Upgrade is an improvement of technical characteristics

Upgrade is an improvement in the technical characteristics of computers and laptops by replacing hardware elements with more powerful or new components. It can be a motherboard, a processor, a video card, RAM, etc. For example, if your computer is slower to work with new operating systems, then most likely, RAM requires an upgrade. This means that you must remove the memory card from the computer and put in its place a new one that has more capacity and frequency.

If everything is simple with a computer, then the situation with portable devices is different. For example, you can take an upgrade laptop Asus, although the brand has no special value. As you know, in laptops, all components are much smaller than in a computer. Therefore, the price will be appropriate. And getting inside the device will be more difficult than in the computer system unit. If you do not have the skills, then it's better to entrust this matter to a specialist.

When does it become necessary to make the RAM upgrade? These are the cases when a computer is equipped with a memory, the size of which is one gigabyte or less. This will already be lacking for the use of a modern operating system and programs. But you need to consider that if you have a 32-bit system, then the maximum that it will "see" from RAM is 3.75 gigabytes. To make it more accessible, install a 64-bit operating system on your computer.

If you do not have enough hard disk space, it means that its volume is insufficient for your needs. I did an Acer laptop upgrade, but I repeat, the manufacturer is unprincipled. Open the bottom cover of the laptop and pull out the old hard drive from the connectors, after which you insert a new, more voluminous disk into this place. Note that during this procedure, the laptop should be disconnected from the network, and its battery must be removed. Now, as a rule, Sata connectors are used , but in earlier models the IDE was used. This nuance must be taken into account, since the connectors do not fit together.

How do I know when a DVD rum needs an upgrade? It's simple. If you insert completely readable discs into it, and it rotates them for a long time, but can not read, then this will be a sign that it needs to be replaced. With this detail, as a rule, no complications arise, and it costs less than all components, so we will not go into detail on it.

For those who like to play powerful games, the question with the upgrade of the video card is always acute. After all, every year games require a resource more and more, so the old video cards with time cease to "pull" novelties of the game world. If you have an integrated graphics card, then after installing the external one, the built-in must be disabled in the settings so that they do not conflict with each other.

As for the processor and the motherboard, it is better to consult a specialist, because you need to pick them up so that they are compatible with each other. And in a laptop this procedure is more complicated than in a conventional computer.
