Ram upgrade 8GB to 16GB

[Haruka256]

Good evening team,

I am willing to upgrade RAM on my laptop and am taking suggestions whether the new piece should be the same mhz. or higher. Some reviews I read specify that it came with 2 slots, though my device was never opened to be completely sure. On the HP Assistant it says that it currently has this ram installed:

Slot 1: 8GB A-DATA Technology 2400MHz

Should I buy exactly the same model so there is less chance of failure?

Thanks in advance for the help and ideas.
