Per the Service Manual:

 

2 customer-accessible/upgradable SODIMM slots

Supports dual-channel memory DDR3, 1333 MHz

Supports up to 8 GB of system memory

 

It would have to be 2 x 4 gig modules of DDR3-1333 to achieve 8 gigs. 4 gigs is the largest single module it can work with. 

 

You also have to be very careful. The 1st gen Intel Core processors (and yours is based on that architecture) require low-density memory. Not just any module will work in other words, ask here before you buy anything. 

 

The operating system is not the limiting factor it is the hardware. 8 gigs is the maximum that platform can support.
