No you don’t have to reinstall windows to upgrade RAM and no that’s not the motherboard. If you take the side panel off the tower, you should be able to take a picture of your boards model number. If you can at least take a picture of 1 stick of RAM you have currently installed, I can work with that. I need the model information off it, so you will have to take it out and then put it back after pic.

Thanks!

so this info shows you have 4 slots, if so you would just need another 16GB set. With RAM, you really want to keep the same RAM you already have installed. So I would still like a pic of 1 stick you already have and maybe even a pic of the board where your RAM sits to confirm there are 4 slots.

also i do have 4 slots dad said, and i can spend 100.00 maybe little more, would rather less lol

So the first pic is your RAM but I still need to know its model number. There are a bunch of different DDR4 RAMs made by that manufacturer. So a pic of the side I can’t see should have the model number on it.

Do you know how to safely remove RAM?

i can get my dad to do it one second

Perfect! Just give me a few.

should i use 2 or 4 i like having bunch stuff open on my pc lol
