Hey, I am on the way of upgrading my laptop as it lags and freeze while photoshop and video editing, so I want to ask -

  1. Can I upgrade my laptop processor from i3 to i5?
  2. Should I upgrade from the 4 GB DDR3 RAM to additional 8 GB RAM Crucial  and adding 250 GB Samsung 860 EVO SSD?
  3. Does it even worth the upgrading?

If you will success in helping me out then I will be helpful to you

Hi:

 

The only way to upgrade the processor would be to replace the motherboard with one listed in your notebook's service manual that may come with a better processor.

 

That would be very expensive to do.

 

As far as upgrading the memory and hard drive, that will help some, but your major issue is the weak Intel onboard graphics adapter.

 

The Intel graphics adapter was not designed to run graphics intensive photo/video editing programs.
