Samsung put these Notebook 7 Spin together in many different configurations. They apparently did not keep track of how each serial number was assembled so they always say "No Upgrades". Most are pretty simple. Most will take 16gb of DDR3 1600 204 pin ram. Most have a slot for a second ssd, which is how I went. Most have the same bios, so will recognize upgrades ok.

MemoryStock.com was the only vendor I could get reliable information from.

Shut the computer off. DON'T PUT IT TO SLEEP. Take the four black caps off the bottom to expose the screws. Needs a philips P00 or P01 screwdriver. After removing the screws you need to use a wide but thin flat screwdriver to start prying up the bottom cover at the hinge. Slowly work your way around. It is aluminum, so you won't break it. RAM is under a silver metal plate near the SSD. Usually has 4 screws, but could be 3. Take that cover off, tilt your RAM up, and pull them out. When I booted mine after the changes it was recalcitrant. I held the power button in for over 20 seconds and it booted up perfectly.
