Hi:

 

Unfortunately, HP has not kept up with the service manuals and only has the one for the older model series with the Intel 8th Gen core processors available.

 

HP 17 Laptop PC Maintenance and Service Guide

 

According to chapter 1 of that manual, your notebook can support 2 x 8 GB of memory.

 

You can do this to confirm how much memory your notebook can support:

 

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 hit enter.

 

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 for the model indicates it can support up to 2 x 32 GB of memory,
