I have an Acer Aspire V5-561 6869 laptop pc running windows 8.1 64bit. I want to upgrade the 4GB of RAM it comes with to 8GB of RAM. I don't know which memory stick to choose & Acer tech support is of no help. I know I need a 4GB PC3-12800 1.35V DDR3L stick but don't know exactly what to look for. Can anyone be specific & tell me exactly what 4GB memory stick I should purchase.

    Hello TONYC1,

     

    Are you sure of your laptop model? I guess that's an Aspire V5-561P-6869.

    In this case, the motherboard have only 2 memory slots (2x8GB max).

     

    You can use these tools to determinate the part number of memory:

    1- Crucial Advisor Tool

    2- Kingston Memory Search
