Hello,

 

First of all, my english is not really good. Sorry for that. I will try it. Smiley Happy

 

I have the following question to you, I have an HP 635 Notebook PC. I Would like to install Adobe After Effects Pro 14 .

Now I asked a random forum if it was possible with an updated RAM. I was told that it was very hard on this notebook. But after doing some research I found out that it should be replaced by a number of components.

Can someone give me more clarity about this?

 

These are the details:
Product name: HP 635 Notebook PC
product number: A1E53EA # ABH
Serial number: (removed content)

 

If this is possible, what components would I need to replace?

Sincerely, Marco

The problem will be with the processor and video card.

 

"Adobe has only “certified” a few video cards for use with the Ray Traced 3D Render Engine.  (See Note 1, About Adobe's Certified Video Cards).  If you don't have a certified card, there is no problem.  You can just edit a file (raytracer_supported_cards.txt) and add your video card to a list of certified video cards.  Once you do that, Adobe After Effects will use your NVidia video card's GPU with the ray-traced 3D rendering engine.  (Except, with the GTX-750, GTX-750 Ti and the GTX-900 series video cards.)"

You have the AMD E-450 processor and Radeon HD4250. These are part of the motherboard and not really replaceable. 

You are essentially trying to enter a Model-T Ford in the Indianapolis 500. Adobe After Effects Pro is a very demanding program used by graphics professionals using top of the line hardware. You are asking if you can run it on a laptop that has less power than a decent tablet these days. 

 

I don't know where you did this research about replacing components but you did not get any answers from anybody who knew what he/she was talking about which is not unusual on the Internet these days. 

 

Trying to run that software on that machine will be very frustrating at best. You need to get a new laptop.

I don't know where you live, so not familar with the market. Where I live (big city, US Midwest) you might get $125 for it on craigslist. It would sell for about that on eBay US.
