RAM upgrade late 2013 macbook pro

Can anyone tell me if I can upgrade my late 2013 MacBook Pro 13" Retina to 16Gb, right now it's running on 8 Gb.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

Not without selling it and buying one with 16GB. The RAM in a Retina MacBook Pro is soldered to the motherboard and not upgradable after that specific one leaves the factory.

OWC is the best place to buy it,

Oops, wrong model.

Make an appointment at you nearest Optometrist. The evaluation will not be free unless your heath plan covers it...😁

Ciao.

Only at the point of purchase can you upgrade RAM on Retina. Ram is soldered to the logic board in these models- not user friendly in that regard.
