Simply open your Command Prompt (Hint: search cmd) When it opens, type: wmic memphysical get maxcapacity This will show you how much your motherboard and processor are designed to take. Don't go looking for computer's like yours for sale! That's a waste of time!

You can buy ram that is rated at a higher speed or CAS number so it runs cooler and more reliable. Also if there are two ram slots choose two similar makes of RAM; and use both ram slots.

You can use the Crucial site, just search your laptop model and add “upgrade” usually the crucial site will be first in the list and look around for your compatible parts, done.

how to check how many ram you can istall on your computer: 1)go to the windows terminal by clicking the button WINDOWS+R 2)write cmd 3) in the windows terminal write "vmic memphysical get maxcapacity" and you get the how many byte of ram you can install on your pc then convert that in gb with a convertor on internet or convert yourself

For me, I suggest going to the recommended website (Crucial.com) and let them scan your computer, then you'll be given the recommended ram for your laptop. you'll need to remember the specs (the numbers and letters on the model of ram).
