My HP Chromebook is running really slow and it is driving me nuts. Is it possible that the memory is getting full? If it is can I add more memory? I know that I have Windows 10 but I am not sure which one. HELP!!!

Performance speed for routine stuff, not high-power gaming, is almost never affected by lack of system memory.
I have old 4GB Win10 computers that run every bit as fast as newer Win11 PC with 4 times a much system memory.
The most common cause for really S.L.O.W operation is a failing internal drive -- especially if the computer ran just fine when it was new and is only now slowing down.
Adding memory in this situation is only wasting your money -- as the computer is starting to fail.

The problem you're going to run into is that, after you have replaced the drive, you will have to reinstall the OS -- and I'm not aware of anywhere you can get an OS for the Chromebook to use for this. So basically, you need to consider replacing the laptop -- and if it were me, I would not get another Chromebook because they all suffer from the same limitations.
