And yes i find manual for this laptop i opened this laptop by that manual and it have drawn two memory cards but its all it says about memory cards. I have pictures of laptop and everything else and i will put them here.
Configuration from Specy software
It says that i have one free slot? but i still dont see it.

There is no second memory module slot in this model notebook.
You will need to replace the installed module with a module of higher capaity to uppgrade the memory capacity.
On page three the manual describes two slots only on selected models. It does not describe which models they are.

Spending money before making certain that a part is compatible with a PC is an unfortunate error that can happen to anyone. It pays to research first to avoid surprises. I know that is not what you want to hear, but it is a good philosophy to follow when upgrading.

I know but when on paper that you get with product says that max memory is 8gb and that you have 2 memory slots you think that it will be like that. To me that is same if there would be wroten that you are buying laptop with i7 processor and you get dual core processor. You would be angry.
