DDR4-2400 SO-DIMM is the right memory but two issues with your plan. 1. You are better off with 2 modules of matched size to allow dual channel memory operation. Seems odd, but 4 + 4 can actually perform better than 4 + 8.  2. HyperX would probably work but only because it will conform itself to work at the same speed and latency as the existing 4 gig module. You will get no performance benefit from "gaming" or "performance" memory on an HP laptop. Just use regular OEM type memory like Hynix or Samsung or Crucial.

The 4gb....dual channel will provide just a tiny bit better gaming performance. 8 gb total is plenty for most gaming.
