I have an old Samsung notebook, it has been with me for more than 10 years. In recent years I had to change the OS from Windows 8.1 to Linux (KDE Neon), the change has been great and it is running better than ever. The thing is, no matter how much I make change the software, the hardware remains the same. I would like to make some improvements, but from what I have seen, I would only be able to change the SSD it has for a larger one and little more, since the RAM is part of the motherboard.

However, is it possible to expand it or change it for more RAM? I think I have seen that it was possible, buT more delicate and complicated, is it true? Would it be worth to look for someone who can make the upgrade?

    Yes, it is possible!

    I hope you have some solid soldering and hot air workstation skills, but assuming you do then yes its 100% possible.

    I do not recommend it.

      This.

      It definitely is possible, but if you have to ask, you probably don’t have the background to do it.

      If you want to do it anyways, great! You’ll be learning some new skills. I suggest taking it slow. Use a bunch of dummy boards to practice on. When you’re ready to try for real, try it on a machine you don’t care about first. Something cheap enough that you don’t care if you mess it up.
