If the laptop has current 4gb ram, will there be no incompatibility issues if a 16gb ram is inserted in the slot?

[@adrianiii3125]

​​@@uFixTekthank you for the video! Does that mean we can only use 1 extra ram slot to upgrade, and the included built-in 4gb ram in the laptop cannot be replaced (cause it's soldered)? Also if the onboard 4gb ram is irreplaceable, since the laptop has current 4gb ram, will there be no incompatibility issues if a 16gb ram is inserted in the slot? Tysm!

Hello thanks for the awesome and timely video. I'm looking to upgrade my ram and this is the same exact laptop that i have but its the i3 one. When I ran wimc it says I can have only upto 12gb memory. I'm assuming the 4gb is from the integrated one the other 8gb would be from the ram slot. My question is would it work if i used the 16gb ones instead of 8 or am I locked into just using 8gb ram stick? Thanks man

[@uFixTek]

Thank you for your feedback! If you wish to support the channel, you can like, subscribe, or both! Regarding your question, if the CMD said that you can have max 12 GB that is very rare double check, if so then you can only place an 8GB stick , if you place a 16gb in there , the windows will show total: 20Gb (usable 12GB) therefor you will just have ram sitting there and not be able to use. Should you have any further questions or requests in the future, please don't hesitate to ask me. cheers🍻

If the RAM on board is DDR4-2133 MHz. Must I upgrade to the same MHz? For example mine is RAM 4GB DDR4-2133 MHz, want to upgrade to 8GB. Then I need to replace with RAM 8GB DDR4-2133 MHz too? Or the MHz doesn't matter?

[@paran01d11]

@@uFixTek Hey, thanks for getting back to me. The model you suggested isn't available in my country (I live in India). But I've been doing my own research and have come across models that might work, I'd like your thoughts on this. The Crucial site's testing tool showed me that this stick is compatible: CT16G4SFRA266. I came across a Kingston Fury Impact: KF426S15IB1/16, and I know this one is meant for gaming and I highly doubt my CPU supports XMP, but would it work and is it worth it to buy? Will either of the two sticks be fine to use?

[@uFixTek]

it will work fine any of them, your mobo doesn't have xmp but it will auto adjust the ram. go with CT16G4SFRA266 i would say.

[@paran01d11]

@@uFixTek Okay. I forgot to mention that I did go to the lenovo service center and they offered a Kingston DDR4 2400MHz but it's double the price of the Crucial stick I mentioned. Can I still go ahead with the Crucial stick? Couple more question as well, is there any huge difference between 2666MHz models vs the other MHz models? Also, everything is discounted right now, but the 2400MHz models still sit at way higher prices compared to the rest and didn't understand why. Is there a reason for the high prices?

[@uFixTek]

the high price is because of the sock and sells, and no there is absolutely no speed performance that you will notice my friend, go with crucial stick.

Hello! My laptop has 4gb 2400mhz of RAM soldered on, and I have a free slot available. Would it be possible to upgrade to an 8gb 3200mhz or is my laptop not compatible? Thanks in advance for your help

Thank you for your feedback! If you wish to support the channel, you can like, subscribe, or both! Regarding your question, you can upgrade to another 16gb ram and it will add with your 4Gb on board, if your 4gb on board is 2400, then if you even place a 3200 it will auto lower that to 2400 to balance it out. amzn.to/3NLGSVR Should you have any further questions or requests in the future, please don't hesitate to ask me.

I have this laptop with no sodered ram. I replaced a 4gb 2400mhz stick with a 16gb 3200mhz stick. System detects 16gb but the frequency is only 2400mzh. How do I change that so it's 3200mhz? This is the only ram installed in system so there is no other one to slow it down. (There is no ram speed change possibility in bios.)

[@uFixTek]

🫠Regarding your question, you can't change that, the ram speed is auto set by BIOS, your ram can go up to 3200 but the motherboard can handle 2400mhz. you don't have advanced BIOS to be able to enable XMP, that is only can be done on PC computers. cheers🍻
