How To Make My HP Desktop Go Faster?

It's a desktop, so it's likely easy to upgrade. You should purchase more ram, purchase anywhere from 2 to 6 extra GB (to get your RAM up to 4 - 8GB). RAM stands for Random Access Memory and is basically a memory pool that your computer can access at any time to process information - having more makes your computer go faster.

You should look into upgrading to an SSD (solid state drive). It sounds like you have an HDD (hard disk drive) which is made out of a mechanical spinning drive. The mechanical parts can get very slow over time, but an SSD is "solid", meaning it has no mechanical parts. It goes really fast.

Your CPU is VERY old.

You can always try using a program like CCleaner or Malwarebytes to clean out your registries and viruses (things that slow down your computer).

Honestly, I recommend getting a new computer. The price you would pay for, say, an SSD upgrade is equivalent to what you would pay for an average desktop computer these days.

Hello. My name is Sanjay Patel, and I currently hold an honorary Master's degree in the field of Computer Science. I am aware of, and have personal knowledge related to your question. There are computer maintenance businesses which are probably in your area, however they come at the cost of hiring a professional to enter your home. There may also be some local destinations where you can drop off your computer and wait to have a technician look at it. These options can often be costly, and pretty inconvenient. The answer to this question can probably be found doing a little extra research on Google.

Two gigs of ram is just bad. You should buy another two, and try to use less tabs.

Games rely heavily on a discrete gpu, which you have not included. You can boost fps greatly by installing one, but it has to be small-form compatible.
