Improve HP Pavilion dv8000

[Is82949]

Hello, I have a PC HP Pavilion dv8000, an AMD Turion processor ML-37 2.00 GHz, 1.00 GB of RAM, and Windows 7, I thought I could do that it was faster, it takes a long time to run and my question is if I can improve it, I read that it could be maximum 2 GB of RAM and other things, but I am confusing.

What RAM is compatible? How much RAM should it put? What processor could you put to improve the computer? Can Windows 10 or 11 be installed, or do I keep Windows 7? Are other O.S better for this computer?

Thank you very much for reading me.

Hi:

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook:

Maintenance and Service Guide

Chapter 1 has the list of supported processors and memory upgrade information.

You can't run W11 on the notebook because it does not meet Microsoft's minimum W11 hardware requirements and the W11 installation media wouldn't even let you try and install W11 on your notebook.

You would have to buy licenses to install W10, so upgrading the operating system is probably not worth the expense and W10 goes out of support in October of this year.

Leave your notebook on W7.

Running W10 with your notebook's maximum memory capacity of 2 x 1 GB would not perform well at all.
