I had a freak out because I realized that no one made tutorials on this specific build as it seems they changed the internals of the machine but I found specifically you as the only person with the same model. I will be adding an additional 1tb of storage in the extra slot and adding 16gb of ram for a total of 24. Thank you so much

Fantastic video. I have this model laptop and its a must to upgrade from single to dual channel memory, I went from the standed 8gb to 32gb (16gb each slot 4800mhz ddr5) and its a beast now. The improvment in all games is night and day seen as much as 60 fps gains in some games and no tearing or stuttering in newer games.

[@adamrutherford4083]

@@ThomasS.H Sorry about your pc brother, on the upside the laptop is fantastic no issues at all since I have updated the ram. When I was running the 1 8gb stick I had 3 blue screens thats when I was playing world of warcraft, with 2 tabs open and discord, the other was having 5 tabs open 2 of which was youtube guides. Since upgrading I have been playing Baldur's gate 3, on ultra settings at a steady 120 fps. also have 10+ tabs open. I have to say do yourself a favour and get the ram and get the screwdriver set he has in the info. way worth the money make the laptop super easy to get into. I upgraded mine in 10 mins it was that fast to do mate. I would also buy an anti static wrist band if you cant ground yourself fully. I got the Crucial DDR5 32gb (2x16) kit. honestly mate you will see instant improvments, On WOW I got 40 more fps. on COD I got 52 more fps, Fallout was maxed at 120 fps never dropped. on Starfield on all high settings never dipped below 60 fps.
