According to official specs:

 

https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c05810483

 

You are already officially maxxed out. The memory in the machine is already the fastest you can get. But, unofficially, It is not officially advertised but well known in the tech community your laptop will run 2 x 16 = 32 gigs. 

 

Its DDR4-2400 SO-DIMM

 

Pricey stuff:

Your Service Manual

 

See pp. 37-45 for "how to". 

 

Upgrading to 32 gigs from 16 only makes sense if you are crushing the computer with massive video editing or other memory intensive tasks. Even gaiming is as good as it gets on 16 gigs. 32 is overkill. With the specs of your laptop if it is not running like a scared deer something is wrong. 

 

Post back with any questions and please accept as solution if its the info you needed.
