The answer to this is very simple: open up your laptop and replace the RAM. 4GB is not very usable today, and your system supports a maximum of 8GB, so while you are replacing the RAM, it's a good idea to do a simple upgrade. Look at page 5 of [document|844|this manual.] It will tell you how to take out your current RAM and replace it. A good replacement/upgrade I have used for computers before is [link|https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-2x4GB-Laptop-Memory-CT2KIT51264BF160B/dp/B005LDLVAO|Crucial 2x4B DDR3 Laptop Memory|new_window=true]. I have used it before in multiple laptops, and highly recommend it.
Follow these instructions, and you should have 8GB of working RAM, maxing out your system for around $30!

EDIT: Do not throw away either of the old RAM cards, keep them as a backup in case you need them. Spare parts can come in handy later.
