Well, zaiden36, that depends on when it was made. If you have a fairly recent model of MacBook, then no, you cannot upgrade the ram after you bought it, as it’s soldered in place right to the logic board. You could have upgraded as you were buying it... but, after,no. You can find out roughly when your MacBook was made by looking on the outer casing for a model number( should start with the letter “A”) . Remember that or write it down. Go to everymac.com and in the “search” window, type in your model number, and it’ll tell you all kinds of things about your MacBook, including if your RAM is upgradeable or not.

No MacBook Air since 2018 has any user upgradable components.
The last model where you could upgrade anything was 2015 and
that was only the drive.
RAM can not be upgraded on a MacBook Air.
MacBooks were discontinued 1½ years ago.
What about for an MacBook Air, to upgrade the RAM would I have to buy another one or can I keep the same one and still upgrade it?
You can upgrade the storage. Not sure if any service center is still doing upgrades these days.
