It's looking pretty straightforward to install more memory in and iMac.   Is it really that easy - for a non-teckie, that is!

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities

     

    It depends of the iMac. For example, the Late 2012 iMac is more difficult to install RAM because the slots aren't visible, but on an older iMac, it's so easy. Just follow the steps of that link to install memory, and look the maximum memory supported for your computer

    Yes, it's very easy. Your user manual has instructions in the section on Adding Memory. Go to OWC both for a source for RAM and tutorials on installation.
