Hello
I have AN515-55 with 8GB RAM
Just received my 32GB RAM kit for upgrade.
Do I need to remove battery before I exchange the RAM?
If yes, Can I just drain battery power instead of removing?
If yes, I notice some Nitro model has ‘quick access’ RAM compartment.
Why is it OK to change RAM on that model without removing battery?
Thankyou for your time.

    You don't need to remove the battery but you do need to make sure the laptop is off, and it's worth doing a full shutdow using shift + poweroff rather than the 'fast shutdown' (pretty much hibernation)  windows normally does :)

    Yeah I’ve got fast startup disabled because I don’t think I need it in the days of m.2 ssd’s.
    Thanks for your help.
