Solved! Asus UX310UQ ram upgrade

[cristianlivella]

Hi, I would like to upgrade the RAM in my laptop Asus UX310UQ-FC380T.
It currently has 8 GB of ram, I checked in the specifications of the Asus site, and it says that this computer has 4 GB of onboard ram, and a so-dimm expansion socket, so I imagined that in my computer there are 4 GB of soldered RAM, and in the slot an additional 4 GB module.
On the other hand, checking with "dmidecode" on linux turns out to be only a 8 GB RAM module, so my doubts are:

1. the 8 GB module I see is soldered onto the motherboard, so the expansion socket is free and I can buy and insert an 8GB module
2. there is no ram soldered on the motherboard, the 8 GB module is in the only socket, and therefore to upgrade, I would have to remove that module from 8 and buy one from 16.

Do you have any ideas? Thanks

Update: I checked and there was the free slot, so I added a DDR4 8 GB RAM module (Crucial CT8G4SFS824A) and it works like a charm.
