Hello all, I purchased two refurbished HP 3125 computers from a computer store. I had to buy each one a new operating system so I got each one Windows 8.1 and upgraded both to windows 10. I am trying to figure out how to make them respond faster.
They both came with 2GB of RAM and I have ordered 8GB that I will put into each one next week. I was wondering if anyone could give me any pointers on the possiblity of these two laptops being able to be upgraded any more than this? Their response time is not as fast as what I am used to with my desktop. I was advised to put more RAM into them, which is why I ordered more.
I read in another forum online that maybe I should upgrade the hard drive? These laptops come with a 320 GB 5400 rpm HDD. I am not sure if this is upgradeable and even how to begin looking at options. If anyone has any input on this subject, I would greatly appreciate it.
Lastly, I use my iPhone 7 as a hotspot for my internet. It does not pick up the network very easily though. I have to fidget with both my wifi setting on the laptop and my hotspot setting on my phone before it will find the network. It picks up my wifi in my home easily, is this just a problem with the iphone?
Thank you in advance to any that may be able to help me.
