Dear 1HACKERS, I’m looking to upgrade the ram & processor on my laptop. But I don’t know which type of compatibility my mainboard has so that Is my RAM compatible with my motherboard? Regarding the processor, I don’t know how much and of till which generation I can upgrade. If it is possible then please advise me on i5, i7 individually till which generation can I upgrade. Please find below my laptop specs which are saved by CPU-Z software. ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/c/3/c3e6bf2d69490e96ebbf0cf9e98c0f297b2f421c.png) ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/f/b/fb9872f640404c813d4e5edd3c93fbb58602309b.png) ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/7/b/7b005442b1d342de1518aeb720bec3bb850366d6.png) ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/c/e/ce6c6d07057543ef05f596341accf0c1ba40b410.png) And this is the link that i found on dell website [Dell Vostro 15–3558 Owner’s Manual | Dell India](https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-in/vostro-15-3558-laptop/vos-15-3558_om-v1/specifications?guid=guid-a1b41cca-0e0e-4bcd-8ead-2f0c6442b952&lang=en-us) Thanking you all in advance 😇 ---

I don’t think you can change your possessor or pre-installed ram as they are most likely to be soldered on the motherboard. ---

You have a i3 4th gen.. So NOPE you wont be able to find any Compatible Processors for your mother board … Yor Board itself is old.. **And UPGRADING that in a Laptop is not possible** The only thing you can upgrade is Storage and RAM .. But that also depends what the max capacity your OS supports.. But given Your specs, Upgrading RAM will hardly Do any good .. If you don’t have an SSD you can try doing that to improve your system for a while… But getting a new system is a more sensible Idea! ---

I’ve had Vostros in the past. To make the best of what you have I recommend going here and do the system scan. > **[Crucial System Scanner | Memory Upgrade Scanner | Crucial](https://www.crucial.com/store/systemscanner)** > > Use Crucial's SSD and RAM compatibility checker for your PC or system. Scan your system to find compatible upgrades.
