The System Information component will only tell you how much memory is
installed, not the available slots. However, if you know how much memory is
installed, you can check the model of your laptop at the manufacturer's
website to determine the maximum memory that can be installed on that
computer.

Open Help and Support on the start menu, type System Information in the
Search box and press enter, under "Pick a Task," click get information about
your computer, either "View general system information about this computer"
or "Find information about the hardware installed on this computer will give
you the amount of installed memory. You can also find the amount of
installed memory but opening Control Panel and opening the System applet
which will also tell you how much memory is installed.
