I have an HP Laptop (Model: 15 bs0xx) running an i3 6006u @ 2.00GHz with a memory of 4GB DDR4 RAM (single channel). I am currently trying to upgrade the ram to 8gigs by purchasing another stick of ddr4 but to my surprise finding one that is right isn't as easy and I probably need some help.

I've searched up some ways to identify my ram type and one of them told me to use an app called CPU-Z which I then did. It says that my ram type is a samsung ram model m471a5244cb0-crc and has a max bandwidth of DDR4-2400. I don't really understand what those terms really and regardless of that I searched up using the keywords i found with the cpuz app in my local online market and I found this one model which may be the closest to what I'm searching for:\

Apologies if the site isn't in english its a popular indonesian online marketplace for various stuffs*

I was wondering if this stick could be the right type for my laptop, I heard that many people tried buying an extra ram stick but the laptop rendered them useless coz of its difference in model and types so I'd like to hear what you guys think if its compatible. Thanks
