Hi! I'm trying to fix a Lenovo Yoga 730-15, but even after restoring my data, reinstalling Windows is failing because the computer keeps crashing or showing a spinning wheel. When I swapped out the m.2 drive, the problem came back and now it just loops when trying to boot from Windows install media, not even crashing this time. It's pretty frustrating since RAM doesn't seem to be replaceable on this board and I'm completely stuck.

You might get a bad m.2 stick, but sometimes your computer is set up only for certain sticks. So you can't use them and need specific ones that match what's in your laptop.

I think that is correct too, so if we look at what people are doing, they usually take the original 8GB stick and upgrade it to a full 16GB.
