Unfortunately you are unable to upgrade the RAM on the new Apple laptops. The only way to do this is to purchase a new one from Apple with 16gb Ram.
The new MacBooks do not come with interchangeable RAM. All the RAM is soldered on to the motherboard and isn’t user replaceable. I have seen videos of people unsoldering the RAM and soldering new upgraded RAM onto the board but it is very risky and may damage the motherboard.
Yes you can. You will need to hire someone if you don’t have the skills or equipment to complete the upgrade. https://youtu.be/jKLWdorkmKg
