OK. I recently bought 2 x 8GiB memory sticks to upgrade my Lenovo ThinkPad
x230i.
I researched things heavily before I bought the RAM. I researched heavily
into what to do after the RAM was inserted (with a friend watching to make
sure I didn't do anything daft). The shopkeeper can do the upgrade for you.

However, one thing I made sure of was this: I made sure that after we
installed the RAM, the first thing I ran (from a VENTOY stick) was
memtest96+ v7 to make sure that the memory was working OK. My reasoning was
that I didn't want bad RAM to lead to random crashes and potential data
loss.

HTH,


Ian
