Here's the Manual:

 

Manual

 

Specs say your laptop has 4 gigs of RAM in a single DDR3L-1600 SO-DIMM

 

There is a single memory slot and it can have up to an 8 gig module. The hard part is getting to the memory slot. It requires quite a bit of technical gymnastics including removal of the motherboard. On a 1-10 its at least a 7.5 degree of difficulty. 

 

Upgrading from 4 to 8 gigs would make a difference you would notice but if you have to pay a tech to do this you are likely looking at at least $100 in labor and the 8 gig module is going to cost maybe $50:
