    Determine the current motherboard, processor, memory configuration and maximum supported specifications. Note the details of the installed and new memory including type, capacity and speed to ensure compatibility. A common upgrade of increasing RAM from 4GB to 8GB typically costs $20-$55 depending on if the existing memory needs replacement or can be supplemented.

    Answer1

    1 Determine your motherboard and processor:

     Check the documentation: Locate the manual or any documentation that came with your
    computer or motherboard. It should mention the brand and model of the motherboard and
    provide information about the processor socket.
     Check the BIOS/UEFI setup: Restart your computer and enter the BIOS/UEFI setup by
    pressing a specific key during the startup process (usually displayed on the screen). Once in
    the setup utility, navigate to the system information section. Here you should find details
    about your motherboard model and sometimes the installed processor.
     Use system information utilities: On a Windows computer, you can use built-in utilities like
    System Information or third-party tools like Speccy (available at
    ccleaner.com/speccy/download/standard) to gather information about your motherboard
    model, processor, and socket.

    2 Identify the currently installed processor:

     System Information: On a Windows computer, you can open the System Information utility
    by typing "System Information" in the Start menu search bar and selecting the corresponding
    result. In the System Summary section, you should see details about the currently installed
    processor, including the brand, model, and speed.
     Task Manager: Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open the Task Manager, then click on the
    "Performance" tab. Here you should see information about your processor, including its
    name and speed.

    Once you have gathered the information about your motherboard and currently installed processor,
    you can proceed with researching which processors your motherboard supports.
    Answer 2

    1 Determine the current and potential memory configuration:

     Use system information utilities: On a Windows computer, you can use the built-in System
    Information utility or third-party tools like CPU-Z to find information about the currently
    installed memory. It will provide details such as the memory type, capacity, and speed. Note
    down the current memory capacity.
     Refer to the motherboard documentation: Locate the manual or documentation that came
    with your computer or motherboard. It should mention the maximum supported memory
    capacity. Make a note of this value.

    2 Describe the details of the currently installed memory and the new memory:

     Currently installed memory: Note down the memory type (e.g., DDR3, DDR4), capacity (e.g.,
    4GB, 8GB), and speed (e.g., 2400MHz, 3200MHz) of the modules currently installed in your
    computer.
     New memory for the upgrade: Determine the desired memory capacity you want to achieve
    after the upgrade. Research compatible memory modules with matching specifications,
    including the type, capacity, and speed. Ensure that the new modules are compatible with
    your motherboard and processor.

    3 Moving from 4GB to 8GB RAM the most common upgrade usually costs $20 to $55, depending
    on whether you need to swap out a memory card or just add a few more gigs.
