Hi, The link you provided about the Laptop states: "Memory Slot (Available) 0", indicating you would not be able to upgrade the memory.
I believe you can put in an M.2 NVMe and then install Linux to that NVMe, that way you can still boot Windows as well as Linux? I would be concerned about CPU performance. I have had challenges using a CPU that is less than the performance of an i5. Though I did set up a laptop like this for a person to use video conferencing through a Web Browser a few years ago using Debian XFCE, and that worked well. I guess this depends on what you want to use it for? Intel Pentium Silver N6000 https://versus.com/en/intel-pentium-silver-n6000 Someone's comment reguards the CPU: "I do not recommend for any task at all, this processor can barely run browsers alone or just a 4k video. If you versus any processer against this and it says the pentium silver n6000 wins, just know its a lie. Do not buy this garbage" https://www.newegg.com/asus-l510ka-nb21-15-6-intel-pentium-silver-n6000-4gb-intel-uhd-graphics-64-gb/p/N82E16834236521?Item=N82E16834236521][ASUS%2015.6%22%20Vivobook%20Go%20Laptop,%20FHD,%20Intel%20Pentium%20N6000%20Quad%20Core,%204GB%20RAM,64GB%20SSD,%20Windows%2011%20in%20S%20Mode,%20Star%20Black,%20L510KA-NB21 Specs Learn more about the ASUS L510KA-NB21 Inaccurate specs?
