Hello,

I have a HP Pavilion Notebook Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-5010U CPU @2.10GHz  with installed RAM of 8.00 GB and it has become very slow.   I don't use it often but I have a need to use it now, so I would like to speed it up if possible by adding extra RAM or doing other things which you might be able to advise.

 

Would value advice on what I should do next please?

Thanks.

D
