Will I lose data if I replace memory cards in laptop?

Answer 1

no you will not

Answer 2

No. Assuming by memory cards you are talking about the RAM chips. The data in these is lost every time you power off.

Why do you want to replace the RAM? If it's going bad, yes, you should replace it. However, if you just want more RAM and you have only one RAM card in the laptop, you may not need to replace it. Most laptops will support two RAM cards (even of different memory sizes). The key would be to get a new RAM card that runs at the same speed as the old RAM card and add it rather than replacing the old card.

One other note, on some laptops the base RAM card is not removable. If you do need to replace your RAM, either make sure it is removable or take it to a repair shop.

Answer 3

Well if you mean replace or add RAM (Random Access Memory), no you will not lose any data. If you mean replacing the Hard drive you would not be able to access that information unless you saved the information to disc and then saved them onto the new hard drive. You could also use a backup program like Norton Ghost to backup the hard drive and restore the whole drive onto the new hard drive. Using Ghost can be tricky and I would not recommend it for you. If you mean USB Jump Drives, SD, Compact Flash, or XD memory, you would not lose data on the cards or drive unless the card or drive became damaged.

Answer 4

Well, what do you mean by memory cards?.. If you mean RAM, then no, definitely not. But if you've got some sort of sort of memory card plugged into it, or are talking about replacing permanent flash storage on a laptop (there are laptops that use it) then yes.
