Introduction

If your MSI GE62 7RD laptop isn’t up to speed for web browsing and gaming, it might be worthwhile to add more RAM (Random Access Memory). Adding more RAM is an easy way to improve a computer’s performance, especially for certain tasks like multiple tab web browsing and gaming.

However, before you add more RAM to your laptop, it might be worthwhile to make sure the slow speeds are not due to a virus, fragmented hard drive, or excessive background programs.

Before beginning, make sure to power off your laptop completely and disconnect it from any wall outlet.

    • Caution: make sure the laptop is fully powered off (not sleep mode) and not connected to the AC charging adapter before beginning the repair.

    • Remove the fifteen 6.5 mm Phillips #0 screws from the bottom of the laptop using a Phillips #0 screwdriver.

    • Be sure to remove the two screws in the middle of the laptop, they're easy to miss! They might be under a factory seal label.
