Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Just a question. I'm learning on the fly.  I want ssd for boot to make pc run a little faster.  It's not a gaming  computer so it's only going to do so  much.  Looked at gpu upgrades on userbenchmark but can't find anything "compatible".  Stupid mx250.

 

One more:  why HP Support notifications keep telling me I have Windows 10 update issues?

According to the HP specs, your model laptop has a 1TB hard drive -- and the slowest model on the laptop.  This alone would slow down a PC.

 

You can't really "speed up" a laptop using an SSD.  True, it will boot faster and programs will load faster -- but once booted and loaded, those all run from memory, so the programs don 't really run any faster using an SSD.

 

If you wanted faster boot and faster loading, then consider replacing the 1TB HDD with a 1TB SATA SSD.

You need internal storage for System to work properly.

For GPU, you can't change it because it is one component of its system board (soldered to system board).
