Hi,

I am assuming it is the 15-ac101tu (there is also the 14-ac101tu)

so max RAM is 16GB of DDR3L 1600MHz RAM (2x8GB)

Example

https://www.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/hp---compaq/hp-15-ac101tu

 

On page 46 of service manual you can see the steps to install the RAM

You should also replace the Hard Drive with a 2.5" SATA3 SSD which would give a great boost to the everyday performance of the machine.

 

Hope it helps,

David

If you use 2 modules of the same RAM (capacity and speed) it will run in dual channel mode.

The RAM in the machine is not single channel. It is running in single-channel because it is "alone", one module. If you insert another RAM module of the same size (GB) and speed the system should automatically run in dual-channel mode.

OK.

From the images, you can see that in slot one you have

SK Hynix PC3-8500F  4GB   which runs at 1066MHz   so it is not 1600MHz RAM. It is not the same RAM you linked in your post.

In the second slot you have 1600MHz RAM 4GB by Micron.

 

So to run the RAM in dual-channel model you need two modules of the same speed.

 

Hope it helps,

David
