Slow Performance

[uspunith]

Hey Team,

The system I own is HP 15 bs0xx (intel i3 7th gen), its takes min 10 -15 mins to start and to operate without lag, also the system is very slow.

can you advice will this problem be solved if I upgrade to a SSD M.2 + HDD or should I replace HDD with SSD ?

Also should I increase the memory, currently it runs with 4 GB?

Thanks

Hi,

Most likely there is a problem with the Hard Drive.

Personally I would replace the Hard Drive with a 2.5" SATA3 SSD,

On page 53 of service manual you can see the steps to replace the drive

You can create a bootable USB Pen Drive before replacing the HDD or on different PC with Windows 10 on it to reinstall the OS

I would also add another 4GB of RAM in the empty slot for a total of 8GB

It will give a great boost to the everyday performance of the PC.

Hope it helps,

David
