Hi:

Below is the link to the Crucial memory report for your notebook.

Crucial indicates the max memory is 64 GB, but chapter 1 of the service manual indicates the max is 2 x 16 GB.

You can confirm how much memory your PC can support by:

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.

Thanks, can i use a 3200 mHz ram then?

You're very welcome. 

Yes, you can use a DDR4-3200 memory module, but it will only run at 2666 MHz, because that's the fastest speed your notebook's processor can run the memory at.
