How to Install Memory RAM
Step 1
You will need a small Phillips screwdriver and an antistatic wrist strap (optional but recommended).
Step 2
Make sure your laptop is turned off completely and disconnected from any power source.
Step 3
Find a flat, well-lit area. Use a non-static surface like a wooden table or anti-static mat.
Step 4
Unscrew the cover panel(s) that secure the RAM compartment. These panels are usually held in place with small screws. Set the screws aside safely.
Step 5
Most laptops have an accessible RAM compartment underneath. Refer to the user manual or manufacturer's website for the RAM slot location.
Step 6
Align the notch on the SODIMM RAM module with the notch on the slot, carefully ensuring proper orientation, and insert it at an angle of approximately 45 degrees.
Step 7
Once inserted, apply even pressure with your fingers to gently push the module down until the retaining clips snap back into place, securely locking the RAM in position.
Step 8
Ensure that the SODIMM module is seated properly in the slot. Then, reattach the cover panel(s) and secure them with the screws you removed earlier.
Step 9
Once the cover is fastened, plug in the power and turn on your laptop. The system should detect the new RAM, and you can verify by checking the RAM in the operating system or BIOS.
That's it! You have successfully installed SODIMM RAM into your laptop. Remember to take proper precautions, follow the manufacturer's instructions, and consult your laptop's documentation for any specific guidance related to your device.
System Requirements
What type of computer do I have?
A Laptop computer will require SO-DIMM RAM, which is short in length and has approximately 200 pins.
A Desktop computer will require UDIMM RAM, which is longer than a laptop RAM module (more than twice the size) and has approximately 240 pins.
What is the maximum amount of RAM my computer can take?
Method 1:1. Press Windows Key + R, type “cmd” in the search bar, and press Enter.
2. On the command prompt screen, type wmic memphysical get maxcapacity, and press Enter.
3. Some numbers will appear on the screen. These numbers represent the maximum supported RAM capacity in Kilobytes. Divide the numbers by 1024 two times:
33554432KB / 1024 = 32768MB
32768MB / 1024 = 32 GB
Hence, the maximum supported memory capacity is around 32 GB.
Method 2:Check the official documentation for your machine on the manufacturer's website.
How many RAM slots does my computer have?
Method 1:1. Press Windows Key + R, type “cmd” in the search bar, and press Enter.
2. On the command prompt screen, type wmic Memphysical get MemoryDevices, and press Enter.
3. A single digit number will appear on the screen underneath MemoryDevices. This number represents how many RAM slots your computer has. In our case, it says "4".
4. This means the maximum number of RAM modules that can be installed into the computer is 4.
5. It also means, that a maximum of 8GB per slot can be installed. This is because the total Maximum RAM number (32GB in our case) is always divided by the number of slots to determine the max capacity per slot.
Examples:
Machine = Max RAM 32GB; Slots=1; Max RAM Per Slot = 32GB
Machine = Max RAM 16GB; Slots=2; Max RAM Per Slot = 8GB
Machine = Max RAM 32GB; Slots=4; Max RAM Per Slot = 8GB
Machine = Max RAM 8GB; Slots=2; Max RAM Per Slot = 4GB
Check the official documentation for your machine on the manufacturer's website.
What generation of RAM do I need?
Method 1:Task Manager will tell you what generation type your machine can support.
Hold Ctrl + Shift + Esc at the same time, or right-click the Start button and click Task Manager, to bring up the Task Manager Menu.
There are five generations of UDIMM and SODIMM RAM (DDR, DDR2, DDR3, DDR4 and DDR5) and they are not interchangeable. So if your machine says DDR4, that means it can take DDR4 and nothing else.
Method 2:Check the official documentation for your machine on the manufacturer's website.
What is the maximum amount of RAM my computer can take?
Task Manager will also tell you what the speed of the RAM running in your machine is.
Method 1:Task Manager will tell you what generation type your machine can support.
Hold Ctrl + Shift + Esc at the same time, or right-click the Start button and click Task Manager, to bring up the Task Manager Menu.
Memory RAM speed is interchangeable. However, if your machine is rated at 1600MHz for example, and you install 2400MHz, the RAM will only run at 1600MHz.
Note: This method will only tell the max speed of the RAM currently running in your machine. Please see the manufacturer of your laptop or desktop for the exact maximum clock speed.
Is my computer 32-bit or 64-bit?
Method 1:1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box. Type "msinfo32" and press Enter.
2. The System Information window will open, displaying various details about your computer.
3. Look for the "System Type" field, which will indicate whether you have a 32-bit or 64-bit operating system. A 32-bit OS can only run a maximum of 3.5GB, regardless of the hardware.
Method 2:Check the official documentation for your machine on the manufacturer's website.
