I have an old Sony VAIO S series laptop (Intel core i3/ 2GB RAM) and I need to upgrade the RAM as 2 GB is too little for windows 10. I have a couple of questions though:

1. I think i have only 1 RAM slot to work with the 2 GB is soldered.
2. Can I only add another 2 GB (matching the default 2 GB) or can I add in a 4 GB stick?
3. Can someone please help me choose an inexpensive RAM? I can install it myself.


Thank you.

Windows 10 will run on 2Gb of RAM but upgrading si preferable. It's also possible so look for screws holding hatches in place on the base of the laptop. I can't find any reference to soldered RAM on the Net.

Yeah, I find no reference regarding soldered RAM for that laptop. Also some online stores states it supports up to 8GB of RAM so that means it should have 2 RAM slots. You can always check it yourself since you have the laptop. Crucial is a good brand and 4GB DDR3 1.5v RAM sticks should be pretty inexpensive.

The link below is the manual for your specific laptop. Upgrading it starts on page 102.
