Can I upgrade my laptop having AMD Ryzen 3 3250U processor and 4GB RAM with an 8GB RAM and work well

Will 8GB RAM be more compatible than 4GB RAM with my laptop having AMD Ryzen 3 3250U processor 4GB RAM when trying to upgrade it?

Hi:

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

Maintenance and Service Guide HP 14 Laptop PC

Chapter 1 has the memory upgrade info.

Your notebook has two memory slots and can support up to 2 x 8 GB of memory.

You posted that your notebook is running W10 32 bit.

If that was not a mistake, a 32-bit operating system cannot address more than 4 GB of memory.

If you are running a 64 bit operating system on your notebook, yes upgrading to 8 GB would be an improvement.

You may also want to consider adding an 8 GB memory chip in the empty slot and having 12 GB of memory.

Thank you so much.

Yes, the 32-bit was a mistake. My laptop's system type is 64-bit.

Will the additional 8GB RAM work perfectly?
