Hi,

I have this laptop with 4 GB DDR4. I would like to expand the memory, but there is only one card slot. According to the description, 4 GB more can be expanded. HOW??? Should I buy an 8 GB card and do it instead of the old one?

Hi:

 

Yes, that is correct.  Notebooks with the A6 processors have one memory slot, so you would need to remove the 4 GB DDR4 memory chip and replace it with an 8 GB DDR4 memory chip.

 

See the service manual at the link below...chapter 1 has the memory upgrade info.
