The maximum storage capacity of this model configuration is: Up to two drives, 2x M.2 SSD - M.2 2280 SSD up to 2TB. This model configuration ships with 16GB DDR4-3200MHz RAM (8GB Soldered DDR4-3200 + 8GB SO-DIMM DDR4-3200MHz RAM), one memory soldered to systemboard, one DDR4 SO-DIMM slot, dual-channel capable. The maximum RAM this model configuration can support is: Up to 24GB (8GB soldered + 16GB SO-DIMM) DDR4-3200MHz RAM. We recommend you consult with your certified technician about your upgrade options.

You have to read Lenovo tech manuals and know Lenovo-speak in it to know that they have tested it to those RAM capacities, but it states that it can do more in the future (which is long in the past now). The correct full answer is that you can add a 32 GB stick in the slot, for 40 GB total. However, you will only have 16GB in Dual Channel, the remaining 24GB is single channel. The soldered 8GB is single rank, and ideally you should get 22 CAS Latency (timing 22-22-22-52, which is a standard JEDEC #13 industry profile which any DDR4-3200 (1600 MHz) RAM like T-Force, GSkill, etc. can run. Just ensure for 'best' performance, you use 1-Rank aka 1R or 1-R. You never need the expensive versions of a maker's RAM with advanced (OC) timings for this machine, it cannot use those higher timings and its a complete waste of $4 to $15 for those JEDEC timings. If you are not fluent in all this, you just need basic DDR4-3200 RAM, up to 32GB. Its dirt cheap.
