Hi Dell Support,
Thank you!
I purchased Vostro 5460, and I am thinking to upgrade the system because it is not able to support some of my work that required a lot of resources:
My questions are:
1. Can I upgrade current 4GB DDR3 RAM to 8GB or 16GB (1600MHz)?
The spec suggested it is supported 4GB is there any technical reason DELL is using 4GB for this system will there be any overheating or any issue that we need to aware before we decided to upgrade? PS: I googled and found few users successfully install 8GB RAM, what DELL think about this?
2.a. My current OS is Wins 8, I think it is quite hard to learn Wins 8 and thinking to switch to ubuntu.
If I install Ubuntu at my main C:\ will I able to recover back, I think DELL created recovery partition somewhere in the system, If I need to restore back Win 8, how to recover it back?
2.b. If the HDD damage and I change the HDD how to recover back the system without recovery DVD?
3. If I am choosing using Win 8 and decided to install msata SSD, and I want to make the msata SSD as main tier 1 storage while the 500GB HDD disk as data disk, how to install the base OS + few application running on mstat?
Thank you.
