1420115	2016-05-04 23:05:00	Hi guys. I bout me lappy last May and now have Windows 10 on it. Problem is I find it quite slow, to open up web pages, etc and was thinking to upgrade in. :badpc: I did a Crucial scan and results are below:- www.crucial.com Was thinking a min of a 250 Gb ssd but unsure on ram upgrade as it has 4 Gb's now. So was just after some info as to whats best to do? :thanks ian	ianhnz (4263)

W10 will run quite happy and quick on 4GB memory ona standard Hard Drive, its often background settings or programs slowing things down.	wainuitech (129)

What anti-virus do you use, do you use any add-ons in the browser, is your internet just slow.... An SSD is a great quality of life upgrade and I swear by them but if your issues are not drive related you may be disappointed. Personally I'd still do it because they are just better :) A few years back I had a 1 year licence for Kaspersky as part of a hardware purchase so I thought I'd try it as it had some great reviews. A month or so later of swearing at my browser going slow particularly when viewing google image search results and I finally put 2 and 2 together and removed Kaspersky - everything back to normal. Point is sometimes it's not what you think it is and it pays to step back and consider what else could be causing the problems.	dugimodo (138)
