Would this be able to replace a 6gb memory without breaking the laptop? I'm planning on buying a simple laptop to play games on it for fun and I was meaning to replace the memory so the games can run much smoother.

it almost certainly will not, your computer would probably only use the 6gb of it, even if you put in the 16, i doubt it would damage the laptop, but it will most likely only use 6gb of the ram installed.

As long as the memory upgrade is compatible with your laptop and operating system. Certain Windows OS (usually 32bit operating systems) capped memory at 3GB but the latest OS's allow for more memory. In addition the hardware may have memory limitations as well. Refer to your hardware specifications for Maximum supported memory.

Yes, as long as this is the correct size, type and amount of RAM that the laptop you purchase supports. Be sure to check the stats on the laptop you purchase so you understand what kind of RAM it requires and supports.

This depends on the slot numbers that you have available in the computer.
