My current laptop configuration is:
Model- Dell Inspiron 15 5558
Purchase Date: Febuary, 2016
Processor- Intel Core i5-5250 1.60 GHz
RAM- 4 GB
HDD- 1TB 5400 rpm
OS: Windows 10 Home 64-bit
GPU: NVIDIA 920M 2GB DDR3
As you can see its quite an outdated configuration. I use it mainly for office use where there is good to heavy usage of MS Excel, Word, Powerpoint (majority of excel), web surfing, occasional gaming. I want it to be lag free and work fast like whenever I open the laptop, it should boot fast or load programs faster. But this laptop has made my life worse, the boot time takes around 5 minutes to fully load the operating system & lots of time to open an app for first time use. Thats why I use Sleep function often but the negative to this it consumes battery life. It usually gives backup of 2 hrs upon full charge and its the same 2016 battery running.
So I want to know whether upgrading it to an SSD and 8 or 12 GB RAM would make life easier or should I go for a new laptop?
PS: I have already spent 18k for repairing the motherboard in the year 2018 for this laptop.
