I have an Acer Aspire-7 laptop with 8 GB ram with 2 slots(only one slot occupied)

I want add more ram to the laptop

When I run command "wmic memphysical get maxcapacity, memorydevices "

I got the results as follows

MaxCapacity MemoryDevices 

8388608      2

It's saying that that max capacity is 8GB. Is it saying about the current maximum capacity or is that the maximum the device can support computer or is it talking about max ram per slot

Which of the following configurations of ram is possible

  Slot 1         Slot2

  8                0             (Current RAM)

  8                8             

  8               16

Which one of this is possible

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Devices and drivers

    Thank you for the screenshot, your laptop model has a maximum RAM specification of 16GB (2 x 8GB)

    Some options to view maximum RAM:

    a) computer manufacturer / motherboard owners manual

    b) Crucial scanner

    Crucial System Scanner | Memory Upgrade Scanner | Crucial | Crucial.com

    Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    That command is known not to produce correct results sometimes, I will find the Maximum RAM capacity for you, click your Start Button, then just type msinfo and press Enter, please provide a screenshot of the resulting System Information window.
