Can I upgrade the RAM in the Dell XPS 15 9530 without voiding the warranty


Yes, you can upgrade the RAM in the Dell XPS 15 (9530) without voiding the warranty. According to user experiences, upgrading components like RAM and SSD does not affect warranty coverage, provided that you keep the original components handy in case you need to return the laptop for service. It's advisable to revert to the original parts before sending the device in for repairs to avoid any complications with warranty claims[1].

However, it's important to ensure that the RAM is not soldered onto the motherboard and to follow proper procedures during installation to prevent damage. While Dell does not officially support user maintenance, users have reported that they were able to upgrade without issues as long as unrelated problems were reported without mentioning the modified components[1].
