Mac – upgrade the 2011 MacBook Pro with 16GB

macbookmemory

I have an "Early 2011" 15 inch Macbook Pro that came with 4GB of RAM and I upgraded to 8GB a week after buying.

I bought these RAM Modules:

I want to upgrade to 16GB, how do I know if this is supported?

(I'm running windows 8 with bootcamp, since I do a lot of work on Visual Studio)
