[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1699278"] Adding an SSD from a traditional spinning HD and upping the RAM should have made that machine **DRAMATICALLY FASTER** in nearly every sense. Something is definitely wrong if that didn't happen. I would strongly suggest you erase the machine completely (after saving anything you want preserved), do a clean install of the latest OS and then put your stuff back on it. Yes, it is a now 6-year-old machine, but short of hardcore gaming I can't think of anything that wouldn't be substantially faster with those improvements to it. [/QUOTE]
