Adding 4go memory to Aspire A115-32-C3AK Which specific ram model do I have to buy?

JohnB02

Hello,

Is it possible to add 4go memory to the acer aspire 1 : Aspire A115-32-C3AK ?

Is 8go the maximum memory for this laptop ?

Is there only one memory slot ?

Do I have to replace the 4go with a 8go memory or there is another slot to add 4go ?

Which specific ram model do I have to buy ?

Do I need a specific material to open it ?

Adding 4go memory, does it consume more battery ? I mean the computer has to manage more memory quantity so, for normal or intensive use, does it reduce the battery time remaining comparing to 4 go ?

Thank you

Hi,

Yes, you have two memory slots, you can add another 4GB with same specifications as the other original memory, avoid buying any modules with XMP profile, more details are in this thread:Aspire A115-32 am looking DDR4 8GB RAM sticks and was wondering if anyone knew where to find them? — Acer Community

It's not difficult to open, after removing the screws, use a guitar pick or an old credit card to separate, very similar to the method in the video:(2) Acer Aspire 1 A115-31 Complete Take Apart How to complete disassemble teardown - YouTube

Hi, thank you for the answers,

I am confused because the amazon product description shows 4GB memory and max 8GB memory so where can I find an exact description of this product ?

Is there any description link from the acer website ?

Also, I have read some user comments saying that the laptop can't run if it isn't connected to a wifi signal. Is it a specific requirement from windows 11 or from acer ? Is it required at the first computer startup or every startup ?

Is it possible to downgrade to win 10 ?

Last question : does it reduces the laptop perfs (speed, memory or battery) if I connect it to a 32" computer screen ?

Thanks
