Hey! Thinking about boosting your RAM in that Acer Nitro 5 is a smart move. Based on what you've shared, upgrading from 8GB to 16 or 32GB could really improve performance, especially for demanding games and virtual machines. Since your system hasn’t been heavily used lately, the upgrade should make a noticeable difference without breaking anything. Just keep in mind the cost and ensure your motherboard supports the higher capacity.

You might consider it, but since it functions well right now, you probably don’t need it.

A single device often needs a lot of memory, so it's important to check the maximum RAM your laptop can handle. Many models are limited to around 16GB.

Sure thing! It functions well without the virtual machine. A 16GB RAM would be great for running Cities Skylines, especially since you need a 20GB page file due to its resource demands, and it also lets you install more mods.

Are you utilizing over 16GB of memory? Are you navigating through the filesystem? If neither applies, the answer is no. Increasing RAM won't help in this situation. If you confirmed either condition, you're looking for additional memory.

Crucial highlights a significant increase, noting that 64GB is a notable jump compared to the 20GB limit previously supported on their older Lenovo devices.

Usually, it consumes most of it when I begin playing Cities Skylines.

You addressed your query directly. Increase the memory capacity.
