Welcome to Toms Hardware @rzali!
Is it slow in a way that It simply takes very long to load things, and does the computer experience freezing etc? Well then the issue is most definitely the HDD, I would swap it out for an SSD, it is a lot quicker as it doesn't contain moving parts and you can pick one up for very cheap for under $100. You can experience dramatically faster loading times and read/write speeds. If you have a budget I can pick one out for you.

From the specs, its actually already a pretty decent pc for things like online class and some light gaming, but there is some things that i want to note here, if your system is still running on an HDD, then like ceriumin said, you need to upgrade to an SSD whenever possible, at least get a 512gb one, it'll save you tons of time during boot and opening stuff.

Yes please thanks

 

[erifino10]

Yes please thanks

with a budget of $100, I'd recommend an Adata Ultimate SU800 1tb, Samsung 870 QVO 1tb, or a WD Blue 1tb, samsung and adata both at $99, while wd blue is around $95, for budget (around $50), its the Adata SU655 480gb, or the Kingston A400 480gb would be nice
