It says 8gbx1 up top, so presumably you just need 1 more. Apparently 2 m.2 slots too. I think that's pretty common these days unless you get a $100 chromebook.
Sometimes it is soldered in.
Sometimes you have to take the laptop apart. Some screws are hidden under the rubber feet. The you have to remove 6 more screws and pry the battery out since it is held in place by a mild adhesive, then take off the RAM cover (easy), pop out the old RAM and insert the new RAM. Then you get to put it back together. Not bad if you have the proper equipment, static free environment, and everything works correctly. It probably takes 15 minutes after you find the instructions if you are doing that particular style for the first time. I would guess 5 minutes or less if you are experienced and all goes well.
My favorite was a Lenovo a few years ago that required taking the laptop apart and removing the keyboard. Taking it apart was not all that bad but lots of tabs and slots in tight spaces made it time consuming and tedious to put back together. The keyboard came out easily, putting it back in was a challenge.
If fairness, the post did specify 2022 so perhaps more laptops have a door for the RAM that makes adding more trivially simple. The HP I did recently is probably the only one I have done this year. But even if that is the case changing the RAM out is not universally simple so check first.
I don't mind changing RAM out and I will do it for friends if it is not soldered in. But not everyone has the tools or likes the tedium. Even though modern computers can withstand static better than older ones one good spark can still damage your computer.
*This particular model looks moderately easy. Just take the case apart, #remove the battery, change out the easily accessible RAM, put the case back together.
#Dell instructions recommend removing the battery. You can access the RAM without removing the battery. I am not expert enough to know what rules are safe to break so I would remove the battery per the instructions.
