The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 17 Laptop, model number 81WF004CUS, is not user upgradable. A certified technician must do all of the work, so as to not void the warranty. This configuration ships with Windows 10 S-Mode Operating System. Windows 10 S-Mode provides added security by only allowing APPs available ( and therefore certified by Microsoft) at the Microsoft Store. If you don't need the added security or you need to install APPs not available at the Microsoft Store, you can switch to standard Windows 10 Home 64-bit Operating System, at no additional cost. The User can switch out of S-Mode to Windows 10 Home version if they choose to. This configuration ships with 8GB (4GB OnBoard + 4GB DIMM) RAM installed. Your certified technician can replace the 4GB RAM stick within the one RAM memory slot with an 8GB stick of DDR4-2666MHz RAM for a system total RAM of 12GB DDR4-2666MHz RAM. There is a 2.5-Inch 5400RPM mechanical 1TB hard drive installed. Your certified technician can replace this hard drive with a compatible model. We recommend you consult with your certified technician about your upgrade options.
