Would like to install more memory to speed things up a bit.  Currently i have one 8G and one 4G.    Product ID is 1wp51ua#aba.    How much will this laptop handle?  TIA

Its specs

It has  12 GB DDR4-2133 SDRAM (1 x 4 GB, 1 x 8 GB) now and supports 16GB max. You can replace 4GB with SAME 8GB on other slot or

From 12GB to 16GB probably you can't see much improvement. Upgrading 1 TB 5400 rpm SATA to 1TB 2.5" SSD may help more. If you wish, please use

        https://www.crucial.com/products/ssd/crucial-mx500-ssd
        https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/product/consumer/860evo/
   Or similar from reputable vendors.

        For example
