ECC disabled, Memory not upgradeable?

I need to add memory to this Mac and thought it was upgradeable. At least that's what the sales person told me when I bought it. How can I know? And if so, how can I purchase more memory? Specs?

Thanks a lot.


MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15

Fair point. This Mac is:
MacBook Pro

  Model Identifier: MacBookPro15,1
  Memory: 16 GB


MacBook Pro 15-Inch "Core i7" 2.6 Touch/2018


Both storage and RAM (memory) is soldered to the logic- board— it is not upgradable.


Ram choice is at the point of purchase only, not after the fact.

Memory shows ECC: Disabled ref: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7546096


Maybe if you say what exact Mac this is we can say something constructive.
