Hi:

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.

Maintenance and Service Guide HP 17 Laptop PC

Chapter 1 has the memory upgrade information.

According to the manual, your notebook has two memory slots and can support 2 x 8 GB of DDR4 memory.

If you were wanting to install more than 16 GB of memory, run this command to see if your notebook will support more than 2 x 8 GB of memory:

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.

If the report indicates 33,xxx,xxx, then you should be able to install 2 x 16 GB of memory.
