When intending to upgrade or replace RAM in a system, it is important to know the generation of RAM your system will accept. In this system, the RAM used is PC4, or DDR4. Using a different generation of RAM will make the laptop not function. When purchasing a new RAM module for this replacement, ensure that it is a DDR4 SODIMM RAM module, a larger DIMM module meant for a PC will ***not*** work. |
