Question about RAM upgrade

Hi - apologies in advance if this is outside the scope of this sub. Acquired an all-in-one HP desktop and it's in need of RAM. Hoping to upgrade it from 4 to 16GB. I'm prepared to install it myself, found a video or two on diassembling the case etc - problem is I don't know how to identify the correct RAM to buy. Any advice appreciated.

EDIT: Solved, thanks all!

If it doesn't require specific size ram like the smaller laptop RAM, then any DDR4 RAM should work. From that PDF I can see that it is already using DDR4 RAM.

It looks as though it's ddr3 not ddr4? Or am I missing it?

Oh on the first section it's saying ddr3 at the bottom under ram, but ddr4 under the specs, odd

It's hard to find info on the A4-9125 but it looks to have come out in 2017ish so it should be using DDR4

So I don't know what language that is in but I can tell that you need ddr3 ram, which is slightly older. I would recommend getting the same speed if you can, or more since it's possible that there is a limit to what it can actually run it at. That being said I'm not familiar enough where to buy it from or what other factors are included

Thanks. I think it's DDR4 - from the PDF:

4 GB DDR4-2133 SDRAM

I forgot the PDF was in Spanish - my bad :/

On page 2 it does say ddr3 though right? Or am I going crazy?
