hello ,,

thank you for your posting reply ..

The reason i am asking this upgrade ram issue .. is that ... my mac mini is running very very slow .. and could not open some appliaction software ..

at first .. this upgrade RAM come into my mind ... but after done some research .. the main culprit is the MOJAVE OS update is causing the slow issue .

will be sending back to services center to reinstall a clean Majove OS ...

Keep my finger cross ... hopefully it turn out good ...

Not matter what you do, running Mojave on a conventional rotational HDD will not be fast. Invest on SSD upgrade and your problem will be solved.
