don't have a screw driver at hand, but it's possible it could come with two 2 gb sticks?

I have 2 x 8 GB sticks in my T420. To get at one of the slots you have to remove the keyboard.

Nice disassembly video for the T410.
Your PC may have 1 x 4GB module or 2 x 2GB modules, depending on what Lenovo had laying around during the assembly. Belarc Advisor should report what configuration it has, no need to take it apart just for verification.

what kind of card can i put in the card slot? I'm guessing a sd card, but aren't there different kinds? how many gbs can i get?

Do you mean the 34-mm ExpressCard slot or 5-in-1 Media Card Reader slot?

They aren't sd cards slots?

Kinda off topic but a service on my os (svchost.exe) is consistently using CPU. Any programs out there to help remedy this, that isnt a waste of time?

 

[Coup27]

You're not being very clear. Your laptop has a 34mm express card slot on the right hand side near the front which you can plug many types of expansion card in. It also has a 5-in-1 media card reader on the front of the laptop on the right hand side for things like SD, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Duo etc..

This 32GB SSD you refer to, what is it? Is it actually a 32GB SD card inserted into the memory card slot or an actual SSD installed in the express card slot?

svchost.exe is a Windows service. It's not uncommon to have lots of them in task manager but if it's utilising 100% of your CPU it's likely problem with your Windows installation.

will clean installing to win 10 trial remedy this?

 

[Coup27]

A clean installation is never a bad thing and often solves many problems. I often clean install a machine than spend ages trying to fault find as the end result is much better.

What is Win 10 trial though?
