Boost speed?

[WmWolf]

This desktop is soooo slow. Is there a way to boost the speed on it? I know it’s “All in one” desktop and it might be a pain, but it’s brand new and I’d like to give it a speed boost. Thank you in advance.

@WmWolf , welcome to the Community.

Here are the Product Specifications for the computer.  If you look at the sections titled "Processor/Processor upgrade information" and "Memory/Memory upgrade information" you will see that the processor that came with the computer is soldered to the motherboard and can't be upgraded.  The maximum memory is 16 GB.  You could add another 8 GB of memory using the specifications that are listed.  Also, you could install a M.2, SSD, which would speed-up booting and moving between apps.  Here is a HP Knowledge Base article that will explain how to upgrade your HDD to a M.2, SSD.  I like Samsung SSD's.  They seem to work well with HP BIOS/UEFI.  There is no PCIe slot for a discrete video card.
