Currently 27" iMacs have been discontinued, however you can find a few models on Apple's refurbished page or you can find used one's on www.macsales.com which is a reputable reseller. DO NOT buy a used Mac from a source like E-Bay, Craigslist, Marketplace etc... You don't know what you are really buying,

If its a 2017 21.5" iMac it is possible, but requires complete disassembly of the iMac. Apple suggests procuring the services of an Authorized Service provider to have them upgrade the ram for you.

On 27" iMacs the RAM is user upgradeable through the removable panel on the back of the iMac.


 iMac (21.5-inch, 2017), iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, 2017), and iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, 2019). If the memory in one of these computers needs repair service, contact an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service ProviderIf you’d like to upgrade the memory in one of these models, an Apple Authorized Service Provider can help. Before you schedule an appointment, confirm that the specific Apple Authorized Service Provider offers memory upgrade services.
