Hi:

 

Your notebook has two memory slots.

 

Here is the link to the service manual...the memory upgrade info can be found in chapter 1 on page 2.  16 GB ( 2 x 8 GB).

You're very welcome.

 

Any decent quality memory module should work.

 

Get one with the same specs as the one in there now.

 

I have zipped up and attached a free utility below, that will provide all kinds of info regarding the memory module in your PC--maybe right down to what chip manufacturer made it.

 

Then you can buy the same or equivalent module with the same specs.
