m15 R2, can I add memory?
Hi,
I currently have 16mb and I need to use a program that has 32mb recommended RAM. My graphics card is ok. Just need more memory. How can I upgrade from 16mb to 32mb?
Thanks!

Maximum memory 16 GB
so no this is not an option
Standard memory: 8GB or 16GB non-removable

Hi @rey3arch advocate increasing virtual RAM when an application requires more RAM to work as intended and exceeds the installed system RAM. On Windows 10, increasing virtual RAM on the (ultra fast M.2 NVMe) solid state drive is designed to remove and temporarily store less frequently used modified pages allocated in system RAM (random-access memory) to the OS (C:) drive's virtual RAM. Using this approach allows the operating system to prioritize faster physical memory for more frequent processes and applications, improving the overall performance and preventing the device from locking up in the event it runs out of system RAM.
How to change virtual RAM size on Windows 10.

Hi @rey3arch for example: Our 17 R5 system RAM is 32GB.
Our OS (C:) 1TB ultra fast M.2 NVMe SSD virtual RAM range is 32 to 64GB.
