Subsequently, question is, do you need to reinstall Windows after replacing RAM? No, you don't need to reinstall your operating system. With Windows XP / Vista it is possible that you need to reactivate (my experience is that about 1 out of 10 XP/Vista needed reactivation after RAM upgrade), however this should go better with Windows 7.

People also ask, what will happen if RAM is removed?

Removing the RAM while the current is flowing will be very likely to create sparks and strong currents that will wreak havoc on your system. If you're lucky enough not to cause any physical damage, the system will likely hang.
