This is probably the easiest thing you can do yourself on your computer. The good thing is that no matter if its a laptop or desktop, the RAM is in a easy to access spot.

First, find out the maximum amount of RAM your computer can handle, and then purchase the RAM.

Depending on your computer model, the steps will vary but there are some video tutorials that show step by step how you do it.

Usually there is a panel on the underside of the laptop with a RAM Symbol (Looks like simplified RAM Image). Unscrew the screws and remove the panel, then you will see the RAM. use the two clips on either side to release the RAM and carefully remove it. Then simply insert your new RAM into the old RAM slots.

Yes you can upgrade and expand your ram on your laptop. The best way to start in this process is to clean all of the junk off of your computer that you do not want and that you are not using. Then you can run a virus scan, just to free up any other space that may be available.

RAM memory can be upgraded by purchasing more RAM and then installing it into your computer. While it is not difficult to do, it's best to let a professional handle this.
