Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓The memory (RAM) is a critical part of your computer, and if your workload becomes too demanding, it may be time to upgrade it. Thankfully, memory upgrades for this laptop are relatively simple.
You can check your current memory usage in Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc).
Some models of this laptop were configured with just 4GB of memory, and if you're updating to Windows 11, or have a heavier workload, such as having many tabs open at once, you'll need to upgrade your memory to ensure a smooth experience.
