How do I make the laptop faster again?

My dad asked me to speed up his laptop again. I put the laptop back on, but it didn't work. The laptop (Windows 10) is very weak in terms of hardware (2GB RAM and 500GB HDD). Are there other successful options?

Yes, add an SSD.

These things have become so cheap and bring so much.

You can even revive old computers with it.

Pack in more RAM and an SSD instead of the HDD

I would add more ram if that works. At least 4GB.

I assume after the restart you haven't updated the drivers.
The drivers should definitely be updated!

You can make SSD if it is still too slow.

So now let's be honest everyone would like to have experts look away now throw that thing away we're in the 21st century a decent cell phone is enough!

But there are also people who prefer to work on a PC / laptop.

Among other things, perhaps because of the larger screen, which is far easier on the eyes.

And there are applications that are easier to do on the PC.

Fr

More RAM, but make sure that the right one is installed and what clearly brings speed is an SSD. They have become really affordable and bring a lot of speed even with old devices.

The laptop is older now, I don't know whether it's still worth it in terms of price

But it's about my dad's laptop, which can't really handle a cell phone.

OK, what does older mean? Do you know what kind of hardware is in there? So processor and memory? But if it only has 2GB of RAM, is it very old?
