My office is considering replacing the computer in the boardroom. Our office is a small office with 4 people that share the boardroom for client meetings. We have a TV on the wall with https://www.cnet.com/products/lenovo-thinkcentre-m72e-4004-p-g2020t-2-5-ghz-monitor-none-series/ connected to it.
This computer is used for:
That is mainly it. Some of our suppliers have their own proprietary software we run but they are not resource intensive.
No graphics/video editing. At most they might stream a video from Youtube.
Right now our issue is that the boot up is VERY slow. Loading software is slow too.
Looking at the specs of that system link I have above, it shows that there is an SSD drive although I have not cracked the case to confirm. That said, we do have 4GB ram instead.
I'm looking at possibly upgrading the hardware, but after looking at the specs I'm thinking that it might be better just to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro and increase the ram to say 8GB.
Maybe the SSD drive could be slowing down, is that possible? Ours is 500GB and it is only 74GB used.
If upgrading I was thinking of something like this: https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIAFRV8UZ2270&Tpk=9SIAFRV8UZ2270&ignorebbr=1
Some input on this would be great.
