1. For RAM: Your machine has 2 slot of RAM, supports 16GB max. You can have following upgrade options

(a) To  8GB: Keep existing 4GB and add 4GB to slot 2,

(b) To 12GB: Keep existing 4GB and add 8GB to slot 2,

(c) To 16GB: Discard 4GB and add 8GB to each slot.

Fully compatible RAM  (2400MHz will run at 2133MHz automatically):

Hello Banhien,

Thanks for your reply.. It should help.

Just one more question. I have an i3 7th generation processor under my laptop's hood.  What capacity of RAM would be wise to upgrade with. Is it 8GB ot 16GB ?  Can we leverage the full potential of 16GB RAM with the existing i3 Processor. ?
