[SOLVED] What memory specs to opt for considering the following details of existing RAM

[Divij G]

Hello guys an gals,
im using a Lenovo Y40 intel i7 5500U, 8GB, 1TB.
need your help to decide on which 8GB RAM stick to buy to upgrade it to 16GB total.
According to lenovo website, my RAM is "DDR3L"
When i opened the laptop, its written "DDR3" 1.5V on the RAM slot.
The RAM sticker says: hmt41gs6bfr8a-pb which points to "DDR3" 1.35V on newegg
CPUz test suggests its a DDR3 RAM albeit running on 1.35V!

Which RAM shall i buy to turn my 8GB lenovo Y40 to a 16GB one?

A picture of the stickered information on the stick of ram will help us two fold. Also, the slots on the motherboard will help us. DDR3 ram running at 1.35v is DDR3L, FYI.

With a ram upgrade, either buy the same stick of ram or buy a dual channel ram kit. Make sure you're on the latest BIOS update for your laptop prior to any hardware upgrades.
