Hello
I believed that this laptop had 4 GB soldered and 4 GB removable Ram
When I removed the back cober, I found it had 8 GB soldered RAM and zero removable Ram
I have now fitted an 8 GB Ram chip and according to task manager appears to be 16 GB, if I'm reading it correctly. So if I fit 16 GB Ram will I get 24GB Ram total.
I realise this is high, but not expensive so think would be a good idea.

Have ' hopefully' attached some images

Thank youIMG_20250613_175733.webpIMG_20250613_175708.webpIMG_20250613_175640.webpIMG_20250613_175632.webp

Crucial offers a 16GB DIMM upgrade. ASUS Vivobook 15 M513 (AMD Ryzen 5000 Series) | Memory RAM & SSD Upgrades | Crucial.com Takes the total to 20 or 24GB depending on how much RAM is soldered in. As you say, 24GB for you.

A suggestion: the snipping tool provides clearer images than photographing the screen.

Sorry I did the images quickly I usually use mono snap
I didn't know Asus had a 8GB sokdered ram laptop, looks great news. Do the images confirm I have 16GB Ram there is a 12GB on the screen, not sure why that is

Yhanks

I'm not sure what you refer to. The upper right corner of the Memory performance tab shows 16GB.

CPU-Z gives detailed information about ram on a system by viewing the SPD and Memory tabs.
