Then can you just help me what would be the other way. Since to speed up the things I have upgraded with extra 8gb ram. Even though it lacks in time. So I thought of upgrading it to SSD may run smoother. I have reset many times my laptop making sure that it runs smoother.
please help overcoming this problem.
