To upgrade the memory it would be an additional $165.00 There is no extra charge for the Windows 8.1

I think you can do that. But the Windows 8.1 require a flash drive with 24 GB memory.

My guess is that it's the 4GB RAM that's slowing things down rather than the hard drive. And to upgrade to 8GB (the maximum it can take) means replacing the existing memory with a $50-$60 8GB stick, as there is only one memory slot inside (according to CNet review). It could probably also use (esp. when first purchased) a good cleaning out of extraneous memory-hogging apps that get auto-loaded at boot time.

once you have windows 8 you can upgrade to windows 8.1 for free in the windows store it is a 3GB download for 8.1 and haven't much of a difference just small tweaks that it hope this helped

Yes it is expandable to 32 GB of RAM, but make sure you get the exact same type and speed of memory that is already in it, which in mine is DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3-12800)

You can definitely upgrade it to 16GB.There are two pairs of ram card slots.one pair of slots is easy to get to and the other...Not so much, If you are confident in your computer dis-assembly and reassembly skillsthan you should be fine (But I believe it might void the warranty if you take your computer apart that much) Upgrading to 32GB which would be 4 X 8GB cards in the laptop.So to recap,It maxes at 32GB it's just hard to get to the last 2 slots.

My laptop came with both Windows 7 and Windows 8; the user chooses which OS to install at the first boot. I don't think the memory is configurable from the seller, but it's easily upgraded if you purchase separately.

Check the requirements for the OS you want, in this case Win 7. You will probably be Ok. The RAM in these machines are fairly easy to change out and upgrade.

Not sure how many memory slots it has, as I've never opened the computer. Frankly, unless I was an expert at tearing these things down and building them up, I would not upgrade the RAM; which I'm not sure is possible.

More important to me is maximum ram memory size and speed (32 g at 1833?) assuming new AMD mother board model is not a problem.

Yes you can use Windows 8.1, and you can also use the new Windows 10 when it is released. You do have to take into account your memory specs and processor specs as well. I would suggest having over 2GB of memory and a fairly decent processor for best experience.

There are 4 RAM slots, two under the keyboard, and two under the back panel so you should be able to go to 32GB. You need a laptop specific GPU, the desktop form-factor will not fit in a laptop. I just recently added the 500GB Samsung EVO to mine, in the second bay. Works like a champ.

Since it is a 64 bit system, you can upgrade the ram up to 32gigs but the most available in one RAM card is 8 gigs so 16 gigs is pretty much the max.

The motherboard maxes out at 8 GB. Laptop comes with 4GB in one slot open slot available. Would recommend 8 GB as Windows 8.1 uses over 2B with no apps running and is really sluggish when it gets short of memory. Access panel in bottom for memory upgrade.

I upgraded mine to 32GB of RAM and installed a 1TB SSD Drive. It literally rips !!!!! They can keep all the new W8 PC's.

If you get the NB with 4GB of Ram can you upgrade to 6 or 8 by using the remaining slot?
