Checking the Memory Capacity
Once you have changed the system memory capacity by replacing the installed module with a larger one, be sure to
check that your notebook has recognized the change.
To check the memory capacity, from the Modern Start screen press [W[X]. Select Control Panel from the
menu, then select Power Options. The amount of memory is displayed next to “Installed memory (RAM):”
There may be a variation between the actual memory size and what is displayed. This is possible if your system is
configured with an integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator which dynamically allocates system memory to
accelerate graphics performance.
