Hardware Configuration Upgrade

[Pikachu2]

Good Morning HP Community,

I hope you're all right,

I'm sending you lots of positive vibes !

I would like to thank you very much for the attention and expertise that you will provide at my request.

Today, I am going to outline the request I wish to find a solution to.

I would like to improve the hardware configuration of my computer.
I am aware that it is not a very recent computer and that the means of improvement are limited or even very limited.

Having already installed 2 GB of RAM instead of 1 GB of RAM at its origin.
I also opted to put a Samsung SSD with a storage space of 1 TO.

As far as RAM memory is concerned, I tried the ReadyBoost feature because I got an error message: ReadyBoost is not enabled because this computer is so fast that ReadyBoost would not provide any added value.

I also cleaned any dust from inside the computer.

I have already consulted the product sheet of my computer... Unfortunately I don't know how much RAM memory my computer can support at its maximum.
I would like to know so that I can purchase.

The computer is equipped with a processor: Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N450 @ 1.66GHz, 1666 MHz, 1 core(s), 2 logic processor(s)I would like to modify it for a faster processor and to make it compatible with my motherboard.

I've already done some research about overclocking but my results show that this processor is not compatible.

Please let me know if I make a mistake, please let me know how to overclock.

I'm interested in an Intel Core i5, I'm not sure about its comparability. That's why I'm sharing my request with experts.

I would like to improve my computer to its maximum.

Please propose me the solutions that can be offered to me.

Thank you very much,

Wishing you a pleasant day,

Yours sincerely,
