Upgrading ram in HP ENVY TouchSmart Ultrabook 4t-1100

So just upgraded the ram in my HP ENVY TouchSmart Ultrabook 4t-1100. Great job Crucial, 16 gigs of ram! 

Installing the ram wasn't difficult, but removing the bottom enclosure was not easy.  Use HP's maintenance guide for help.  The shroud was attached a little tight and comes off with a snapping noise. But no harm done, it just snaps back on after installing the ram.  I recommend working from the hinges and moving around the edge. Be careful around the USB ports as the plastic looks thin there.  After removing the bottom enclosure (shroud) you will see two ram slots that are easy to get to. Install and reboot!

Windows runs so much better now, and boots in about 6 seconds. Applications still load normally, but once they are loaded switching between them is seamless.


Enjoy 16G!
