How to check how you can upgrade your laptop?

If you were wondering if you could install more RAM, SSD, another HDD, or maybe a graphics one on your laptop, and you don't know how to check it, you can look for help on one site.

You will first need the correct label for your laptop, such as the Toshiba Satellite C55-A-1H1. You can find this tag mostly under the laptop.
