FAQ about Lenovo V310-14IKB RAM
How many RAM slots does the V310-14IKB have?
It has 2 slots total, but only 1 is accessible for upgrades. The other slot has soldered memory that can't be removed.
What's the maximum RAM I can install?
You can add up to 16GB in the upgradeable slot. Combined with the built-in memory, the laptop supports a maximum of 20GB total.
What type of RAM do I need?
You need DDR4 SODIMM modules - the smaller laptop-sized RAM sticks. Make sure it's DDR4, not the older DDR3.
What speed RAM should I get?
2133MHz (also labeled as PC4-17000) is the recommended speed. The system might accept faster RAM but it'll run at 2133MHz anyway.
Can I upgrade both RAM slots?
No, only one slot is upgradeable. The other has memory permanently attached to the motherboard, so you're stuck with whatever came pre-installed in that slot.
Will any DDR4 SODIMM work?
As long as it's DDR4 SODIMM at 2133MHz or higher, and 16GB or less, it should work fine. Just avoid desktop RAM (DIMM) - it's physically too big.
