1. Upgrade Memory: Increasing the amount of RAM (Random Access Memory) in your system can help improve overall performance.
2. Upgrade Processor: Installing a faster processor can give a noticeable increase in performance, especially when running multiple applications at the same time.
3. SSD upgrade: Installing a Solid State Drive (SSD) can dramatically reduce the time taken to start up and shut down applications.
4. Graphics Card: If you’re into gaming or doing tasks that require a lot of visual processing, such as video or photo editing, upgrading your graphics card can lead to improved performance.
5. Overclocking: This involves tweaking your existing hardware to run faster than it was designed to. It’s an advanced technique, so should only be attempted by experienced users.
