RAM Upgrade for HP Notebook 14-dq1033cl

[Square2Cat]

I want to upgrade my laptop to 16 GB, using two 8GB rams. It's a SODIMM form factor with 2 slots, only one is being used at 4GB with a speed of 2667 MHz. I have struggled to find out what RAM would be compatible, crucial does not even know the existence of my laptop. Would a "Crucial 16GB Kit (2x8GB) DDR4-3200 SODIMM" work? Its DDR4, 1.2V, SODIMM. 

It says in the maintenance manual for memory: "DDR4-2400 dual-channel support (DDR4-3200 bridge to 2666, DDR4-2666 downgrade to DDR4-2400)". Should I purchase this RAM or is it not possible to upgrade?

It has  4 GB DDR4-2666 SDRAM (1 x 4 GB)  now. You can upgrade to

• 8GB: add same existing RAM to slot 2 or using Crucial 4GB DDR4-2666 SODIMM.
• 16GB: install 2x8GB using  Crucial 16GB Kit (2x8GB) DDR4-3200 SODIMM      (Ram will run at 2666MHz)
• 32GB: Install 2x16GB using  Crucial 32GB Kit (2x16GB) DDR4-3200 SODIMM   (Ram will run at 2666MHz)
• 64GB: Install 2x32GB using Crucial 64GB Kit (2x32GB) DDR4-3200 SODIMM   (Ram will run at 2666MHz)

I don't know how you managed to find compatible RAM when even Crucial's scanner didn't recognize my device... You are amazing, thanks!
