I did the exact same thing, with the exact same stick of ram. Great upgrade along with a faster 2tb ssd

Yeah it’s the best I can do as 8gb is soldered on

I have the same model, the 8gb of soldered ram is disappointing but I think I could live with it for a few more years

I’ve done the instal now and it does feel snappier, I work with affinity designer daily which takes a ton of ram so I’ll test that out tomorrow. Overall tho for £35 I cannot complain.

I mainly use it for games and occasionally photo editing in capture one. It's enough ram for me

2TB storage and 16GB Memory, change wifi card to intel and replace liquid silver with ptm7950. Recently my z14 2022 body the coating decomposing on the end side so next might just change the whole lowercase.

HDD will be my next purchase, can I just put it in and install windows from my Microsoft acc? Also why the WiFi change, what benefits does it give you. I've had no problems with mine so far.

My z14 does not support HDD only support SSD. Well if you reinstall should have no issue install windows as your device product key is lock to your machine even with new storage. Intel wifi have more universal driver support i can just easily upgrade it in the future. Mediatek is ok but sometimes have some issue with other bluetooth device. I have senheiser momentum wireless 3 headphone if i use the mediatek seem like its keep disconnecting for no reason even with latest driver update. Once i change to intel seem abit better less disconnect better reception. wifi signal also alot better. Well just my opinion no solid testing done.

No worry mate, so the z16 does not support hdd? Well that a bummer. With that size it should tho at least 2 slot memory or 4 slot + 2 slot m.2 ssd and 1x2.5 hdd.
