    Is this a solid state device?

    Experience has shown that having an SSD provides a significant performance boost.

    I'd look at that first - then there are varying views as to whether 8GB of RAM is enough.

    I'm an infant at comupter technicalities. Can you tell me how to find the details? I've found some details, but I'm not sure if its pertinent.

    This is a conventional hard drive with rotating heads.

    I expect that the best way to increase performance is to replace / augment this with a solid state disk with at least 512GB of space.

    I note that from what you say above you aren't particularly experience in these areas - do you have someone who can assist in working on this?

    @Philip, since you say are no computer wizz, I'd suggest you don't try to replace your internal HD, but buy an external SSD which connects through one of the USB ports. This should definitely improve performance. 

    Have joy in the Lord! Smile

    I have 8Gb RAM.

    Do you think I should get more Ram? How much?
