I have a Lenovo P15 Gen1 laptop with easily accessible ram slots. I have never purchased parts for a PC or done any upgrades myself. I think I understand the process well enough, but I’m lost in all the RAM types and model numbers. How can I tell which sticks will fit and work with the P15, and where’s the best spot to order them in the US? Thanks for any help with such a basic question.

Cruicial has a downloadable scanning tool which you run and it tells you exactly what memory you need, you don’t have to look it up yourself. They’ll then offer to sell you the proper RAM which you can either do (Crucial is good quality) or just copy the specs they tell you and search on Amazon or wherever and you may find a better price. Since you’re not familiar with different brands I would suggest going with Crucial, their prices are generally reasonable.

Thanks so much. Just pulled the trigger on Crucial, now staring out the front door peephole til it’s delivered…
