Accessing the RAM of the laptop involves removing a screw in order to open an access hatch on the bottom of the laptop. Once opened, the RAM sticks can be unplugged from their slots once released from the metal prongs holding them in place.
Larger capacity RAM sticks can be purchased from most online computer hardware retailers, though you may need to find specific RAM sticks that are compatible with the laptops model. RAM sticks used in laptops are made smaller than typical RAM sticks in order to fit within the laptop's compact size.
