Smellmet macrumors 6502 Original poster May 31, 2019 #1 Simple question - can you upgrade the RAM yourself on the latest 21.5 inch models?
M mikehalloran Suspended May 31, 2019 #3 Yes. if you’re handy, follow the iFixIt and OWC tutorials. If not, leave it alone or pay someone to do it.

Fishrrman macrumors Nehalem Jun 2, 2019 #5 OP: Do you have the ability and confidence to almost completely disassemble the iMac? If so, you can change out the RAM. If not, the answer to your simple question is... "no". Last edited: Jun 2, 2019

A aman88 macrumors regular Jun 2, 2019 #6 I believe doing this yourself voids the warranty... I would check into that... I got the 27 inch partially for that reason... hatch on back for easy ram install.
