I have an Imac 21 inch with 4G Ram made in 2010 that I would like to upgrade. What is the max Ram can it take?
Thank you.

You should be able to do

for a total of 16 gigs

I bumped my 4 year old Mac Book Pro up from 4 gb to 16 gb but need to increase the hard drive up from 500gb to 1 tb.

It's much easier working on a MBP than an iMac. I put a 500GB SSD in my MBP, but I wouldn't consider doing that with an iMac.

It's really not that difficult and can be done in less than 5 minutes; instructions are on the internet and can be done by anyone who can read, understand English and follow directions.

Every Imac I own has two memory slots, not 4.
Go to https://www.macsales.com/ to see what is allowed and what is available.

Now maybe the next time you are going to say something you check your facts first. Some people do know more about things then you.
Your apology is only accepted if you do not do it again
