    Yes you can add an 8gb stick
    Link below to crucial for guaranteed compatibility for your exact model, I write down the part number and order from Amazon, it's faster delivery and cheaper

    I would go with this one, your model only supports 2400mhz

    It's not a problem, your laptop will run the 2666mhz with no problems it will just run at 2400mhz, so don't worry
