I have a Lenovo 310-15IKB, and I am trying to max out its specs. I see [link|https://www.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/lenovo/ideapad-310-(15-inch)|here|new_window=true] that the max amount of RAM my system can handle is a whopping 20GB. However, Lenovo, the manufacturer, says in the manual for the system that it only supports 16GB. Which is the true maximum RAM?
My second question is a little complicated. The laptop has 4GB of DDR4 RAM soldered to it's motherboard, and it also has a RAM slot for removable RAM. I currently have a 4GB DDR4 RAM card put in the slot, bringing the total to 8GB. This means I currently have the benefit of Dual Channel support. If I buy a 16GB RAM stick and put it in that slot, bringing me to 20GB, will I still have Dual Channel support?
I am very technically experienced, so I can buy the right RAM and install it if I know the answer to these two questions. Thanks!
