Maximum ammount of RAM supported for the Lenovo V130-15IKB
Hello!
I have a Lenovo V130-15IKB and was wondering exactly what the maximum ammount of RAM supported is?
Some websites tell me that 12GB is the maximum but other websites tell me that 20GB is the maximum supported.
These are all the websites:
Kingston website (20GB maximum):
https://www.kingstonmemoryshop.co.uk/laptop/lenovo/v130-series/lenovo-v130-15ikb-15-laptop
Crucial website 1 (12GB maximum):
https://uk.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/lenovo/lenovo-v130-15ikb
Crucial website 2 (20GB maximum):
https://uk.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/lenovo/lenovo-v310-15ikb
Lenovo website (12GB maximum):
https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/gb/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/lenovo-v-series-laptops/v130-15ikb/81hn/parts/display/compatible
Mr Memory website (12GB maximum):
https://www.mrmemory.co.uk/memory-ram-upgrades/lenovo/laptop/v130-15ikb
Memory Cow website (20GB maximum):
https://www.memorycow.co.uk/laptop/lenovo/v130-series/lenovo-v130-15ikb-15-laptop
The Lenovo website shows the compatible parts only up to 8GB which would only bring the computer up to 12GB with the soldered 4GB memory.
On the Kingston website I found the part that is supposedly compatible:
Kingston KCP424SD8/16 16GB DDR4 2400Mhz Non ECC Memory RAM SODIMM
I have also tried Crucial's system scanner which comes back saying 12GB is the maximum ammount supported.
I would just like to know for definite if 12GB is the maximum or if I can have 20GB. I wouldn't want to buy the 16GB stick (for 20GB) to possibly break the computer somehow...? Or for it to just not work.
I currently have 12GB RAM installed (8GB module by Crucial) which I purchaced off of Amazon about a month ago.
Thank you everyone! I've been researching for a while I just wouldn't want to risk breaking the computer somehow by putting too much RAM into it....?
Thank you again! :)
