A: It have to slots for the memory. I upgraded mine to 32 GB Memory. I think it goes max 128.

Q: Can you get steam on this and for example can you play call of duty warzone,fortnite,Minecraft and valorant?

A: You may be able to run lower spec games such as Minecraft, Fortnite and Valorant, but expect to play on very low settings and low fps. This laptop has no dedicated GPU, which means it is not ideal for intensive 3D tasks like gaming.
