    • Start by removing the marked screws:

    • Remove the four 6mm screws

    • Remove the two 8mm screws

    • Remove the four 9mm screws

    • These screws are different lengths, remember which order you removed them. Putting the wrong size screw in the wrong hole can cause damage.

    • It is recommended to wear an anti-static wrist strap for this procedure.

    • Before you begin, make sure the new RAM is compatible. The RAM should be SODIMM DDR4 memory. Only up to a 16 GB modules are supported (for a total of 20GB)

Hi! Thank you so much for this tutorial, I was curious if you know if this is compatible for every ASUS Vivobook 14 or if there may be versions which don't support ram upgrades? I was told to look on the bottom (before taking off the cover) for a labelled spot where the RAM goes, but I don't see it. Does that definitely mean it is not compatible to add more?

Hi, Thank you for your guide

how many slot for add memory?

Voravit Chamchoy -

There is one accessible memory slots on the laptop as shown in the guide.

Jonathan D Banwart -

I'm about to find out first hand, however, I have researched and I understand that once you safely remove the bottom cover for the laptop, there is a single slot available for a 260-pin DDR4 SODIMM ram card. My research indicates I can add 16GB of additional ram this way, for a total maximum of 20GB ram memory on this model.

Further, I also understand one can upgrade the SSD for more storage. That's my next upgrade on this laptop.

Jason D Meinhart -

You are correct! There is one DDR4 SODIMM slot, You may add up to one 16GB stick for 20GB total. Only speeds up to 2666Mhz are supported. The SSD is upgradable although you will need a drive cloner.

Can I get a link of the RAM
