Test the New Memory Configuration

Once you have successfully installed the new memory modules into your refurbished Lenovo laptop, it is essential to test the new memory configuration to ensure that everything is functioning correctly. Testing the memory configuration will help in verifying that the new RAM is detected by the system and that there are no compatibility issues.

To start testing the new memory configuration, power on your Lenovo laptop and access the BIOS settings. Within the BIOS, navigate to the system information or memory information section to confirm that the total RAM capacity is correctly reflecting the addition of the new memory modules. If the system recognises the upgraded RAM capacity, proceed to boot into the operating system to further evaluate the stability and performance with the increased memory configuration.

Check System Properties for Updated RAM Information

After installing the new memory module in your refurbished Lenovo laptop, it is important to check the system properties to confirm that the RAM has been successfully upgraded. To do this, simply right-click on the 'This PC' or 'My Computer' icon on your desktop and select 'Properties'. This will open a window displaying important information about your system, including the amount of installed RAM.

In the system properties window, look for the 'Installed memory (RAM)' field to see if the new memory module is being recognised by your laptop. The total amount of RAM displayed should match the combined capacity of the original and additional memory modules. If the updated RAM information is not reflecting correctly, double-check the installation of the new memory module and ensure it is securely seated in the slot.

Optimise the Memory Settings

When it comes to optimising the memory settings of your refurbished Lenovo laptop, there are a few key steps to keep in mind. One important aspect to consider is adjusting the virtual memory allocation to ensure that your laptop is making the most efficient use of its available resources. By allocating the right amount of virtual memory, you can help enhance the overall performance and speed of your device.

Another way to optimise the memory settings is to ensure that any unnecessary programs or applications are not running in the background, consuming valuable memory. By closing these unnecessary programs, you can free up more memory for the tasks you are currently working on, which can lead to improved speed and responsiveness. Additionally, regularly clearing temporary files and caches can also help to optimise memory usage and boost the overall performance of your Lenovo laptop.
