LAPTOP DESCRIPTION

HI , i  am Nishant from India . I am using HP Pavilion 15- n003tx laptop which was bought back in 2014 . It currently has 4gp RAM pre-installed . Disk space is 1 TB  (500 GB used till now ) .

That is very, very, very normal. Above apps use all machine resource therefore machine will slow down. Its specs

It has

• Slow CPU,
• Tiny amount of RAM,
• Slow like snail 1 TB 5400 rpm SATA,

It RAM too small, machine has to swap in/out to slow HDD and HDD itself to spin to dead

Therefore

• You can't do anything for CPU
• Give more RAM to 16GB (max) using 2 piecs of:  https://www.crucial.com/memory/ddr3/ct102464bf160b/ct6929301
• Replace HDD to faster such as https://www.crucial.com/ssd/mx500/ct1000mx500ssd1/ct11500638                          

                  or similar from other vendors
