My model has a i5-8300h, 15.6 IPS 144Hz monitor, 128GB SSD + 1TB HDD, 4GB GTX 1050Ti, and 4GB RAM. (yep, i know)

I'm looking to add a RAM into the available slot. I just want to know if my model has single or dual channel SODIMM slots? Knowing whether it's a single or dual channel would greatly decide what RAM will I buy for the additional SODIMM slot.

Next is my PCI-e slots 4 lanes or 2 lanes? I know that NVMe is compatible with my model. I just want to know if my model has x4, x2, or even x1 lanes because it would be useless to buy a Samsung 970 if I can't make use of it's full potential. I already tried Hwinfo64 and it says Gen3.0 with 1x lanes but multiple users say that this is inaccurate and you would have no way of knowing.

Any answers are greatly appreciated.

Regards,
