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.
