[SOLVED] How to know what kind of RAM I Need?

[Walk3r_K]

Hi again,
I would like to put another 8gb stick of ram into my gaming laptop putting me to 16gb. How do I know if i need DDR4/What speed of RAM I need, etc?
I would prefer to be able to figure it out without opening my system until I need to so I don't mess anything up, but if I need to, I will.

Download the exe version of CPUz. https://www.cpuid.com/downloads/cpu-z/cpu-z_1.91-en.zip
Run the program and go to the Memory tab. It will tell you what type of RAM you have.

Be sure to run the 64Bit exe.

Alternatively, you can try Memory Scanning tools by Crucial or MemoryStock.
