Hi:

Yes, you can replace the 4 GB memory chip with an 8 GB memory chip.

Notebooks with the Intel Pentium N3530 processors have one memory slot.

Below is the link to the service manual.

Thanks for the reply.

Do you confirm there is only 1 slot? in that case the present RAM will have to be discarded.

You're very welcome.

If you look at chapter 1, page 2 of the service manual I posted, you will see this:

1 or 2 customer-accessible/upgradable memory module slots (depending on model)

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

The Intel Pentium N3530 is a Bay Trail processor.

Intel® Pentium® Processor N3530

That is correct.

In order to install 8 GB of memory in your notebook, you will need to remove the 4 GB memory chip.
