Install new memory
- Shut the computer down and disconnect the power cord.
- Turn the notebook over and place it on a firm surface.
- Remove the battery.
- Locate the memory module compartment cover, and then use a Phillips screwdriver to open it.
- Before touching the memory, ground yourself to discharge any static electricity.
In technical aspect, a 8GB RAM stick can be added to a computer 4GB RAM as long as both of 8GB and 4GB have the same speed front side bus speed. For better performance, the both of RAM sticks should have also same size not only same speed.
However, it's important to note that your computer's motherboard may limit the amount of RAM your computer can upgrade to, so keep that in mind before attempting to do so. While most new HP computers are designed to accept 16GB or more RAM, older models may not be able to accept as much.
Generally, the faster the RAM, the faster the processing speed. With faster RAM, you increase the speed at which memory transfers information to other components. Meaning, your fast processor now has an equally fast way of talking to the other components, making your computer much more efficient.

There is no way to add a graphics card on an AIO computer unless you use an external graphics solution like this, which for most people is not recommended as a viable option.

Cons of AIO ComputersThe simple and streamlined design of an AIO may seem beneficial, but it naturally makes the device less powerful. Most notably, all-in-one devices feature less powerful processors and graphics chips. They also create excessive heat due to having less room for airflow.
Because AIOs tend to use more powerful processors than laptops do, all-in-one PCs will execute CPU-intensive tasks more rapidly, on the whole. Some 3D games will run better, too, thanks to the discrete graphics chips in some A-grade AIO PCs. But these PCs aren't just good for play.
A slow computer is likely because you have too many programs running. This takes up a lot of processing power and impacts performance and speed. There are two ways to fix this: firstly, decreasing the number of programs running, and secondly, increasing your computers memory and processing power.
Mobility and size. If you'd like to remain unchained from your home office chair, a laptop easily beats out a desktop or AiO. If you're pressed for space, an AiO is likely going to make more sense (at least once you've decided against a laptop). The PC hardware and monitor are, in most cases, built into one piece.
Here are seven ways you can improve computer speed and its overall performance.
- Uninstall unnecessary software.
- Limit the programs at startup.
- Add more RAM to your PC.
- Check for spyware and viruses.
- Use Disk Cleanup and defragmentation.
- Consider a startup SSD.
- Take a look at your web browser.
