The random access memory (RAM) module is an essential component to a functioning and working laptop. The RAM is a component that stores short-term memory and is completely different from other memory modules or storage devices in a laptop, such as a SSD or a hard drive. Some boot-up procedures and programs may be stored on the RAM when a device is turned on.

If you find that your device is slower than usual or if it isn’t properly booting, it may be time to replace the RAM. Follow these instructions to replace the RAM in your Lenovo ThinkPad T450.
