Product: p6710f
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)

Model p6710f older desktop   

has 4 GB RAM and I would like to go to 16 GB     

not sure if 32 bit or 64 

running Windows 10

Can I upgrade to 16 GB RAM

Do I account for the 4 already installed or do I remove it

I bought this new and it still works fine but startup is agonizingly slow.

 

Thanks
