Hi @kanyethegoat,

Upon researching your computer MODEL - AN515-42 comes with 2 RAM slots. Below are the snaps taken regarding your RAM slots and inserting RAM in to the 2 available slots.

Hi,
You have two slots for memory upgrade in your model.

but why does it say 1 out of 1 slots? i think it should display 1 out of 2, instead if 1 out of 1. any ideas? thanks!

Install CPU-z, run it and check the slots in SPD tab, use the dropdown arrow to select slots. You can also check with Crucial scanning utility.

In this case, I suggest you open the memory compartment to see how many slots are available in this model:

It could have come with one slot only, I have provided the information from service manual but with lot of motherboard variations it's hard to tell, only way to make sure is to open the back cover and inspecting.
