Official website says upgradable can be only 8GB,,,,,, which is an authentic source for info

Does that mean if I use upgradable 16GB means total will be 24GB with soldered one won't show in the system because of the limitation ?
Thx

According to Crucial, you can add up to a 32GB SO-DIMM. That would max you at 40GB.

Your total memory will be the 8GB you have now, plus however much you install.

On my another Vivobook, the specs say the maximum is 12 GB, but I actually installed 16 GB alongside the soldered RAM, and the system recognizes it all.

I see thank you very much Speckddf,,,,did you buy SO-DIMM DDR4 type ? I know it might be different from one laptop to another

Yes, I got a SO-DIMM DDR4 stick. It seems to work fine even though the specs say 12 GB max.
