Upgrading HP 15-fd0023dx RAM

[NVR_IC]

I own a HP 15-fd0023dx laptop (i3-1215u, 8gb RAM)

I recently ordered a 16gb ram kit under the pretense that I could upgrade the laptop myself. I was doing research and saw that it's apparently "non customer accessible" or something along those lines. I saw another post saying this didn't necessarily mean it couldn't be upgraded. 

Question: Is it possible for me to upgrade the ram on my laptop by myself?

According to HP PartSurfer, it appears that you can upgrade the RAM in your HP 15.6 inch Laptop PC 15-fd0023dx (A9HM6UA):

Apparently, HP determined the following:

And the manual provides the best information -although this manual does not reference your processor: i3-1215U:

Meaning, the best I can tell you is that your laptop likely has only one upgradeable RAM slot, based on the HP Team's statement mentioned "slot" (singular) -not "slots" (plural)...

Before you attempt to open up your laptop, you can click on the link below and find out the max RAM capacity your laptop can handle: https://www.shareus.com/computer/2-steps-to-check-maximum-ram-capacity-of-your-computer.html.
