I accidentally ordered this RAM and can't return it. It's scheduled to arrive tomorrow. I'm unsure if it will fit my laptop, which is an HP Pavilio gaming 15-ec0300nd Ryzen 5 3550H 1660Ti Max-Q. Here are the full specs: https://support.hp.com/rs-en/document/c06506069 RAM that I purchased - KF432S20IB/8 link - https://www.kingston.com/dataSheets/KF432S20IB_8.pdf
It's a tiny laptop, but the issue isn't its size—it's the speed in megahertz.
It should function. Your laptop's RAM is 2400 MHz, but there’s no indication it supports higher speeds. Regardless, the quicker RAM will operate at the maximum speed your device can handle. At least this holds for DDR3; I’m not sure if DDR4 can run slower. SO-DIMM refers to the physical design, while SDRAM describes the chip technology used.
It's accurate that quicker RAM performs better, yet at lower speeds your laptop can still function. You might find helpful guidance by searching online for "A Faster ram works on an older motherboard" to understand more.
