Introduction
This guide will show you how to replace and upgrade the RAM on this computer.
You may need to replace or upgrade your RAM if your laptop frequently crashes or experiences performance issues.
Upgrading the RAM may help prevent the system from slowing down when you open more programs or use memory-intensive software like games or editing tools.
Before you begin, power off the laptop and disconnect it from the charging adapter and any peripherals.
Note: You don’t need to remove the battery to complete this repair, but be sure to disconnect the battery connector from the motherboard.
