Joyce,

It's not a difficult job at all.  Most, if not all, of the makers/sellers
of memory offer detailed and step-by-step instructions on just how to do
it.  Be sure to follow their warning about static electricity as these
devices can be ruined by any mishandling.

I'm an octogenarian, and not a computer whiz-bang,  and if I can do it,
and have several times, then anyone can.  After you've done this
successfully, you'll have gained a bit of self-confidence - we all can
use a dose of this.  Give it a shot and good luck and also have fun.
