Easily? Two necessary conditions; it works and doesn't leave your
machine unstable and it doesn't cost more that a new MB.

If your MB vendor has a free upgrade that works, OK. If it doesn't work
then it's time to get a new MB. If you have to buy the upgrade it'll
cost as much as a MB, but won't be as good.

Been there,
