Slooowwww system

[Sanchithmx]

I got an i3 10th gen 8 gb ram. One 4 gb soldered and the other 4 added, 1 tb hdd and Intel uhd graphics a gb of vram. And system is very very slow.

I use it for normal browsing, sometimes little coding. It takes a lot time for android studio to open . Eclipse works alright. Excel sucks at times. Orcad kills the system. Keil is alright too.

Pycharm takes long time too.

 

And I play small games as well like Borderlands.

 

Want help in knowing if upgrading ram to 20 sodimm as overall with adding a small SSD will help me or should I wait for sometime and try to buy a better system?

SSD is the first thing you should upgrade. HDDs are slow and have been slow for modern operating systems for years.

You don't need more RAM for normal office tasks. How big Excel sheets are you working with? Can you see RAM being fully used already?

My ram disk space and cpu utilisation remains 100% most of the time I understand Excel sheets cannot take full RAM but they are not functioning smooth. And I work with huge data at times
