Laptop memory upgrade

[Wietn]

Hi

 

I have a laptop with 8gb memory and i want to upgrade it to 16. 

My laptop is the medion Erazer p6661 with an i7-6500u and at the moment 8gb ddr3 1600MHz.

 

My question is: Will 16gb ddr4 be compatible with the system?

I have done some research and my CPU can support DDR4. I can't find anything for my motherbord...

Someone who knows more on this?

I’m pretty sure they’re not interchangeable.

If I'm not mistaken, the RAM has to do with the motherboard, so you'll have to stick to ddr3.

Unlikely you can swap it to DDR4 and honestly would be a waste of money.

Can i upgrade to 16gb DDR3 1866MHz? Or do i need to keep the 1600MHz?
