Good day, I have an asus x415EP notebook and im looking to upgrade its ram. Currently I have 8GB DDR4 3200 accdg to windows system. At first I downloaded CPU Z to check how many slots i have for expansion, so i have the 8gb in slot1(* edit: 4GB in slot 1) and nothing for slot 2...before i decided to get a 32gb upgrade online, i opened the back panel of the notebook and saw a 4GB installed in the only slot i saw available....does this mean i can only have a maximum of 36GB here? or am i not seeing another empty expansion slot at the back?
 

4GB DDR4 on board
4GB DDR4 SO-DIMM
Total system memory upgradeable to:12GB
i found the site https://www.asus.com/ph/laptops/for-home/all-series/asus-x415-11th-gen-intel/techspec/
exactly what you said...well i guess im stuck with 12 on this machine...so to make it 12 i get an 8GB DDR4 3200 and that shouldnt give me issues right? i can just get any brand?.. sorry im a total noob. Why would the site say there should be 1 more sodimm slot when theres already a 4gb plugged into it...
 
Look at the ram slots
Is there one dimm that seems to be removeable, or is there two.
I think you may have one 4gb channel of ram soldered in.
The specs looks like your only upgrade would be to 12gb by adding a 8gb module to replace the 4gb module installed.

use cpuz to get the ram spec and get the same spec one but 8GB

Go here and run the scanner see what it shows.
