14s-dq3000sl ram upgrade

May I upgrade the ram of my 14s-dq3000sl ?

What type of ram may I install?

[Huffer]

Yes it has one RAM slot with the Celeron processor and came with a single 8 gb module installed. 16 gb is the max and you would use one DDR4-3200 SO-DIMM which will run at -2933 speed.  This is the Service Manual from an older version of the same model series but is accurate for you as far as procedure for upgrade:

Thank You very much.
My 14s-dq3000sl came with Intel N4500 and only 4GB of ram.
In Your manual I've read "max 8gb" for Celeron (only 1 slot).

So: is my chance only 8gb upgrade?

Or may I install 16GB as You wrote?

You can check it by running this query from the command line:

Accessing the Command Prompt

To begin, you’ll need to open the Command Prompt on your computer. Press the Windows key and R simultaneously to open the Run dialog box. Type “cmd” in the search box and press Enter. This will open the Command Prompt window, where you can enter the necessary command to check your computer’s maximum RAM capacity.

Using CMD to Check Maximum RAM Capacity

Once the Command Prompt window is open, type the command “wmic memphysical get maxcapacity” and press Enter. This command will query your computer’s memory subsystem and display the maximum capacity of RAM in kilobytes. To convert this value to gigabytes, simply divide the result by 1024. For example, if the maximum capacity displayed is 4096000 kilobytes, you can calculate that your computer can handle up to 4 gigabytes of RAM.

Well! 36GB max.

Now only one doubt: is it very difficult "opening" the chassis?

[Huffer]

The procedure is laid out in the Manual I linked in my first post. I have done it many times so kind of forget what its like for someone new to the task. Just go slowly and use a non-marring plastic pry tool like an old credit card.
