90% of laptops have a cover/flap on the bottom exposing the 2nd (usually empty) ram slot.

just one screw.

Usually it's as simple as unscrewing one screw, opening the cover, putting the connector edge of the ram in at a 45degree angle and then pushing it down. Then put the cover back on and screw it on.
