don't force it. make sure the clamps on both sides snap. make sure you're not harnessing an electrostatic charge

Make sure the ram you buy is compatible with your motherboard. Most modern motherboards only take DDR4.

Ah yes, I did a lot research already and mine is DDR4 2400mhz. I've already got it picked out, just very nervous about trying to do this and fucking my pc up lol

If it's compatible, just pop it in.

Yes. That's right.

You just take out your current RAM chips and replace them with new ones. (Make sure they're compatible.)

Then you'll just get a motherboard prompt about the RAM change before the OS boots up, press any key, and that's it.

Yep.Make sure that
1)Your computer can support that much RAM in the first place
2)It has enough slots to do so even
3)The RAM is even compatible

I have an MSI bazooka motherboard. I believe it has four RAM slots and can support 64GB
