Yes. Your laptop uses DDR4-3200 SO-DIMM memory. Get stock OEM product. Example: the SKHynix currently installed is OEM memory. Avoid performance or gaming RAM (Ripjaws, Vengeance, etc). HP provides memory that runs at the fastest speeds and best latency the motherboard can handle. Stock Crucial, Samsung, Timetec (Amazon's in-house brand made by Hynix)etc. will work

https://www.amazon.com/Timetec-3200MHz-PC4-25600-Unbuffered-Compatible/dp/B08PY55S6F/ref=sr_1_12?cri...

 

This is the Service Manual for the predecessor 15z-ec000 models but the procedure for replacing memory will be the same:

See pp. 28-32.
