Hello,
I would like to add some RAM to my daughter's PC, a Lenovo Ideapad 330 15 AST, which currently has 4GB and runs really slow whenever she tries to go online, for example.
Can we add an additional 4GB, or even more, and how should we proceed, please??
Thanks in advance for your responses!

Configuration: Android / Chrome 93.0.4577.62

Sure, thanks!
I see 8GB, does that mean the PC will have 12GB instead of 4??
And will it improve its overall speed, especially on the internet?
Thank you

It is clearly stated on the page that your PC's motherboard cannot handle more than 8 GB of RAM.
Will it improve its overall speed, especially on the internet?

Internet speed depends on multiple factors, such as the quality of the internet connection.

OK thanks
So I can still add 8GB, even if that makes it 12GB in total, the PC will handle 8?

Hello
NO, you need to add a 4 GB stick to make a total of 8 GB
and adding RAM does not speed up the PC
it allows you to run more programs at the same time
or to run large programs that require memory

It won't have any impact on the internet?
The RAM module linked contains 8GB, if it's the only one compatible with the PC, how do I add only 4GB... do I need to remove the module already installed in the PC??

Oh thank you, sorry for not being a computer engineer... I'm asking a simple question and I'm making sure to be clear and understandable, and I'm writing in French too. ????
But it took 2 answers to get a clear response, as it seems...????
Well, have a nice day anyway!
