Hi:

Your notebook comes with 2 x 4 GB of DDR4-3200 memory.

You can't add more memory since there aren't any empty memory slots available, but you could remove the 2 x 4 GB memory chips and install either 2 x 8 GB or 2 x 16 GB DDR4-3200 memory chips.

The Crucial memory report indicates that it will:

Usually, the Crucial memory report is accurate.

You can also run this report to see 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. After the command prompt is opened, type wmic memphysical get maxcapacityEx and press the enter key.

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.
