Hi,

The machine is never going to be real fast because the CPU is not real good.

You could install a 2.5" SATA3 SSD and remove the 32GB eMMC board

You will need hard drive cable part number L23187-001

page 37 of service manual to install HDD

you can create a USB drive with OS and use to reinstall Windows

You could also upgrade the RAM to 8GB by replacing the 4 GB module. I would say it would give a boost in the everday usage of the machine. Especially having more space and the SSD.

 

Hope it helps,

David
