Installing additional memory (optional)
Your computer comes with enough memory to run most popular applications. However, you may want to increase the computer’s memory if you use complex software or process large amounts of data.
With additional memory, the computer:
❖Can run more programs and open more documents at the same time
❖Will run your Windows® operating system and Windows® applications faster
Installing a memory module
If you are adding memory after you have started to use the computer, begin at step 1. If you have not yet used the computer, skip to step 3.
1If the computer is on, click Start, then click Turn Off Computer.
2In the Turn Off Computer dialog box, select Turn Off. The computer turns itself off.
3Remove any cables connected to the computer.
4Close the display panel and turn the computer upside down.
5Using a small Standard #1 Phillips screwdriver, remove the screw that secures the memory slot cover, then remove the cover.
