I am planning to purchase a used MacBook Pro from someone, and the configuration is as mentioned:
MacBook Pro 15" (A1286) Late 2011
i7 2,2 GHz
8 GB RAM
500 GB HDD
Will I be able to upgrade the RAM to 16 GB for this model of MacBook?

1You can go to EveryMac and lookup the specs via serial number. This will tell you what's upgradable and what's not.– fsbCommented Jun 17, 2019 at 15:58

I find this is upgradable. Can you also confirm if possible?– ArefeCommented Jun 17, 2019 at 16:03

1I can't because I don't have the same laptop. I'd just go to the same site I gave you. This is a pretty authoritative site so I'd believe what they tell you.– fsbCommented Jun 17, 2019 at 16:06
