GL63 8rc memory upgrade

[ShoByte]

The i5 8300h should be able to have dual channel. When I opened up the laptop there is only 2 memory banks showing. When I check task manager, it states there is 4. I'm guessing they are on the back but don't want to do all the work without knowing if there is 2 others are on the other side and which slot to put it in to make it dual channel.

 

With 2 sticks in the banks showing it's putting it as single channel.

 

Does anyone have a tear apart guide for this laptop?

If they don't have then you'd have to google and look around. 

I found nothing so far. One person that said tear down and didn't even take the motherboard out.

Windows task manager and cpu-z state 4 slots. I'll post it soon as I get to my laptop.

This is common in laptops, I guess the mobo can take up to 4 slots in design but only 2 slots are made to be available

Now it says dual channel. I did change the version of cpu id. Weird.
