Upgradable?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can upgrade the <strong>RAM<\/strong> and <strong>SSD<\/strong> on your Lenovo Legion 5 laptop, and the RAM is upgradable to 32 GB through the two DDIM slots at the back of the device. You can also upgrade the HDD by unscrewing the back cover and replacing the existing one with a better one. That&#8217;s all that you can upgrade on your device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_You_Upgrade_Lenovo_Legion_5_15ach6_RAM\"><\/span><strong>Can You Upgrade Lenovo Legion 5 15ach6 RAM?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can upgrade the RAM on your Lenovo Legion 5 15ach6 yourself or use a qualified technician&#8217;s services. If you want to do it manually, unscrew the laptop, remove one of the existing RAM modules and replace it with an equal DDR4 RAM module. You shouldn&#8217;t have any problem after replacing the RAM as long as it&#8217;s within the specified limit for your laptop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Lenovo_Legion_5_Storage_Upgradable\"><\/span><strong>Is Lenovo Legion 5 Storage Upgradable?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Jacking up your storage takes a similar process as upgrading your hard drive. <strong>You can upgrade it <\/strong>by unscrewing the back cover, locating the HDD section, and unscrewing the hard drive; before replacing them with the ones you have. Note that you can add an M.2 2242 or M.2 2280 in both slots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Lenovo_Legion_5_SSD_Upgradable\"><\/span><strong>Is Lenovo Legion 5 SSD Upgradable?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Both the SSD and HDD are upgradable on your Lenovo Legion 5. It\u2019s all about knowing how to upgrade them and the maximum amount your device can carry. The Lenovo Legion models can take around 1TB to 2TB of storage, but anything more than that can cause abnormality in the system. However, you can always use an external storage method to store excess files on your computer even after reaching the maximum upgradable limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_You_Upgrade_Storage_On_A_Lenovo_Legion_5\"><\/span><strong>Can You Upgrade Storage On A Lenovo Legion 5?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your device storage may get filled up at some point in its lifetime, necessitating an upgrade to keep it running flawlessly. You can upgrade the storage on your Lenovo Legion 5 by replacing it with a larger one. Alternatively, <strong>you can use cloud storage services to get more space on your Lenovo Legion 5.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_Upgrade_CPU_In_Legion_5\"><\/span><strong>Can I Upgrade CPU In Legion 5?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s impossible to upgrade the CPU on the Lenovo Legion 5 as it is impossible to do the same on most laptops today. Lenovo smoldered the CPU to the motherboard, making it practically impossible to upgrade it unless you can make laptops yourself. Consider getting a Lenovo device with a better CPU if you undertake tasks requiring abnormally strong processors because the Legion 5 models have strong processors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_We_Upgrade_Graphics_Card_In_Legion_5\"><\/span><strong>Can We Upgrade Graphics Card In Legion 5?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Upgrading the Lenovo Legion 5<a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/guides\/tech\/what-is-a-graphics-card\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> graphics card<\/a> is impossible, and you\u2019re either stuck with the built-in graphics card, or you can buy a Legion 5 model with a better one. It\u2019s impossible to upgrade the graphics card on most other Lenovo laptops, and it would help to pay attention to this aspect of your device spec before buying it.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/techfixify.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Graphics-Card.jpg\" alt=\"Graphics Card\" class=\"wp-image-3499\" width=\"446\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techfixify.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Graphics-Card.jpg 910w, https:\/\/techfixify.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Graphics-Card-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/techfixify.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Graphics-Card-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 446px) 100vw, 446px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_You_Upgrade_Graphics_Card_On_Lenovo_Laptop\"><\/span><strong>Can You Upgrade Graphics Card On Lenovo Laptop?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As hinted in the previous section, you can\u2019t upgrade the graphics card on other Lenovo laptop models. Updating graphics cards is generally a PC thing, and consider getting a Lenovo gaming PC if you want upgrade freedom. However, the Legion 5 should be enough to satisfy most of your gaming needs, even without upgrading the GPU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_You_Add_RAM_To_Lenovo_Legion\"><\/span><strong>Can You Add RAM To Lenovo Legion?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can upgrade the RAM on your Lenovo laptop to as much as 32GB.
