See chapter 1 of the service manual for the memory upgrade information...

 

Maintenance and Service Guide (hp.com)

 

The notebook has two memory slots and according to the manual, it supports 2 x 8 GB of DDR4-3200 memory that runs at 2933 MHz.

 

Your notebook may be able to support more than 16 GB of memory.

 

You can run this command to see how much memory your notebook can support:

 

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

 

This will open the command prompt.

 

2. After the command prompt is opened, type wmic memphysical get maxcapacityEx and press the enter key.

 

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.
