When you change RAM cards from a lower amount to a higher amount will changing it remove anything stored in memory in my laptop and is RAM a place where any info is actually stored?

Computer RAM is used only during operation. It's called "volatile memory", meaning that every time the computer is turned off, everything that has been stored on RAM is deleted. Computer disk is a "non volatile" storage medium, meaning that programs and data will (hopefully) be available next time you turn on the computer. RAM is necessary for normal operation of the computer. Programs and data that are essential to the immediate operations of the computer are loaded into RAM as the computer starts and when you start applications. Insufficient RAM may cause the computer to run very slow, if at all. Since nothing is stored on RAM when the computer is turned off, increasing the amount of RAM should not negatively affect any data that is currently stored on your computer.
