My laptop is i7 2ndgen
I have found Samsung’s M471B1G73EBO on amazon . It’s a 1600mhz stick. Will it be compatible with my system.
Please give me related suggestions.

Here is your Service Manual:
This does confirm you can have up to 16 gigs RAM on the Intel-based models in the series, and yours is an Intel model.
This is the HP specified 8 gig module:
Memory modules (2, DDR3, 10600, 1333-MHz): 8 GB 634091-001
The Samsung memory you ask about is not what you need. That is low voltage DDR3L-1600 and your laptop takes regular 1.5 volt DDR3-1333 memory like this:
The upgrade is going to cost over $100 so be sure you really need 16 gigs. Many users see no difference in operation between 8 gigs and 16 gigs.
Page 66 of the Manual shows how to do the upgrade.
Post back with any further questions and please accept as solution if this is the answer you needed.
