adding RAM to computer

[scwh7]

I am getting ready to change the amount of RAM in my laptop, going from 512mb to 2Gb how can I do this and make sure I dont lose any files? When I remove the memory stick will I still be able to plug my pasport back in and retrieve all my data onto the new memory sticks? Can someone tell me how to do this?

                                                                      Thanks alot,

You do realize that RAM doesn't store ANY FILES, right?
