Yes, you can install 2 x 16 GB of DDR4-2666 MHz CL19 memory in your notebook.

 

You can also install 2 x 16 GB of DDR4-3200 MHz CL22 in your notebook that will automatically run at 2666 MHz.

 

Below is the link to the service manual where you can find the memory removal and replacement procedure:

thank you for the quick reply !

i will try that , does it has to be cl19 or cl22 or does any ddr4 2666 Mhz  fit?. 

HP Recommended

You're very welcome.

 

If you install DDR4-2666 MHz memory it needs to be CL19.

 

If you install DDR4-3200 MHz memory, it needs to be CL22.

 

That is because your notebook was designed to run that specification, and the BIOS is locked and does not allow you to change the memory XMP.

 

So, for example, if you were to install a DDR4-2666 CL15 performance memory chip, it most likely will not work because the BIOS will probably not be able to automatically adjust to that timing specification.
