memory is very hard to find, so most folks install DDR4-2400 or DDR4-2666 MHz memory in notebooks like yours.

Crucial 8GB DDR4-2400 SODIMM | CT8G4SFS824A | Crucial.com

You can install up to 2 x 8 GB of memory.

Below is the link to the service manual.  Chapter 1 has the memory upgrade info.

HP 15 Laptop PC Maintenance and Service Guide

If you want to install more than 2 x 8 GB of memory in your notebook, that may be possible.

You can also do this to see how much memory your notebook can actuallhy support:

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.

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.
