RAM is upgradeable but not by the user. The computer must be completely disassembled to upgrade the RAM. If you want additional RAM, please locate an independent Apple Authorized Service Provider in your area and ask if they are willing to do the work.

To see how much work it entails, please click this install video: https://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/imac-21-inch-2017-memory/iMac18-1/

Good luck!
