We need the model number of the laptop but just about any Intel Core 7th gen or higher or AMD Ryzen based system will accept 32 gigs and some of the newest gen will actually accept 64 gigs. For almost all users 16 gigs of memory is plenty. That is a lot of RAM and unless you are doing video or audio content creation or compiling huge banks of Code or other high end data crunching 16 gigs will serve you as well as 32.
