Chapter 1 of the service manual indicates the maximum memory is 2 x 8 GB DDR4-2400.

I'm pretty sure that since your notebook has the i7-7700HQ processor, it will support 2 x 16 GB of DDR4-2400 memory.

 

You can confirm that by running this command:

 

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

 

This will open the command prompt.

 

2. Once 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.

 

The Crucial memory report also indicates that 32 GB of memory is supported:
