Step-by-Step Upgrade Process
1. Power Off and Unplug
Ensure the laptop is completely powered off and unplugged from any power source. Remove the charger and all connected peripherals.

Use the Phillips-head screwdriver to unscrew the screws securing the bottom cover. Keep the screws in a safe place. Carefully pry open the cover using a plastic pry tool if necessary, taking care not to damage the clips.

6. Reassemble the Laptop
Replace the bottom cover and screw it back into place. Ensure all screws are tightened securely.
Final Checks and Testing
Reconnect the power adapter and turn on the laptop. Enter the BIOS or operating system to verify the new RAM is recognized. Run system diagnostics or task manager to confirm improved multitasking performance.
