You’ve received two 32GB RAM sticks for your HP Inspiron 14 7420 2-in-1. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. **Check compatibility** – Confirm the RAM model matches your laptop’s specifications.
2. **Prepare the system** – Shut down your laptop completely, disconnect any peripherals, and save any open files.
3. **Open the case** – Remove the side panel or screws as needed to access the RAM slots.
4. **Remove old RAM** – Gently lift out the existing sticks, ensuring not to damage the contacts.
5. **Install new RAM** – Align the notch of the new stick with the slot, press down firmly until the clips snap into place.
6. **Power on** – Restore power and wait for the system to boot.
7. **Update BIOS/UEFI** – If prompted, restart briefly to allow the chipset to recognize the new RAM.
8. **Check performance** – Open a resource-intensive app or game to verify the upgrade.

Software-wise: No changes needed before powering down; after installation, your system will automatically detect and install the new RAM. After upgrading, restart and monitor stability.

Let me know if you need further help!

Simply power down the laptop, lift it up, remove the existing RAM, and install the new one. That’s essentially it.
