Programs take a long time to start with a normal hard disk
should I buy 4gb
laptop is only used for movies, surfing. Work and music are not played with
which ssd can you recommend to me
Please do not recommend a Samsung, they are very good but also more expensive
You can't save anything with an SSD. The problem is memory. Nowadays 8 GB are the bare minimum and even that is not enough depending on the laptop.
In addition, the memory of many laptops also has to be cut off for the graphics. Ergo, you don't even have 4 GB available for Windows.
Ok first, if you don't have an SSD but an HDD and your Windows is running on the HDD, it will be faster if you install an SSD. This is particularly noticeable in the boot process. The laptop does not have more power then, but only loads of things stored on the SSD become shorter.
A RAM upgrade could of course also be worthwhile, that is, so to speak, the short-term memory of the laptop and the more RAM you have, the faster it runs. Provided that the other components (CPU, GPU etc.) do not slow down.
In summary, yes the PC is faster by both simply in other areas. You still have to decide for yourself whether it's worth it.
Unfortunately, this is wrong. Windows needs a minimum of 2 GB RAM for booting. 4 GB are for office work and film watching is all you need for gaming or video editing. An SSD would be better because the programs would boot faster and Windows would also
Yes, of course, but this is about speed and with minimum requirements, Win 10 is lame.
I have such an old laptop here myself and the installation of an SSD has not brought any significant success. Ultimately, it's not just about fast booting. When working, the part should also act quickly and you can buckle the data, even with smaller requirements such as office and surfing.
An SSD speeds up the system considerably, but you have to install Windows on it.
Also 8GB RAM are helpful but not as effective as an SSD.
Almost no matter which SSD you take, but I would take at least 256Gab.
An SSD definitely brings you something if you have used an HDD so far.
I can only recommend Samsung. 500GB should be enough. They are not expensive, as you say, they cost 15 euro more than other manufacturers, but they have the longest guarantee and durability. So you will save a lot in the long term.
You don't need more RAM. You can, but you don't have to. 4GB RAM should be enough for your application purposes.
An ssd can become slower if you load it with files
It would be better to expand the ram to 8 GB is better than using an SSD. Expanding both (Ram and SSD) would also be an option.
4 GB RAM is not ideal for normal office and web applications, but it is quite sufficient. I think that an SSD brings a lot more advantages to the boot process and opening programs and makes the system more reactive than more ram. Both would of course be the best. But if you have to put the focus then I definitely advocate SSD. It is of course important to install Windows and frequently used programs on it.
I recommend that you leave data on your previous HDD, just install Windows and frequently used programs (or, depending on the size of the SSD, simply all programs) on the SSD.
My words
No, you recommended an Intenso, which I can only advise against, and you say that an SSD does not get that hot. This is total nonsense. Ne HDD gets slightly warm due to the friction. A SSD can easily reach 60-70 degrees when it is poorly cooled, as is usually the case in laptops.
Only when it is completely full, that means you can fill it without problems. But it can happen that the SSD slows down slightly at 100% load. So if you have a 500GB SSD just fill up to e.g. 490gb so that she still has air to breathe.
And what @Berndban wrote is a good tip I would do too.
Actually just wanted to agree with you and not start a discussion
besides, it doesn't matter which of the big SSD manufacturers you take, they all have a very good quality, I would take a Samsung SSD if the money doesn't matter
OK
4 GB RAM is not ideal for normal office and web applications, but it is quite sufficient
Not from personal experience.
It's not about web applications or office work. Rather, it is about the operating system Windoof itself. It simply takes up too much space and resources. What slows down a pc system. Remedy would be to switch to a Linux distribution that is free.
Example:
https://linuxmint.com/...wnload.php
Ergo to use an OS that does not take the PC / laptop itself, but also leaves resources open for other applications.
The mere fact that changing your device works faster and better shows that Linux needs significantly fewer resources than Ms Windoof. The expansion from 4 to 8 GB is about as expensive as upgrading an SSD (alone) and also quite easy to do like changing a hard drive on a laptop.
So I think that discussing it in general is rather nonsensical. There are enough sources on the web that also show that an expansion of the RAM brings speed advantages.
