Not as difficult as I thought. I was surprised that there were no empty RAM locations. Usually on a Notebookk lliek this, there is one RAM location soldered to MB, and one empty slot for upgrade. I worked on an identical Yoga 3 pro that ran 16GB. But aht meant it was soldered at factory to one 16GB RAM setup.
