Hi, I have a pavilion laptop 15-cs0999ng and my daughter is now doing photography and is using Photoshop (online). Are there any upgrades that I can do to the laptop to help with the speed it runs as it is slow! Thanks in advance. Ps, they can’t be too expensive!! We have 1GB broadband so that’s not an issue.

@Romseydad,

 

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

 

Your HP Pavilion 15-cs0999ng came with a motherboard with a fixed processor/discrete graphics, so there is no easy let alone inexpensive processor/graphics upgrade option available for your laptop.

 

What you can do is to max out your RAM with 2x8GB DDR4, 2400 MHz PC4-19200, Non-ECC, SODIMM, 260-pin RAM sticks, and if you haven't done so already, make sure that your primary (boot) drive is an M.2 NVMe SSD for much better speed and I/O performance.

 

Kind Regards,
