@Corrie88, Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
Yes, your HP Pavilion 13-an1003nm is still a good computer to use.
Still Good For:
- Everyday tasks: Browsing, streaming, office work, video calls.
- Portability: Lightweight and compact, great for students or travel.
- Speed: SSD and 8GB RAM still provide decent performance.
Limitations:
- Gaming or heavy creative work: Not ideal due to integrated graphics.
- Future-proofing: The 10th Gen CPU is aging; newer software may demand more power.
- Battery life: May have degraded over time, check battery health via HP Support Assistant.
Tips to Keep It Running Well
- Upgrade to Windows 11 (if not already): Check compatibility and upgrade.
- Keep drivers and BIOS updated: Use HP Support Assistant. HP Support Assistant | HP® Support
- Clean up storage: Use built-in tools like Disk Cleanup or Storage Sense.
- Battery check: Run a battery health report via HP Support Assistant or BIOS diagnostics.
When to Consider an Upgrade
- If you need better performance for multitasking, creative software, or gaming.
- If battery life is poor and replacement isn’t cost-effective.
- If you want newer features like Thunderbolt, better webcams, or OLED displays.
