@Prasadmltr Welcome to HP Community!

 

I understand that the laptop is working very slow and you would like to upgrade the RAM and SSD.

 

Do not worry, I will try to help you.

 

I have a few steps to identify and resolve the issue: 

 

Common causes of slow system performance: 

  • Not enough free disk space or disk errors. 

  • Applications that require a lot of system resources. 

  • Too many tasks running at the same time. 

  • Nonessential graphic features. 

  • Not enough memory. 

  • Overheating due to intensive graphic applications or dust in vents. 

  • Running multiple instances of anti-virus software.

Turning off nonessential graphical features to improve system performance 

Graphical features and programs can use a lot of system resources. 

Turning off these features can improve system performance. 

This section explains how to adjust visual effects for best performance and how to disable Windows Aero.
