There are no modules in sockets that can be upgraded. The amount if RAM is fixed at the moment of manufacture. Everything is soldered down with surface-mount and chip-carrier technology, and can not be changed.

The way to fix that is to convert your valuable working computer to CASH (by selling it) and use the CASH to buy a computer that better meets your needs.
