Laptops Desktop RAM in laptop?

[Cloud-S]

Is it possible to use desktop's RAM in laptop?

I think, if yes then there will be something 'only certain types can', how do I check?

No.

Laptops need SO DIMM (Small Outline DIMM), which is a smaller version of the DIMM modules that are used in desktops.​

What differentiates the notebook RAM from desktop RAM is its form factor; that is, its physical size and its pin configuration. A full-size DIMM has 100, 168, 184, or 240 pins and is usually 4.5 to five inches in length. In contrast, a SO DIMM has 72, 100, 144, or 200 pins and is smaller — 2.5 to 3 inches.​

LOL. Yes, I have never seen the laptop RAM. Actually, I was just holding the RAM stick of my old desktop and was seeing if it could be any use.

Just sell your old desktop RAM. Get new laptop RAM after checking what is the max size of single RAM stick supported.
