Introduction

RAM is temporary computer storage that stores and reads data almost instantly. When opening a program, it becomes temporarily stored in your computer’s RAM. Opening multiple browser tabs or too many applications at once may slow your computer significantly. Adding more RAM to a computer allows for larger quantities of applications to run at the same time without a loss in performance.

Before using this guide, ensure your laptop’s battery has been removed so there is no chance of electric shock.

What you need

Step 1

              Battery
  • Turn off the computer. If you are unsure whether the computer is off or in Hibernation, turn the computer on, and then shut it down through the operating system.
