Introduction: Hello, Simon here. Today, I’ll be showing you how to upgrade the RAM in a Dell Inspiron 5515. This step-by-step guide is perfect for those looking to enhance their laptop’s performance by increasing RAM capacity. Before starting, ensure you have the correct tools and replacement RAM. I’ve included links in the description for purchasing these items from Amazon or eBay.

Steps for RAM Upgrade:

1. Tools Needed:
   • Phillips screwdriver (1.5 size)
2. Removing the Back Cover:
   • Use the Phillips screwdriver to remove all screws from the laptop’s back. Note that the top left and right screws do not come off completely; just loosen them until you hear a click.
   • Once all screws are loosened, pry open the back cover. Start from where the top screws are partially loosened.
3. Locating the RAM Slots:
   • With the back cover off, you’ll find the RAM slots in the top right corner. The laptop will have two RAM slots, typically filled with 8 GB DDR4 RAM sticks.
4. Removing Existing RAM:
   • To remove a RAM stick, gently push the latches on either side of the stick outward. The RAM will pop up at a 45-degree angle.
   • Gently slide the RAM stick out of its slot.
5. Installing New RAM:
   • Align the new RAM stick with the slot, ensuring the notch on the RAM lines up correctly.
   • Insert the RAM at a 45-degree angle and then press down until the latches click and lock the RAM in place.
   • Repeat the process for the second RAM slot if you are installing two sticks.
6. Reassembly:
   • Once the new RAM is securely installed, place the back cover on the laptop.
   • Slide the cover in place and then press down to secure the clippers.
   • Tighten all screws, including the top left and right ones.

Conclusion: Your Dell Inspiron 5515 should now have increased RAM capacity. Turn on your laptop to ensure it recognizes the new RAM. There’s no need to adjust any settings; the system will automatically detect the upgrade.
