hi there, I've got an msi MS-AA88 All-in One pro20E4BW with intel Celeron n3160 14nm 1.60 Ghz, which I'd like to make it run smoother upgrading the Ram. My ram specifications are:
ddr3/ddr3-L
1600 mhz
pc3 12800
CL 11
1.35V to 1.50V
The current ram on my Pc is 4GB, and the limit seems to be 8GB, the command prompt tells that i 've two ram's slots but when dismantled I 've found just one.
my questions are:
can i mount directly a 8 gb ram?
can i go over the motherboard memory limit?
or is it more convenient to mount a new intel motherboard for all-in One pc?
thanks for any replies.

The memory limit for your CPU is 8GB (DDR3-1600), but it can be achieved with 2 modules only (2 x 4GB).
With a single 8GB module it won't work (the limit is 4GB per memory channel).

are any ways to increase the MSI all in one performance? is it possible and affordable to mount a new motherboard which can be fitted in such a minimum space?

With the current motherboard, not much for you to do:

To improve the performances you need to:
1) get rid of that Celeron CPU, but that's a difficult task
2) add more memory (they mention 2 memory slots for certain models), but you have only one.
Try to contact a service center and see if they have a solution to replace the motherboard with something better.
