Rework / have RAM installed?

Because my new laptop does not yet provide the performance that I expect, I would like to buy another 8GB (8GB are already on it) and have it installed. However, since I'm not at all familiar with it, I wanted to ask if it could somehow be installed with cheap service and which one I need at all.

As a type of memory, he spat out DDR4 and further slots for RAM should also be available.

Kanss just enter your model on YouTube and search for a RAM upgrade.

I doubt that more memory will solve your problem. What kind of performance did you hope for or what are the problems? 16 GB of RAM are useful for complex photo or video editing, for example, but otherwise you can usually get by with 8 GB RAM in most cases.

In any case, pretty much any computer store in your area that offers repairs and the like would be able to install more RAM. Of course, it would have made more sense to buy a device with enough power instead of screwing around on a new device.

I've already looked there, but there's nothing for my model.

If the task manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) does not show you that the main memory (RAM) is completely full, it does nothing. If your PC is loading programs all the time and starts very slowly, then an SSD must be installed. Your hard drive is simply too lame

What is the purpose behind it? As a rule, upgrading a laptop is simply not worth it.

What kind of laptop do you have and what do you expect from it?

Because Ram doesn't directly perform better.

I'll put it bluntly: I'm interested in a modpack for the computer game Minecraft, which is called After Humans. Everything runs smoothly from the graphics and the gaming experience, but unfortunately I'm repeatedly shown that my memory is heavily used, which then also leads to louder fans. I also do video editing with the same problem.

I thought so, but of course I also thought that the hardware, including the price-performance ratio, would stand up to games and other things. Tjoa.

But thank you in any case.

That would be the essential. There are actually no more problems. Maybe I should have specified it again.

Model: MSI GF75 Thin 8RC for 960 euro. Should be true.

A laptop is not made for such things. If you want to do something like that, a desktop would be better.

Oh dear, now I'm really scared. Does it make any sense to upgrade something?

I would not do it. You hardly notice the few GB of RAM if the CPU and GPU don't fit.

What speaks against a real PC?

Your laptop has 2 RAM slots. You should find out whether both or only one is occupied so that you know whether you need one or two modules. But it takes normal DDR4 So-Dimm, so it's very easy to get. It also seems easy to get to the slots. You just have to loosen a pair of screws on the floor and then you can insert the new latch or bars. This should also be a matter of no more than 15 minutes for a beginner.

Okay, I'll leave that.

Well, I have 3 laptops here at home, which should be enough for the next few years.

Then sell them and buy a real PC, especially if you want to make videos or gamble, they are far superior to a laptop.

That sounds relatively easy. But apart from that, is it really worth it for the minimal amount of what it gives after installation?

Then I would rather consider returning my current laptop… It was just a week ago with the purchase.

Really now? O.o Sry I didn't know that. What did you pay for? : x

Since RAM is very cheap at the moment and you describe a problem that actually requires more ram, it seems to me to be worthwhile for you.

It cost 960 euro. That's why I'm a little suspicious of the performance. As far as I know, powerful setups don't necessarily cost more.

Sounds great. Then I'm curious to see if it really works.

Then I would rather take a desktop. For 960 euro you can get good PCs.

I'm considering it.
