Back again

Well, it's been a while .... too long ...  again....
But, I'm back.  I will be working on posting useful tech nuggets again. 

One of the questions I have gotten lately is can older laptops be upgraded?  My answer is ... yes, most of the time.  I have been doing two specific things recently to upgrade laptops.  

1. Upgrade RAM.  Most laptops can have more memory added to it.  From a tech cost, adding memory is very inexpensive (especially from a cost to benefit analysis). 

• The first thing is to find out how much memory your laptop has.  I frequently use crucial.com, it has a scanner that your can use to find out how much memory your laptop has and how much it can have.
• With that information, you can then browse that web for the best prices for the memory.
• Installing memory (on most laptops) is fairly easy, if you don't have a geek at your disposal, try searching the Internet for the service manual for your particular laptop.

I will post the second piece tomorrow.
