If your laptop still has a spinning hard drive, replacing it with an SSD is usually the single best upgrade: startup and program loading become much faster. More RAM helps if you keep many programs or browser tabs open. Check what your laptop supports (drive type and RAM type and slots) before you buy, and back up your files first.
Key takeaways
- An SSD usually gives the biggest speed-up.
- More RAM helps with many programs and tabs.
- Check the drive type and RAM type your laptop supports.
- Back up first.
