Inspiron 15 3511, Crucial ram?
Hi
I'm hoping to upgrade the RAM on my laptop and the brand (Crucial) I wish to purchase from are listing my laptop as a Intel Core i7-1165G7 with their scanner.
My model is a Intel Core i5-1035G1 - 8gb Ram - 256 GB NVMe SSD -
They inform that my device can be upgraded to a max capacity 64gb (2x32gb).
I was hoping if anyone in the community can advise if that claim is legit.
Thanks In advance.

If you purchase directly from Crucial, you risk nothing as they guarantee compatibility when you use their memory configurator.

Notes;
16GB is the maximum Dell tested/validated.
2x8GB
1x16GB
Intel specifications may not apply to Dell OEM CPU restrictions.
Read through the Crucial returns policy if their memory does not work.

It's not just "contacting" them -- you need to purchase directly from them, unless you find another supplier that will guarantee compatibility (most won't -- the most means most of the drop-shippers (Amazon, Newegg, Microcenter, etc.).

Just to update, the Crucial RAM is accepted on my laptop.
The bios recognizes it and so does windows.
Crucial explained it was the motherboard chipset on the 3511 that was the more vital component rather than my processor model.
32gb in each slot, 64gb total.
