Most Mini PCs and NUCs allow for easy upgrades or installation of memory (RAM) and storage:
Open the device by removing the bottom panel or access cover.
Insert the RAM modules into the designated slots, ensuring they click into place.
Install the storage drive (SSD or HDD) in its bay or M.2 slot.
Secure the panel back onto the unit.
Proper installation of RAM and storage ensures smooth operation and maximizes your device’s performance.
