I have Lenovo Legion 5 (15ACH6H) with single stick 8 Gb RAM and 512 Gb SSD and I want to upgrade both.
Can I just add any RAM stick with equivalent specs for it to work in dual channel?
I used "Crucial advisor tool" and it offered this: Crucial 8 Gb DDR4-3200 SODIMM
DDR4 PC4-25600 • CL=22 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR4-3200 • 1.2V • 1024Meg x 64

What I'm asking is, should I get 1 or 2 of those RAM sticks? And can it fit a full length M.2?
 
Hey there,

So, the good thing about laptops are, they are a bit more forgiving when it comes to mixing DIMMs. So if you get another stick with same timings etc, it should work just fine. Yes, the mem tool from crucial can certainly point you in the right direction for choosing a model.

It looks like that model with 8gb of ram, can take the m2 2280 size. The 3050ti model has the shorter m2 2242 size: Legion 5 Gen 6 (15" AMD) | Purposeful gaming laptop | Lenovo Ireland
