You should be able to put 16GB in it. Apple doesn't say so, but I ran that much with 0 issues for years in machines from that time.

Are you sure it was a 2010 model and not a 2011 one?

I may have had a 2011 model.

A quick peek at https://everymac.com/systems/by_year/macs-released-in-2010.h... suggests that the Core 2 Duo systems (13" MBP) could handle 16gb, but the i5/i7 models (15"/17") couldn't. This Stack Exchange answer confirms: https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/105036
