Hey everyone,
I recently bought an HP laptop and want to use it for gaming, but I’ve noticed some performance drops when running certain games. Can anyone suggest tips to optimize my laptop’s performance? I'm specifically looking for advice on settings, software updates, and any hardware tweaks (like RAM or SSD upgrades) that would help enhance gaming experience.
Here are the laptop’s specs:
- HP Model: [Insert your model]
- Processor: [Insert processor]
- RAM: [Insert RAM]

Any advice or experience from other HP users would be much appreciated!
