This guide will show you how to remove and replace the RAM module on your Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 1570. The RAM, or Random Access Memory, is responsible for the short term storage of data in your computer. Problems will the RAM will manifest in the use of your computer, rather than its startup like the storage component. If you experience glitches or frequent crashes, this may point to an issue in the RAM and you should consider a replacement. On the other hand, if your computer runs slowly or is constantly held up by compute-intensive programs, you may benefit from the speed boost that a RAM upgrade offers. Regardless of your need, the Lenovo Flex 5 1570 is equipped with a single DDR4 RAM slot, so plan accordingly by acquiring one new RAM stick, rather than two.

I've had a Lenovo Flex 5 for a number of years and it has been extremally reliable. I wasn't aware that upgrading anything on this unit was even possible. Thank you for this info, I'll be checking into this more.
Please suggest what DDR4 RAM I should buy to replace it. I have a 16 GB, I want to go 32 or 64.
"Patriot Viper Steel DDR4 32GB 2400MHz CL15 SODIMM Memory Module PVS432G240C5S" works on mine
Thank you for posting this and especially to the commentor that posted the memory upgrade info. This has been a great laptop and I look for to extending the life of it with this upgrade.
