Hello! My laptop model is HP Laptop 15s-eq2135ur. Windows 11 home. I have installed RAM DDR4 4gb x 2 pcs. Speed 3200 from Samsung. Can I buy one 16GB ddr4 ram? Will the board see 16gb + 4gb = 20 gb ?

Yes, it can be 8GB+4GB, 16GB+4GB but why you have to do that ?  You won't get the benefit of dual channels architecture.

It turns out that if you install one bar on 16gb, it makes no sense to leave the second on 4gb? What would you recommend in this case. One stick per (16gb) or two sticks per (2 x 8gb) or (16gb + 4gb)?
