No worries.  🙂

 

The current Intel graphics solution is part of the Intel Pentium CPU. (SoC system on a chip)

 

Your notebook is an entry level(Pentium, not Intel Core i3 - i7 series) one without discrete graphics.

 

If you had a unit with higher specs, perhaps even switchable graphics, then upgrading would not be so much of an issue.

 

As it stands now, you can upgrade the memory, but not the graphics solution.

You can upgrade the installed memory to 16GB.

 

Only install memory modules in pairs, Do not add a single module unless you know for certain it is absolutely identical to the one already installed. The modules must be identical guaranteed compaible modules if you want the upgrade to work the first time. This will avoid taking the gamble of purchasing modules that match the published specifications required, but which haver not been tested on your notebook for compatibility.

 

If you purchased a UMA (onboard graphics only) model, then upgrading to a mini-pcie video adapter is unlikely to work.  That applies especially to notebooks with the Intel Bay Trail chipset.

 

Notebooks are not like DIY desktops, which can be easily upgraded because of their open architecture. Prebuilt desktop PCs are also difficult video card upgrad candidates because of the usual lack ofsecure boot and UEFI BIOS options.

Hi @Sharon_Paulson

 

Instead of posting seperate posts again and again without waiting for a reply, try editing the post which has no reply to add information your forgot to insert or make changes to the post. 

 

Be a bit more patient please. We are volunteers and actual significant others who depend on us.

 

 

I see the following in regard to your notebook:

1 slot: DDR3-1333MHz Dual Channel Support (DDR3L-1600 downgraded to DDR3-1333)(Bay Trail processors

 

That means you will have to purchase a single memory module that is guaranteed compaible with your notebook to upgrade to 8GB.  This is a single channel memory architecture notebook. 

 

Yuo can upgrade the BIOS to the latest version available.  Using a third party utility  to Unlock the BIOS will violate your warranty if it becomes a brick and you  send it in for warranty repair.
