You can actually upgrade to 12GB with an additional 8GB module, I have done it. works fine.

You might not even need one, I'd look at you storage space available, I added a 4GB just for the heck of it.

Most welcome. You might consider getting the 64 GB version of this drive instead of the 16 GB. It will give you a lot more flexibility, and at $24.99 you'll be paying 39 cents/GB instead of 63 cents/GB for the 16 GB drive. Just a thought.

Yes you can. There are two memory slots and you can put 8GB in each, but you will discard of sell the original 4GB

WTF are you doing that you're using up the entire 5 GB of storage? That's like 4000 books worth. Shell out the $10 or so for an 8 GB SD card if that's not enough...

Yes, provided you have an sd card installed, after the OS load there is just over 2GB free on these models... just got 2 for XMAS for the kiddies

Depending on the variant of the item you have, USB 8GB, SD card 8gb or 16gb.

It has 7GB built in. I don't think you can add any more, but you don't need to.

Yes! But if I were you, I would buy the 4gb, and buy a 16 gb micro sd card... you will get more memory for less $.

The system has 16GB for apps and SD slot for additional 32 GD for SD storage

Any mid-size capacity SD will do, I don't recomend anything bigger than 8GB.

What type of backup? You should be able to run it as an emergency repair disc, as long as you make sure the USB 3.0 drivers are installed correctly when making the backup image. There are a lot of websites that can take you step by step through the process. Or, if you're talking about Win 8.1's ability to create a "Windows to go" bootable backup (only for Windows 8/8.1 professional/enterprise? You should be able to do that also. Only problem is that 16GB is going to be very tight. You're not going to able to install much else, in terms of applications and your pagefile is going to be nonexistent. Considering how much space you will have left over and how flash memory is limited in the number of writes it can take, it'll probably fail pretty quickly. I'd get at least a 64GB USB drive.

You can buy a memory 8GB (about 70$) or 16GB ($140) to install by your self.

Yes, you can put upto 16gb (8x2). Also you can upgrade the ssd, any msata ssd will work.

It'll take at least 8gb, but it's damn hard to find an answer anywhere. Micro SD.
