Can you add more RAM to a Surface RT?
In this post we will show if you can upgrade memory on your 2012 Surface RT and what are the configurations that available for your device.
Surface RT RAM Upgrade
System Memory or Random Access Memory (RAM) is a temporary memory used by the central processing unit (CPU) to store information that the operating system (OS) and software applications actively use for faster reading and writing. When a system doesn't have enough RAM or memory, it will use a slower SSD or traditional hard disk drive that makes the system run slower. So the more RAM your Surface RT has, the more tasks it can handle simultaneously, resulting in more responsive and faster performance.
Unfortunately, the memory on Surface RT is soldered to the motherboard, and there is no additional RAM slot for expansion. Since you can't change or add more RAM after you buy, you want to make sure you pick the configuration with the right amount of memory at the initial purchase. Microsoft claims that the Surface RT supports 2GB of DDR3 memory. Here are the memory configurations on Surface RT.
