Hello, I have a nitro 5 gaming laptop with an 8Gb DDR4 Memory. what I am wondering is can I upgrade the RAM by adding another 8gb stick or just add a 16Gb and how easy is it to replace? 
Thank you

    Hi which type of laptop? Such as AN-515-53 or PT-512-52? 

    As for the ram, download CPU-z and look under the SPD tab, does it have two slots in use or one? Most likley you will need to buy a 16Gig kit. As for how easy it depends on the model. Although most are really simple to do, just pop the back pannel and pop new ram in

    Thanks for sharing the number :) the max freq. it supports is 2666Mhz, anything above that may not work (Should do and clock down, but its always hit and miss)

    Hello Here's how to remove the back cover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCEedWT9wQ4 I also want to expand the memory. I would need an extra 8 GB of memory. If you need 16 GB I would be happy to buy your 8 GB memory if the memory type: Kingston 8GB 1Rx8 PC4-2666V-SA2-11 ACR26D4S9S8HJ-8
