my laptop is acer aspire 7(A715-71G-57A2) can i upgarde its ram from 8bg 2400mhz to 16gb3200mhz ) or its maximum clock speed is 2400mhz
the board is Charmeleon_KLS 
+ i have an issue lately the ram is always 50% full by antimalware sirvice excutable is there a safe and easy solution to fix it
and if i upgraded the ram should I update the bios?

@ZaJoe the RAM speed is limited at 2400MHz because of CPU limitation so if you put a 3200MHz stick, the laptop still works as normal but the speed will be 2400MHz. 
You don't really need to update the BIOS after RAM upgrade.

Max mainboard RAM bus speed is 2400MHz. So 3200MHz, 2933MHz and 2666MHz sodimm modules will all only operate at 2400MHz max speed allowed by mainboard.

Most users only need M  icro soft Defender and  Malicious Software Remove tool for anti malware. They m are updated regularly on Win10 and Win11. So it is OK to uninstall any non micro so ft anti-malware

Crucial should work well with Kingston
