    If there is a traditional hard drive in it now, replace that with an SSD and you'll notice a massive improvement. 16GB of RAM is nice, but not necessary. Do the SSD first.

    Sure, the motherboard could die, but probably not. Even if it does, you wouldn't have wasted your money because you can just take the SSD out and use it as an external or pop it in a new computer.

    • You will see a decent improvement just with an SSD alonekgvs72
