RAM Issue please see pic?
Okay, this is the inside of my laptop Lenovo S145-15IWL 81MV00FFUS, I keep finding conflicting crap on the internet about a soldered RAM, others saying there is a slot to add the ram. The ram stick you see in the pic, in the slot is the ONLY ram that I can find, and my system is showing 1 of 1 being used as far as memory slots. So I would assume this means there is no soldered RAM? Everyone says crucial is good, oh trust crucial. The guy is telling me the ram is soldered, first he said I could only add 8GB, then said I could add 16GB for 20GB total. Please for the love of pete I just wanna know the real story on what I can upgrade to.
https://www.cnet.com/products/lenovo-ideapad-s145-... this is what best buy says, one slot, no empty slot. 4GB from the factory. Upgradable to 12, but they all say different.
Update 2, using lenovo parts lookup I was able to identify the number on the ram stick in the sodimm slot in the picture to the same number part number on lenovo parts. It is infact a ram stick, with no soldered on ram. Motherboard ends in _0G, means there is no soldered ram on the board. So whoever is finding there is ram soldered on the board is wrong. There isn't. Or lenovo just misprinted something and didn't care to correct it.

For a start you have 4GB of RAM Non removable ie soldered.
The max RAM is 20GB so the SODIMM slot has a max of 16GB.
I can see the soldered RAM and there is a card in the SODIMM slot but cannot see what size it is. It looks blank to me. Remove it and see.
Run Belarc program to see what exactly you have.
I will monitor this question for any replies

your ram can be removed. there are 2 small metal tabs. one on each side that you have to pull away outward. once those are done the ram should pop up on the back. there should be another place to add a ram stick under the one that you see. go on youtube and look up how to add or change ram for the laptop that you have.
