We’re planning to have to acquire inside your computer to replace the RAM. Depending on the type of netbook you have, this is gonna be easy,
Office Professional 2010, or really hard. If you have an Asus, then you might be in luck: tt’s not likely to get easier than that. If you have an Acer, though, we’re gonna be at this for a while.
The Asus notebooks are easy due to the fact you can just flip them over, remove the two screws on the memory bay door, and you’ll see the RAM sitting right in front of you. You can probably handle that, right?
Now that you’ve found the RAM, you just remove it by pressing the clips at both sides. The RAM should stand up at a 45 degree angle. Remove it gently and line up your new RAM with the alignment notch. Push it in gently. Voila! You are really progressing here, n00b! Now, push the RAM back down and screw on the memory bay door.

Awesome job. OK, so maybe you do not have a netbook that’s really easy to work with. Maybe, you have the infinitely complicated Acer Aspire One. Quite frankly,
Office 2010 Professional, you are planning to have a hard time getting to that RAM.
You’ll have to remove the screws from the back (two of them are hidden under the rubber feet); take off the keyboard; remove even more screws; and then, ever-so-gently, reach inside to grab the RAM. Yes, it’s tough, but it’s not impossible. Unfortunately, I really don't have time to hold your hand, n00b, so check out this video for step-by-step instructions.
Double Check Your Work

Now that you have installed the RAM into your netbook, let’s make sure you did it right. First, put everything back together. Put the battery back in too, n00b, simply because you are likely to need power.
Turn on your netbook and press the F2 button while it boots.
This will take you to the BIOS. Scroll down to where you see the computer’s RAM. If it says the quantity that you just installed, then you did a good job! If it doesn’t say anything at all,
Office 2007 Enterprise, or if it shows some whacky number that does not make any sense, then you’ve totally messed this up.
No, no, it’s OK newbie. I blame myself. Really, I do. It couldn’t possibly be your fault.
Assuming that you did this properly, you can now enjoy faster speeds and increased memory. Come to think of it, you are hardly even a n00b anymore. You are nonetheless n00bish, but you’ve got some experience now. Maybe you are just n00b-lite. Either way, good job,
Office 2007!
