Hi there!

I have an Acer A515-41G-12AX laptop. 
https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/support-product/7298?b=1&pn=NX.GPYAA.003

Everywhere I look I get the information that my laptop should have TWO SO-DIMM RAM slots (especially RAM manufacturers). The Acer product page above doesn't say anything about the number of RAM slots.

I physically inspected it, and it only has one slot under the cover. Windows Task Manager (Performance->Memory) says "Slots used: 1 of 1".

Crucial recommends a 16 GiB kit (2x8 GiB), which I clearly can't install as I have only ONE slot:

Crucial's support wouldn't believe me, they asked for an image of the laptop. Which is a bit ridiculous.

Anyways, I thought I should ask. I *could* open the whole laptop case instead of just the RAM cover, but I'm pretty confident that I won't find a second RAM slot.

Can anyone point me to the complete specs for this laptop, where it says the number of RAM slots?

Thanks!
