HP Recommended
Product: HP Elitebook 8460P
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have an Elitebook 8460p with Intel Core i5-2540m. It currently has 2 sticks of Samsung 4GB PC3-10600s. I wonder if I would face a problem if I upgrade it to 2x8GB Samsung PC3-12800s. According to the specs sheet, 

Standard:
DDR3 PC3-10600 SDRAM (1333 MHz)
Two SODIMM slots supporting dual-channel memory
2GB, 4GB, and 8GB SODIMMs
Maximum:
Ungradable to 16GB with 8GB SODIMMs in slots 1 and 2
Dual-channel:
Maximized dual-channel performance requires SODIMMs of the same size and speed in both memory slots.

 

I am also planning to upgrade the CPU to Intel Core i7-2860qm which supports PC3-12800s in the future, so that's why I am considering PC3-12800s as an option. Please help.
