Although going from an HDD to an SSD is a major improvement no matter what, I would recommend doing the memory upgrade first.
While you can run Windows 10 with 4GB RAM, it is never a pleasant experience with that little. Going to 8GB or more will improve the experience, even with an HDD, and if you do both the memory upgrade, then (or at the same time) the SSD upgrade the difference will be dramatic.
By the way, my preferred tool for giving system specifications to potential assistants is Piriform's Speccy utility. Here are instructions on how to use it to give those reading this topic your full system specs:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using Piriform’s Speccy to Collect Your Computer’s Hardware & Software Specifications & Report them on BleepingComputer
1. Go to the
Piriform Speccy Download Page and download the program.
2. Run the installer you’ve just downloaded.
Note:
The Speccy free installer may now come with Avast and the Google Chrome browser bundled with it (or something else, what’s bundled has changed over time). Make sure that you UNCHECK the options to install any bundled software when you see the checkboxes during the Speccy install sequence. When you reach the end, uncheck the
View Release Notes checkbox, then activate the
Run Speccy button.
You will be presented the Speccy Main Window:
3. From the File Menu, activate the “Publish Snapshot” item [or press ALT+F,B]:
4. You will now be presented with the Publish Snapshot Dialog:
You will, of course, activate the
Yes button.
5. Finally, you will be presented with the Snapshot URL Dialog:
on which you will activate the
Copy to Clipboard button so that you will have the snapshot web address to paste into your message.
Note: If you want to save your system specs to a text file, at step 3 choose the Save as Text File option at step 3. This can be handy if you need to e-mail your specs.
