Hi wanna ask all sifu here some advice. I have an old laptop (not that old) but i check spec is good just the RAM is 4GB. Wanna ask if possible I can upgrade to high RAM for faster process? As now the problem I facing is after awhile sometime its bit laggy (also i have a habit not shut down window, and open quite a few tabs in Explorer).
Apart from my habits, by changing the RAM shall help loosing up the memory and faster operation right?
Sorry been awhile apart from IT knowledge. Hope I get it right. Thanks
Based on your processor model, i assume that laptop is at least 4-5 years old. And during this time SSD drives are not common yet. Manufacturers skipped using SATA SSD for a few years and now M.2 NVME SSD is the new standard.Apart from my habits, by changing the RAM shall help loosing up the memory and faster operation right?

For your case of laggy overall performance, instead of upgrading ram, i would suggest upgrading the SSD. This has visible performance increase compared to upgrading ram. Hard disk is the one that slows down the overall performance.
My client's company upgraded their banger laptop that has Intel Celeron J processors to SSD, and you can immediately feel the laptop like it was just bought in 2021. Depending on capacity (120GB-2TB) and brand (Adata - Samsung), SATA SSD price can range from RM90 to RM1xxx. Excluding service charges.
