First-timer with no knowledge whatsoever: How do I know what RAM to get for my computer? (sh.itjust.works)

I have a Lenovo P15 Gen1 laptop with easily accessible ram slots. I have never purchased parts for a PC or done any upgrades myself. I think I understand the process well enough, but I'm lost in all the RAM types and model numbers. How can I tell which sticks will fit and work with the P15, and where's the best spot to order them in the US? Thanks for any help with such a basic question.

No problems. As for sites to order, I'm not sure of American suppliers/computer stores, but when I do need to order parts for us clients of mine I typically use www.cdw.com however you might have a local store that could be faster and close to the same cost.

Not sure if you need login information to order one off parts or not though.
