Unlike desktop PCs, laptops have limited upgrade options because most components are soldered to the motherboard.
However, two components can often be upgraded to boost performance without replacing the machine.
✅ 1. Random Access Memory (RAM)
Adding or replacing RAM allows your PC to:
better handle multitasking,
achieve smoother performance,
and increase system longevity.
💡 Two possible options:
Add RAM sticks if your PC has an available slot,
Replace existing RAM with higher capacity sticks.
➜ Example: upgrade from 8 GB to 16 GB.

✅ 2. Storage Drive
Replacing your mechanical hard drive (HDD) with a SSD allows you to:
speed up Windows startup,
reduce application load times,
and improve your PC’s overall responsiveness.

⚠️ What you generally cannot upgrade:
The processor (CPU)
The graphics card (GPU)
The motherboard, except for a full replacement (often not cost-effective)
These components are soldered to the motherboard, making replacement nearly impossible without extensive technical intervention.
