@stunna7,

Welcome to the HP Forums!

Thank you for posting your query on this forum, it's a great place to find answers.

Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.

I checked the specifications of your computer and see that your computer does support 12GB RAM.

Below are the details on the RAM supported on your computer.

DDR3L-1600 MHz dual channel support

12GB (8GB×1+ 4GB×1; not supported on computer models with a 32-bit operating system)

Please refer to the below service guide for more information.

Hi,

Your PC will support max 16GB of DDR3L 1600Mhz (2x8GB)

There are two slots and at the moment you have one stick of 4GB and one empty slot.

Yes, you can add a 8GB stick of DDR3L 1600Mhz from your preferred brand such as Crucial, Corsair....

On page 116 of service manual you can see the steps to upgrade RAM, which is not so easy in your notebook, as you need to remove the motherboard to get to the RAM slots.
