Hi:

If this is the model notebook you have, it uses DDR4-2666 MHz memory.

You can install DDR4-3200 memory, but it will only run at 2666 MHz.

HP only has the service manual for the older 15-dy0xxx model series.

Maintenance and Service Guide HP 15 Laptop PC

According to chapter 1 of the manual, your notebook has two memory slots and can support up to 2 x 8 GB of memory.

You can do this to see how much memory your notebook can actually support.

1. In the search box, search for cmd and click Run as administrator.

This will open the command prompt.

2. Once command prompt is opened, type wmic memphysical get maxcapacityEx and hit enter.

There, it will show the maximum RAM capacity your PC's motherboard can support.

The capacity is shown as Kilobytes, so you have to convert it to Gigabytes by dividing the number provided in the report by 1,048,576.

thank you for the quick response it got this results : 33,554,432 meaning my system supports 32 GB of RAM ? or second 

As per the current memory installed it say 3200 MHZ meaning my mother board will support up to 3200 MHZ ?

You're very welcome.

The report is telling you that your notebook supports 2 x 16 GB of memory for a total of 32 GB.

Run the free utility that I zipped up and attached below and it will tell you what speed the DDR4-3200 memory HP installed is running at.

According to the specs below, the maximum speed the memory will run at is 2666 MHz.

If the report indicates that the installed memory is running at 3200 MHz, then the HP specs of 2666 MHz are incorrect.

You're very welcome.

According to your screenshots, the current memory installed is DDR4-3200, so that is the memory speed you should buy.
