Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Is there any Upgrades I can make like Processor, Graphics Card and HDD To SDD to my HP 14-cm0030AU

 

I just bought the Laptop on 17/02/2020 and its very slow I tried antivirus software Norton 360 no Viruses detected and windows 10 all updated.

It has 8GB ram, 1TB HDD and AMD A4-9125 with  RADEON R3, COMPUTE CORES 2C+2G     2.30 GHz

 

I think its the Processor AMD A4-9125 that is too old and also the Graphics card RADEON R3, COMPUTE CORES 2C+2G     2.30 GHz

Hi:

 

The only easy upgrade you can do would be to replace the 2.5" mechanical hard drive, with a 2.5" SSD.

 

The memory can't be upgraded, and there are no removable processors or graphics cards to upgrade.

 

For those upgrades, a motherboard replacement would be required if one exists for your model, that comes with a better processor and graphics.

 

You may as well sell or trade in your notebook for a better model, because it would cost a fortune to replace the motherboard.

 

I have a similar model...HP 255 G7 business-class notebook with the same processor, 8 GB of memory, but mine has a 256 M.2 SATA SSD that it came with.

 

The SSD is the only redeeming factor it has.   You can use the notebook with a SSD.  It's still slow but usable.

 

I can't imagine how slow yours must be with just a mechanical hard drive.
