Upgrade RAM e SSD PC desktop HP All-in-One 22-3001nl

[FranKKram]

Hello everyone
after almost 7 years of use my All-in-One 22-3001nl has become very slow, also because its configuration is

- Intel® Pentium® G3260T with Intel® HD Graphics (2.9 GHz, 3M Cache, 2 Cores)
- 4 GB DDR3L (1 x 4 GB)
- 500GB SATA (7200 rpm)

originally with Windows 8.1 64bit then upgraded to Windows 10 64bit.

I have read in the product specifications

https://support.hp.com/it-it/document/c04743344

that you can upgrade memory up to 16GB (unbuffered) with memories

PC3-12800 (DDR3-1600)
1GB, 2GB, 4GB and 8GB DDR3 SO-DIMMs

What do you advise me? Add another 4GB ram or just a new 8GB one?
HP Which memory does it recommend and with which part numbers?
Would it be worth the benefits or would it also be worth replacing the hard disk with an SSD?

I look forward to your suggestions
Thanks again
Frank

I apologize, but I realized after posting in the wrong section, if possible move it to:

Hi FranKKram, I am not affiliated with HP, but I am familiar with upgrading legacy computers.

[EDIT: I thought I had replied earlier but couldn't find my response: so here we go -giving it another go.]

Upgrading a legacy computer is part cost-benefit considerations, and part PC-hobbyism.  If it is the case that you enjoy fixing-upping a lot more than the former, you're bound ending up spending more -sometimes a lot more- on upgrading than it would cost you to purchase a new(er) Windows 11 capable lap/desktop.

-I know, because I have upgraded legacy PCs to Gaming-Grade levels just for the enjoyment of it, but by doing so I spend a lot more on these projects compared with buying ready-made gaming PCs.

Anyway, if you are serious about substantially upgrading your All-in-One, just add up how much it would cost you to get 2 x 8GB unbuffered non-EEC DDR3-12800 (1600 MHz) RAM sticks, plus a higher-performance CPU -say the Intel Core i3-4360T or i3-4370T, plus a 1TB Solid State Drive (SSD): yes indeed, it is going to add up fast.

Just my penny's worth opinion.

Good luck!

Thanks @NonSequitur777 for your information.

I understand that many times updating old PCs is not economically convenient, but I would like to try it anyway.

As far as ssd hard drives are concerned, there are no problems if they have all the features / price.

As for the ram I could not find the "Maintenance and Services" manual with the spare part numbers.

Can anyone get it back?

Thanks again
Frank
