Upgrading RAM for HP probook 450 G1 to 32GB

1

I constantly see that max ram available for this laptop is 16GB, it has two slots, one slot 8GB.

However, I see a DDR3 module that is 16GB one stick, could I buy two of these and put it in? Processor is i7 4702MQ and I see it supports 32GB RAM and I'm not aware of anything else in the pc ecosystem that could limit RAM besides the CPU and RAM slots in the motherboard.

Should I be worried or I can just buy 32 GB RAM and it will work?

But what is the reasoning behind it? What happens if I put in 32GB ? Is there any reason it could not work? – Vanilla Face – 2018-01-23T10:10:07.383
