A:AnswerThe maximum RAM the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 Laptop, model number 81WE00NKUS can support is 12GB DDR4-2666MHz RAM. Whether this configuration is compatible with any specific software will depend on the requirements and compatibility of that software. The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 ships with Windows 10 S-Mode 64-bit Operating System. Windows 10 S-Mode provides added security by only allowing APPs available ( and therefore certified by Microsoft) at the Microsoft Store.

A:AnswerHi Galford, I highly recommend looking at laptops that are Intel EVO certified. With a minimum standard 9 hours battery life and will give you the same power and performance regardless if you are plugged in or running on battery. Plus the Iris Xe graphics that comes on all EVO certified laptops will definitely benefit you when you are editing those videos and photos.
Thank you for choosing Intel.

A:AnswerWe are sorry to hear you are having issues with your Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 Laptop, model number 81WE00NKUS, hopefully this issue has been successfully resolved by now. If not, this system is equipped with OneKey Recovery System. There is a very small pin hole on the right side of the device, right in between the headphone jack and the SD card slot on the device. You will need a pin to push this reset button. Plug the device in. Let the battery charge for about 15 minutes. Push the reset button. The system should boot to a choice screen where you can choose "Restore To Factory Default". Select this. It will delete everything from the hard drive except the original factory install of the operating system. You will need to reinstall all programs and files after the reset. If you don't have copies of the files, try to make one before you restore by selecting "Boot to desktop" and trying to back up your files. Once you have the computer reset, be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 10. There is no need to install Microsoft Office software. The software is already part of the operating system, you just need to activate the software with a purchased product key. If you have installed a copy of Microsoft Office, this is conflicting with the existing copy on the system and this will slow your system down. If you have installed a 3rd party anti-virus program, be sure that Windows Defender is turned off and that the trial version of McAfee Anti-Virus software is uninstalled. There can only be one anti-virus program on the system. You may need to restore your system to original factory default settings if any of the programming errors have occurred. You can do that by typing "restore" in the Cortana search window. Just click on the magnifying glass icon at the bottom left of your Windows 10 Desktop. Click on "Reset This PC" Then click on "Get Started" and follow the on screen directions to restore to factory defaults. If the problem persists, we recommend you contact Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686.
