Hello, I bought this laptop 5 years ago and within 7 days, there was an issue with the screen. I gave it for servicing and it took a month to get it back!
Windows 7 was installed at that time, became slower within 3-4 months. I installed windows 10 and the situation got worsen. It became more slower, turning it on or off took around 10-30 mins. Moreover, there were network finding issues. I also noticed heating problems.
Though I had warranty, I lost my courage to give my laptop for servicing due to their huge delay. I stopped using it back then.
If I upgrade my laptop now, will it work properly?
I need to know, can I install M.2 NVME SSD and RAM? If so, what is the maximum limit that I can put into it? Which configuration should I look for while buying the SSD and RAM?
