I have a Lenovo E535 laptop with A8-4500M and 4GB RAM. Im not a gamer but I do run Zwift (cycling trainer) on the laptop. It runs OK with basic graphics on but if possible I would like to improve the graphics. I'm not prepared to buy a new laptop / desktop but would consider upgrading the CPU and / or RAM if that will help as it seems I can buy those for around £100.
As far as I can tell, the best CPU I could upgrade to is the A10-5750M as it has the same socket type. According to some gpu comparison sites, the integrated graphics on the A10 are significantly better than that on the A8. A few questions:
1. How do I know if upgrading the CPU will work?
2. Will I need to update the BIOS?
3. Do I need to download drivers for the new CPU after installed?
4. Will increasing the RAM to 8GB have any effect?
